one year-with-chameleon

One year with Dr. Clement Escoffier, akquinet A.G. Karl Pauls, akquinet A.G. Guillaume Sauthier, Bull SAS

OW2 Chameleon was born almost one year ago. The project’s goal is to provide an infrastructure and common services to build flexible and customizable OSGi-‐based applicaEon servers. OW2 Chameleon has grown during this year and reached a level of maturity that allows producEon deployments. CollaboraEons with others open-‐source projects were also started this year. Furthermore, the development is integrated with the OW2 infrastructure. OW2 Chameleon strives to be a good OW2 CiEzen and follows a Mentoring approach.
