Re: [osgi-dev] [osgi-technology-dev] OSGi Technology Project co-lead retirements
|
Dear BJ,
I started on my OSGi journey roughly a decade ago. It did not take
long, until I stumbled upon BJ's name. He has been on the
forefront of its inception and significantly helped to form OSGi
as a stable and reliable technology. He is a hard sparing partner
and he helped shaped nearly all specifications.
We are in deep gratitude to you for all your work and effort
you've put in the running of the different projects, the former
OSGi Alliance and now Working Group. In the name of the whole
community, we want to thank you, BJ, with all our hearts! You did
more than a great job and you will be really missed in all areas.
We hope to still see you around from time to time. At the same
time, we wish, that you'll find joy and fulfillment in your new
role at IBM. After such a long time, something new can be
invigorating.
On a personal note, I want to thank you as well. Even when I did
not enjoy it, when you slapped down my ideas (we internally called
it the BJ slap), did I relish the learning experience this gave
me. Nowadays I realize that such hard discussions are necessary to
get something great in the end. I use a lot of things, you have
created and maintained on a daily basis and can hardly express the
gratitude I feel.
To the Community:
After a week, we are still a bit in shock and it is time for us
all to step up and help filling the big hole, BJ leaves in our
rank. We have a lot of great minds, that are involved in a lot of
our projects and I'm pretty sure, that we have enough shoulders to
bear the load. I'm looking forward to the coming weeks and months
to see what we can achieve together.
All the best,
Jürgen.

Hargrave:
With a change in my role at work, I will no
longer have time to work on OSGi on a regular basis nor to be
a project co-lead for the OSGi Technology project. Ray will
also be stepping back from being a project co-lead for the
OSGi Technology project.
So, we will both be
retiring as project leads and a new project lead will
need to be
elected by the project committers.
So now we need any project committers who
would be willing to become the project lead to be nominated
followed by an election.
Please consider taking on this role and
nominating yourself. Ray and I will, of course, be available
to aid in the transition.
