Wakaama project has been declared dysfunctional (see [1] for more details) and has no project lead nor actively involved committers anymore.
The team need to be renewed. There are some Wakaama users willing to join the project as committers but they are new to the Eclipse ecosystem. That's why Frédéric Desbiens (Program Manager, IoT and Edge Computing) and Jens Reimann( Iot PMC Lead) proposed Simon Bernard to serve as the interim project lead on Wakaama project.
Simon Bernard is involved as eclipse committer since 2014 and is also project lead on Leshan [2] (Java Implementation of LWM2M at Eclipse foundation).
The interim lead will not assume the technical leadership of the project. The new committers will need to handle that aspect themselves, with the interim lead acting as a mediator in case of disagreements. The interim lead will need to act as a mentor and facilitator to help the team learn and apply the Eclipse Development process.
After few months, if the new team performs well a new active committer will be elected as new project lead.
