| == Community update |
| |
| Jeremias Maerki has proposed, and posted a patch for, an addition to the spi-fly module called SPI Catcher. |
| Its objective is along the lines of the OSGi Connect work in the OSGi Alliance to make it easier to get started with OSGi dynamic services technology. |
| The SPI Catch approach is complementary by introducing OSGi APIs much later, if at all, ensuring "runnability totally outside of OSGi" is preserved. |
| |
| No new committers since the last report. |
| The user/dev lists and JIRAs have had some varied discussions across the Aries modules. |
| |
| There are no board level issues. |
