Report Apache Celix

[Pepijn Noltes <pe...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

See below the board report for this month. If there any remarks please
reply quick, because we should submit the report today.

Greetings,
Pepijn

## Description:
   OSGi framework implementation in C.

## Activity:
 - Discussion started for the next release. This will be a release without
APR dependency in the framework, which will be backwards incompatible
update.
- celix-bootstrap added to Apache Celix. celix-bootstrap is a project/code
generation tool which can be used to create new Apache Celix Bundle project
and initial code for bundles.
- Alexander Broekhuis & Pepijn Noltes presented "Modularizing C software
with Apache Celix" @ the Luminis devcon (Netherlands).

The activity for Apache Celix has been slow for the last months and we
expect this will increase for preparation of the next release.
Although for time to time activity on the Apache Celix mailing-lists can be
slow, we think this is natural for a small community; As long as there are
also burst of more active periods.
