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

A total of 11 release of the Camel 1.x series.
And so far 23 releases (and 3 milestones, and 1 RC) of the Camel 2.x series.

+ + +

Just to name a few noteworthy highlights in the last five years:

First commit on March 19th 2007
Camel 1.0 was released on July 2th 2007, which was a very fantastic start.
Camel 2.0 was released in August 2009
Apache Camel became Top Level Project in January 2009
Camel in Action book published in January 2010
Camel Team has grown from 7 to 34 committers
The codebase has grown more than 10x since the 1.0 release
Number of components has grown from 18 to more than 120
And just recently Apache Camel 2.10 was released, including many new components contributed by the community

+ + +

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 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!

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.

We had a great stay at ApacheCon EU 2012 in Sinsheim, Germany last week.

+ +

Some of the Apache Camel and Apache ActiveMQ committers like Hadrian Zbarcea, Charles Moulliard, Christian Schneider, Guillaume Nodet, Jean-Baptiste Onofré, Dejan Bosanac, Aki Yoshida and myself met some of our contributor like Lukasz Dywicki, Christian Ohr, Adrian Trenaman and some of our users like Kai Wähner, Frank Pientka, Achim Nierbeck, Preben Asmussen, Alex Zbarcea and some more from SAP and other companies.

+ +

+In the Apache Camel in Action track we had five talks about Camel and ActiveMQ:
+Christian Müller: Apache Camel in Action - Common problems, solutions and best practices
+Hadrian Zbarcea: Apache Camel - Advanced Techniques
+Dejan Bosanac: Apollo and future of ActiveMQ
+Kai Wähner: Next Generation – Systems Integration in the Cloud Era with Apache Camel
+Łukasz Dywicki: When Camel meets CDI

+ +

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.

+ + +

+Koseki Nobuyuki arrived from Japan with great gifts from the Japan Apache Camel User Group for many Camel committer, contributor and user. Thanks again Koseki, we hope you have returned well.

+ +

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.
+We have also talked about the long awaited Camel 3.0 release and what should be included and in which manner. We shared and discussed some ideas but didn't make any decisions except to revive the discussion about Camel 3.0. Expect some [DISCUSS] threads in the next day's at our development mailing list. If you are interested in these discussions and want share your opinions, please join us! You can find out more about our mailing lists here.

+ +

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!
