The OW2 Technology Council (TC) makes project lifecycle decisions, builds the overall technical architecture, defines technical guidelines and provides technology validation. It is run by its elected Chairman, Daniele Gagliardi, from Engineering Group, and by the OW2 CTO, Stéphane Laurière. The Council is composed of 50+ OW2 project leaders and additional hands-on open-source practitioners. This presentation will describe the overall role of the Technology Council, the main achievements carried out in 2016 and the outlook for 2016 and 2017.
