To link with the last few times this came up: From: Lars Ellenberg, 2015-02-10 20:44:40 GMT Reviving the OCF OpenCF.org Open cluster framework http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.clustering.opencf.general/31/focus=31 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.clustering.opencf.general/31/focus=46 ^^ that one seems relevant. Basically "we all" agreed that $someone should do $something, and we would point all available pointers we still have control over to the result. As it frequently is, no-one felt to be $someone, and so $something still needs to be done :-) Thanks for picking it up again! Re "LF work group": I'm very bad with bureaucracy myself...
