Wow, I have never been so excited about a sentence in a blog post.
I started eight years ago trying to convince Embarcadero that open source is the only way to move forward. I created a petition about it https://www.change.org/p/embarcadero-technologies-release-the-intellectual-property-of-bold-for-delphi. Thanks for those that signed it and make attention to Embarcadero. And today I see this blog https://blogs.embarcadero.com/august-2020-gm-blog/
This summer we will also open source the code base of Bold, which is a sort of low code solution for RAD Studio. We have a passionate group of Delphi community experts who will take that effort forward.
We have our Bold source in a private repository and can contribute anytime. It has been in production for 17 years now. We make continuous bugfixes and optimizations in the source. Sometimes also new features. Currently, we are using Delphi 10.3 Rio but will soon switch to 10.4 Sydney.
If you are a Bold developer or maybe just interested in model-driven development you can send a message to me at roland.bengtsson(at)attracs.com with questions or thoughts. But the first and most important move, to wait for Embarcadero publish to the source
