NewsLike other ASF projects, Camel benefits from the contributions of a large community of developers and users. One of the Camel PMC focuses is fostering collaboration and growing a stronger, increasingly diverse community. Part of it is easy access to the code. While traditionally the ASF used svn repositories in the past couple of years we provided git mirrors on github. Recently the ASF started to support native git repositories for projects and we thought git would be option for Camel and decided to migrate our svn repo to git. The migration is now complete and development taked place on the official Camel git repository. We still have a bit of work to do in updating the site and the instructions for contributors. The github mirror does not yet sync up with git repo, and we're working on resolving this as well. However, development is back to normal, as active as ever, and we provided, we hope, an easier way to access, use and improve our (collective) code. For more instructions on using git check the ASF git site. The Camel community announces the immediate availability of the new patch release camel-2.9.7. This release is issued after 6 weeks of development of the 2.9.6 release. The artifacts are published and ready for you to download either from the Apache mirrors or from the Central Maven repository. For more details please take a look at the release notes. This will be the last planned Camel 2.9.x release. For practical reasons, the Camel community is committed to only supporting and providing patch releases for the last 2 minor versions. And because we released the 2.11.0 version last week and start working on Camel 2.12, we will discontinue the support for the camel-2.9.x branch now. Please use this time to plan your upgrades. Many thanks to all who made this release possible. The Apache Camel project is a powerful open source integration framework based on known Enterprise Integration Patterns.

The slides and audio recordings are not available yet, but I will post the links on the user mailing list and add it to our articles site if they are available.
We have had good discussions about new requirements which lead in the direction to support additional EIP's like the Control Bus EIP or the Message History EIP. After all this discussions (and sometime during the discussions), we had some beers together. I really enjoyed this time and I'm looking forward to meeting you all again at ApacheCon NA 2013 in Portland, Oregon. We have got 18 proposals for talks about Apache Camel. Keep your finger crossed that we will see many of these proposals accepted... Enjoy the Camel ride!

The Apache Camel user community is growing constantly with increased adoption especially during this year. We are grateful to our users who decide to give something back in the form of reporting bugs, providing patches and contributing to the documentation. We want to see more of you helping out and the most active join us as committers. It is also very rewarding to see that most of the contributors who became committers continue to stay involved. Therefore, in recognition of their continued contribution, the Apache Camel PMC invited recently two committers to join the PMC, be even more involved and take a greater responsibility in shaping the future of the Camel project. We welcome Charles Moulliard and Babak Vahdat as new Apache Camel PMC members. Many thanks for your past contributions and we look forward to the same commitment in the future. Christian Müller, The Apache Camel project is growing at the same steady pace we got used to with strong support from our community. The project would not be what it is without the community contributions. Now and then contributors stand out not only because of the high quality of the contributions, but also due to the commitment to the project and the time and energy spend on helping other users be as successful in using Camel. This is the case now with three more riders: Scott England-Sullivan, Henryk Konsek and Raul Kripalani. In recognition of their skills and passion the Camel community is proudly announcing them becoming new committers. On behalf of the Camel PMC, welcome aboard and we expect more great things coming from you!

Apache Camel turned 5 years old, on the 2nd of July 2012. Happy Birthday.
On that day 5 years ago Apache Camel 1.0 was released, just about 3.5 months after James Strachan did the very first commit of what became the Apache Camel codebase. Every since the first release Camel has gone from strength to strength, with many new releases since
Just to name a few noteworthy highlights in the last five years:
The Camel community is a very active community with a lot of collaboration around the Apache Camel project. Most noticeable is the fact the community builds many custom Camel Components and donate these to the project. That is why the project have grown from 18 to more than 120 components in these five years. As we write this there is new components on the way for Redis, CMIS, and more to come in the next 2.11 release. The word of the Apache Camel project is also spread with the fantastic help of the community. We have people write articles for both print and online magazines, as well the increasing number of blog posts about Apache Camel. We also see Apache Camel being presented at an increasing number of Java conferences, and not only by people from the Camel Team but also people from the community. There is also a growing number of people and posts on the various Camel forums such as the mailing list. And as well on 3rd party sites such as Stackoverflow, as shown by the next couple of graphs:
All together 5 fantastic first years. Cheers for another great years to come ahead. The Camel community announces the immediate availability of a new bug fix release camel-2.8.6.
