We'll continue the quarterly release cadence that we started last year with WildFly 12, so the next major, WildFly 16, should be out in less than two months. This year Jakarta EE will be a priority, both getting Jarkarta EE 8 certification and helping drive EE forward. Another major focus will be continuing to improve the usability of WildFly on the cloud -- enhanced observability, enhanced ability to tailor your installation to your specific requirements, enhanced ability to use external services instead of in-vm resources for things like messaging and caching, and development of an OpenShift operator[1] for Wildfly. And plenty of other goodies too!</div><div style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif">Besides following this list and JIRA, I recommend that people interested in the development of WildFly occasionally check out the wildfly-proposals github repo[2]. For any new feature going into WildFly there will be a document added to that repo where the feature requirements will be discussed and sometimes some design details. Participating in the review of proposals there (via PR comments) is a great way to help ensure features meet your needs.</div><div style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif">[1] <a href="https://blog.openshift.com/introducing-the-operator-framework/" target="_blank">https://blog.openshift.com/introducing-the-operator-framework/</a></div><div style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif">[2] <a href="https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly-proposals/pulls" target="_blank">https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly-proposals/pulls</a></div><div style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif">Best regards,</div><div style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif">Brian</div><div style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif"> </div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, Jan 7, 2019 at 2:26 PM Jason Greene <<a href="mailto:jason.greene@redhat.com" target="_blank">jason.greene@redhat.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">[Also Posted to Wildfly Blog: <a href="http://wildfly.org/staging/news/2019/01/07/New-Project-Lead/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://wildfly.org/staging/news/2019/01/07/New-Project-Lead/</a>]<br>
<br>
I am very excited to announce that Brian Stansberry (@bestansberry) will be taking on the role of WildFly project lead. Brian has been a major contributor to the project for almost 15 years now. During this time, he led a number of critical and complex subsystems including Clustering, Management, and most recently the cross-cutting cloud integration work. He is also one of our most active reviewers, and has helped many contributors navigate deep WildFly internals. Congratulations Brian!<br>
<br>
It’s been a great journey, so I want to think each and every one of you for your contributions and support over the years. Our work as a community has frequently pushed the envelope, and led to WildFly being one of the most innovative and popular application servers available. While I will be moving on from this role, I won’t be too far way, still participating but tackling a new challenge (I’ll have more to say about that in the future).<br>
<br>
With Brian at the helm, and all the great folks contributing to the project, I know WildFly has a bright future. I look forward to seeing the next chapter.<br>
