By now you might have heard that Red Hat announced significant changes to their middleware strategy last month.
Let me start by saying that this has come as a surprise to us as we were not aware of it in advance.
Nonetheless, here we are, and I wanted to provide Weld community with some context as well as talk about how this affects the project.

If you want to read the official announcement, it can be found on the Red Hat blog.
In short, some key points from the article are:

I do not anticipate this change having any significant impact on Weld project perhaps with the exception of a temporary disruption during the transition period.
We remain committed to development of Weld as the compatible implementation of Jakarta CDI specification as well as its standalone capabilities.
The project remains open source and contributions as well as bug reports are still very much welcome!

For Weld team
Matej

I’m pleased to announce a couple of changes coming to the Weld team.

First of all, Matěj Novotný will be taking over the leadership of the project. Matěj has proven himself to be an excellent engineer, contributing not only to Weld projects but also to the CDI specification and TCK development. I’m really happy that I can hand over the leadership to this guy!

Matěj’s primary task is leading the project towards "Java 11 world" and to meet the other challenges such as reactive programming model enhancements.

Secondly, Nikoleta Žiaková is joining the team as a quality engineer. She’s going to work on expanding our testsuites and improving our continuous integration.

Last but not least, I’m not going to leave the project but stay as a contributor focused on related technologies such as WildFly, Thorntail and MicroProfile.

Martin

I am pleased to announce a couple of changes coming to the Weld team:

First of all, Martin will be taking over leadership of the project. Martin has proven himself to be an excellent engineer over all the years and I am happy that I can leave the project in his hands. His primary task is going to be leading the project towards the Weld 3 milestone.

Secondly, I will be moving to work temporarily on a different project. I truly enjoyed working on Weld and with the CDI community. Now after almost 4 years on the project I was given an exciting opportunity which I decided to pursuit.

Last but not least, Matěj Novotný is joining the team as a quality engineer. He’s going to work on expanding our testsuites and making sure Weld releases do not break anything :-)
