Hi Peter, as Piotr says is sad news, but I want to be positive, and hope that you could continue connected to Apache Royale and contributing whenever possible. I think you contributions are key to this project and as well I think we are this days getting many important milestones.
I believe blindly that this project can be differentiating for the web and be the next generation of current trends, so I see no better change than staying ;) If that can be possible, at least I want to wish you the best in your new journey. Thanks for all done and...fight to stay with us!! :)) Carlos 2018-04-22 18:49 GMT+02:00 Piotr Zarzycki <[email protected]>: > Hi Peter, > > This is definitely sad news and a big loss to that project if it happened. > However I understand fully that sometimes we just need to start something > new and even totally different. > > Thank you very much for your notes and that repository - It is something > which I will add to the list to look! > > All The Best! > Piotr > > 2018-04-22 18:37 GMT+02:00 Peter Ent <[email protected]>: > > > Hi, > > > > As many of you know, over five years ago Adobe Systems donated Flex to > the > > Apache Foundation.
