OW2
Chameleon
was
born
almost
one
year
ago.
The
project’s
goal
is
to
provide
an
infrastructure
and
common
services
to
build
flexible
and
customizable
OSGi-­‐based
applicaEon
servers.
OW2
Chameleon
has
grown
during
this
year
and
reached
a
level
of
maturity
that
allows
producEon
deployments.
CollaboraEons
with
others
open-­‐source
projects
were
also
started
this
year.
Furthermore,
the
development
is
integrated
with
the
OW2
infrastructure.
OW2
Chameleon
strives
to
be
a
good
OW2
CiEzen
and
follows
a
Mentoring
approach.
