ActiveMQ - April 2007 Board Report

[Brian McCallister <br...@apache.org>]

ActiveMQ has had an active month: voting in a new committer, John  
Heitmann, and making two releases, ActiveMQ 4.1.1 - a bug fix release  
of the Java server and clients, and the  ActiveMQ CPP Client 2.0.0 -  
a major release of the C++ client.

A new component, Camel, has been initiated. Camel is a routing and  
mediation engine which allows for describing message routing rules  
for ActiveMQ, CXF, ServiceMix, and MINA.

The developer and user communities remain very active.

On a side note, a company, LogicBlaze, employing about a third of the  
ActiveMQ committers has been acquired by IONA. It is not expected  
that this will impact ActiveMQ directly, but as it affects a  
significant percentage of the contributors, bears mentioning.
