Re: Health of this project -- should we keep going?

I want you first to know that I am not the person that uses TomEE in a 
professional way. Although I use it since 2012 I only delivered 1 
application in 2019 that was used in a real production environment with 
a few hundred users. It needed some convincing to get it into 
production, what about support? But it does not mean that if you do not 
pay for support that you do not get it.

I have used WebLogic in the past but there is no community version 
available and it is not that light weighted. That is why I use TomEE. 
Once you get to know your way it is a simple and effective application 
server that can be used by everybody.

I wish that I had more technical knowledge to help with the project, 
documentation or development (would love to create a console application 
to show better inside information on deployed applications and 
datasources). This is also the reason why I stick to TomEE 8 and will 
not change to TomEE 9. I prefer to not fix what is not broken.

So my usage of TomEE would not convince the Apache board convinced to 
keep this project going. But I want you to know that I really love TomEE 
and that stopping this project would be a big loss to the Open Source 
community.

Kind regards,

Marco
