How to get involved in the ACE project?
Hello,
My customer (US Army) is in need of a distributed provisioning and
configuration management/monitoring solution for OSGi for various projects
(devices, service/applications, hybrid/EE applications, etc). As I was just
about to email the felix users distro on a coherent provisioning and
configuration management solution (complete software lifecycle management),
I decided to check the apachecon talks coming up to see if there was
something along these lines. Here I found the ACE incubator project.
While the project may not meet 100% of my requirements, I believe it is a
big boost to where I want to be. Further, I have been granted permission to
contribute back to any Open Source project I am involved with (with any
license so long as the government contributions (stuff I do at work) is
Apache or GPL).
I noticed there is very little in jira for this project but some activity on
the mailing list. I guess, simply put...where/how can I help? I have the
trunk downloaded and will be going through it. Perhaps I can start on
documentation as I learn about the system?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Marcel,
Yes, I am here all week. Perhaps you can tell me when/where to meet
and I'll be sure to be there.

Hello Steven,
As Jean-Baptiste said, documenting your findings as you learn the system would be great. I would also be interested in learning more about your requirements. Are you by any chance at ApacheCon? If so, let's meet!
Greetings, Marcel

Hi Steve,
The dev mailing list is a good startup :)
All contributions are welcome (around the documentation, etc).
For your informations, Toni worked on the maven build of ACE and Marcel
made some cleanups recently.
On my side, I plan to merge the AutoDeploy to provide larger
provisioning and deployment support in ACE.
On the other hand, the support of Karaf feature is in progress.
Regards
JB
