| [osgi-wg] Change in Leadership |
Dear OSGi
Fellows,
after more then 20 <ears hard work for and dedication towards
OSGi and over
40 years in the IT business, Dan Bandera announced that he will
move into well
earned retirement. Although it was clear that this day would
come, we all have
been surprised by it actually happening. Dan has always been a
rock to rely on
and a great leader and mentor. For me personally his open and
encouraging
manner was a large influence on our decision to join the former
OSGi Alliance
and now working group. A lot of our members know Dan longer then
I have. They
have been in the trenches with him and could surely provide
other good deeds
and stories of him.
For you Dan, I'd like to extend a wholehearted thank you from me
personally and
from all the members of the working group for all you have done.
We wish you
luck and happiness in your new life-phase.
With retiring, he automatically vacated his seat as Chair of the
Working Groups
Steering Committee. I have the honor to follow in his steps and
hope that I can
fill his shoes without embarrassing myself.
For those who don't know me, I quickly like to introduce myself:
I'm CEO of
Data In Motion a software development and consulting company
based in
Jena/Germany. I work with OSGi for a bit over 10 years. I
started with it in
the form Eclipse RCP, moved to server side OSGi, used PDE and
Tycho and moved
nowadays to BND. We joined the OSGi Alliance one faithful day at
the EclipseCon
in 2016. With the move to the Eclipse Foundation, we became
Strategic Member
and I'm our representative in the Steering and Specification
Committee since. I
love OSGi and my goal is to see it blossom again. I believe that it is one of
the best tools in
the Java world to build good, reliable and lasting Software.
I'm at your service and every one of you can contact me directly
at any time.
Sincerely,
Jürgen Albert.
