Although the retirement for Apache Streams hasn't been formally decided, as there hasn't been any further signal for support or initiative, it does look like we'll have to draw that conclusion soon. You really tried your best in making Apache Streams a success, and with the openness and focus fitting for the Apache Software Foundation. That it didn't work out as anticipated and hoped for is of course disappointing, but sometimes that's just the way things goes. Thanks for saying so. There has been a lot of good work from the committers involved but not all efforts ultimately succeed. I definitely hope you will stick to it and at the ASF, contributing to and joining other projects because you clearly demonstrated to be an fine Apache committer. And not just because you are a nice and really smart guy, but also as a great advocate of the Apache Way, at ApacheCons and other places! Thanks for saying so. I’m not going anywhere. #bigdata is what I do and ASF is where it happens. > I’ll be submitting a (potentially final) release candidate later today. I'll take a look and review the release candidate over the weekend, which if OK and when receiving +3 from the IPMC, indeed might become a final incubating release for Apache Stream. Thanks. I'll follow up later on the VOTE thread for the release candidate on d...@streams.incubator.apache.org Kind regards, Ate > > Steve Blackmon > sblack...@apache.org > > On September 19, 2016 at 10:25:16 AM, Ate Douma (a...@douma.nu > <mailto:a...@douma.nu>) wrote: > >> On 2016-09-19 17:09, Suneel Marthi wrote: >> > I am sorry to be reading this, but I was at Steve Blackmon's talk last >> > week >> > in Berlin at Flink forward about using Streams + Flink. >> > >> > It was a very interesting talk and I chatted with Steve briefly about the >> > Streams project. >> >> Good to hear that! >> I wasn't aware Steve was presenting about Streams in Berlin. >> >> > >> > Is there absolutely no chance of reviving this project or giving the >> > project some more time before calling the attic ? >> >> Sure there is a chance, but for that the project needs active community >> involvement.
