= January 2012 Board report

Apache Aries delivers a set of pluggable Java components enabling an enterprise OSGi application programming model.

We have successfully executed on our 'release by bundle' approach.
This will help our users who would like to take updates of individual bundles: "Small releases".
Distribution releases containing sets of bundles that combine well together will come later: "Big releases".
