Plan
- first release 0.8.0 in the next weeks
- waiting for the last CQ (Type-B) to be approved, fallback to Type-A release
- key features: digital twin framework with well-defined APIs and out-of-the-box connectivity to Eclipse Hono + MQTT brokers
- next year: road towards 1.0.0 - main features: reported/desired state, type enforcement
Challenges
- term "digital twins" mostly seen as marketing buzzword
- attracting users who don't yet know they would benefit from "digital twin" framework
- contributions are still unlikely, focus is on finding users
