## Description:
- Apache ACE is a software distribution framework that allows you to centrally manage and
distribute modular software components, configuration data and other artifacts to OSGi
based and related target systems.
 
## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:
- Following our last release we are answering some questions and fixing bugs. Progress was
slow over the summer holidays. There are a couple of off-list discussions about future
work for ACE. Through a back-channel we've received word that ACE is also running on a
private cloud, we're reaching out to the people behind it to see if they are interested
to spread the word on how they did this.

## Health report:
- The current release seems pretty stable. There are still some ongoing discussions about
extending ACE.
