There was no 'directive'. There was an opinion expressed by one member of the board - and as far as I understand the Apache Board hasn't rolled over and died just yet. > 2. Discussions and votes on the Avalon PMC list. Can you please post the vote results. > 3. Avalon PMC October Board report which was published on the PMC list. I > can re-publish this to the dev list if you would like. I would be interesting in seeing this together with the endorsement of the report by the PMC members. > 4. Responses from the Board members to the #3 report. Please provide this as well. > I'd like to point out that I've been notifying the user, dev, and PMC > lists about closing Avalon since Oct 4 [1] and there have been no > objections nor any alternative solutions presented by the community. I do hope that this is not a case of people simply ignoring your point of view, however, I haven't seen any indications of support for your recent posts from either the development or user communities. More importantly - there are hundreds of users of the Avalon platform and those hundreds of users are not going to disappear just like that. You and the Board may choose to ignore the user community - but please note that this would not be a position that I would endorse. Migration will take time and effort and I expect the ASF to act responsibly in this matter and do everything they can to support our users.
