Hey all,
hope this finds you well. ; o)
We have wonderful and great news for you.
Mifos X Platform will become an Apache Project. We started to talk with
people from Apache at the end of last year and were accepted as an
incubation project prior to new year.
What does this mean for you and Mifos?
Mifos will still be the main entry point for partners and users in the
financial inclusion space. We will provide a tailored distribution for you
and all your clients. We will care about your needs even more than before
because we now can focus on our social mission. Our current development
resources will work on features and issues that are important to our huge
community.
The development of the platform will reach a new level of acceptance. As an
Apache project we will reach another audience of technology people,
allowing software development under a well known and respected governance.
In addition an Apache project get way more acceptance in the world, given
that most technologies and innovations under the Apache Umbrella drive the
Internet and Big Data. Just a few examples, Apache web server is still the
most used web server, Apache Hadoop is the Big Data/Data Mining platform
that serves as a reference for all other products.
The community-app and our Android Client will stay with Mifos, only the
platform will become an Apache project. For this we need to transfer the
code over to a new repository hosted by Apache, adjust the naming and
licensing. This will lead to a feature freeze for approx. 4 weeks, starting
this week. Our core team will release one more version prior to this freeze
on January 20.
I invite you all to join us in this effort and make Mifos the next big
thing at Apache!

Feel free to join the user or dev list and be part of the next evolution of
Mifos.
Best wishes,
