Exactly one year ago, ME Framework has been released to the public under GPLv2 license. A LOT happened during this first year in the open source. And here are the most notable events and milestones:

• Major upgrade version ME Framework 1.2 has been released. (See what’s new).
• Minor bug-fix version ME Framework 1.1.2 has been released. (See what’s new).
• License improvement: We added “Classpath Exception” to the GPLv2.
• Completely new Developer’s Guide for 1.2 has been created.
• 4 sample test suites have been created, to simplify the first steps for the new users.
• JavaOne 2007 session devoted to ME Framework.
• Created a prototype for ME Framework NetBeans Development Module. More info about the module here and here.
• 1460 commits to the source repository.
• 641 messages posted to the ME Framework discussion forum.
• 12 engineers and 2 doc writers were contributing (most are part-time). THANKS!

And most importantly, it was fun! OK, now on to the second year, with hope that it will be even crazier!
