o Community / Development
  * Apache Jackrabbit Oak has finally hit the stage with its first major
    release in May. Apache Jackrabbit Oak is a new JCR implementation with a
    completely new architecture. Based on concepts like eventual consistency
    and multi-version concurrency control, and borrowing ideas from
    distributed version control systems and cloud-scale databases, the Oak
    architecture is a major leap ahead for Apache Jackrabbit.

  * Davide Gianella joined the Jackrabbit team as committer and PMC member
    in June. 

  * Various sessions about Jackrabbit and Oak have been submitted / accepted 
    to international conferences like ApacheCon, ApacheConEU,
    .adaptTo(Berlin).
