Hi,

In Aug 2018, a vote to move Usergrid to the Attic did not pass as there was
interest in bringing contributions from a private fork back into the
project. In Feb 2019, I asked the dev community for help to resolve some
long standing issues. We haven't gotten consistent contributions to bring
the project back to a healthy state. Now in 2021, Usergrid is essentially
in the same state it was back in Aug 2018 but it's aged even more:

1. No activity on the mailing lists or JIRA
2. Usergrid still only supports Cassandra 1.x(unsupported) and
Elasticsearch 1.7.x (EOL'd).
https://github.com/apache/usergrid/tree/master/stack#requirements
3. Elasticsearch licensing has changed and there is a fair amount of effort
required to ensure Usergrid stays within license on newer versions. See
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-571.
4. Modernizing the deployment has not happened.
(containerization/kubernetes, supporting more cloud providers than just
AWS, etc.)

We should again discuss the possibility about moving Usergrid to the Attic
given that it's been 2.5 years with not much change. Thoughts?
