[weld-dev] Weld 2

[Pete Muir]

All

I'm pleased to say that development on Weld 2 will start in earnest next week. Weld 2 will be implementing CDI 1.1.

Jozef Hartinger is starting part time on this. He will be doing 30hrs a week until his thesis finishes, at which point he will switch to full time. Jozef has previously worked for the JBoss QA department, and was a big contributor to the CDI 1.0 TCK. He's also been a contributor to Seam for many years. Welcome Jozef!

Jozef will send out more info, like info on the branch for Weld 2 on github, and get JIRA set up to report bugs against 2.0.0 next week.

With this in mind we will have a weekly IRC meeting at 2pm UK time to keep everyone up to date with the status of the development. Here's the first one http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Weld+2.0+meeting&iso=20111028T14&p1=90. I'll add you to a calendar invite if you want, just send me a note.

At this meeting we'll hear from Jozef about progress on Weld 2, and Martin Kouba, who is now leading the CDI TCK, about progress on the CDI 1.1 TCK.

Best,

Pete
