Future of bnd?

[Konrad Windszus <kw...@apache.org>]

Hi,
Just wanted to share that probably the bnd tooling is lacking maintenance in the future:
Peter Kriens will stop working for bnd (https://bnd.discourse.group/t/it-seems-time-to-go/491) (after BJ has left some time ago https://bnd.discourse.group/t/the-end-of-an-era/291).
Those two were crucial for the maintenance of it. Let’s see what the future brings…

Thanks for sharing, bnd is indeed a central tool for us.

Looking at the 6 months contribution graph [1] I see at least one
significant contributor, so I am moderately optimistic about the future
of bnd.

I hope time will not prove me wrong :-)

Thanks,
Robert
