Re: Releasing OSGi bundles of other Apache projects....

[Jean-Baptiste Onofré <jb...@nanthrax.net>]

Just an update, I'm preparing a new bundles release. For each bundle in 
this release, I also prepared a patch that I will propose to the 
projects, creating a Jira if required.

@Dan, maybe you can mention to the board that the ServiceMix team 
started to work as requested.

@team, I will send a summary on the submitted patches.

Regards
JB
