After a long 10 years, the board will likely be voting to move Apache
Olingo to the Attic at our meeting next month. Thanks to all those who
have contributed to this ASF project over the years!
What this means in practical terms is that the Apache Olingo project
will be turned read-only at it's existing URLs - code, websites, mail
archives, everything. While that shutters the active community here at
the ASF, all the resources are available for anyone who wants to fork
them, and users are free to continue using the software or improving it
themselves.
https://attic.apache.org/
For perspective: the ASF requires that PMCs have at least three active
PMC members, such that (for example) someone would notice if a
vulnerability were reported, and that the PMC could then make a release
with any needed fixes. This is important, because end users expect that
any "Apache GoodStuff" project would at least provide a basic level of
security or other major fixes if needed.
Thanks especially to the PMC members who have done the extra work in
past years to manage the project and make formal releases.
