Hi Alejandro,
It is certainly a sad news but it is really good to hear that jBPM will continue. I have started with jBPM not so long ago but I am already convinced that it will bring a lot to different businesses and community. It has been great time for me to be part of such fast growing community, professional expertise and people willing to help.
I would like to wish you all the best with your assignment.
P.S.
If you are looking for contributors I would like to offer my help.
Cheers,
Maciej
