How about: Technically progress has been slow the last months. There was a hackaton organized for remote services in Java [1], which although not directly related to Apache Celix, should eventually work together with the Apache Celix and as result the committers of Apache Celix where present. We also expect an increase in contributions the coming months because of the student intership / GSoC activities. [1] http://lists.amdatu.org/pipermail/dev/2013-March/000020.html
