Hi all,

I am also +1 for Taylor as PMC and please count me in as well (my first
comment was a bit vague about it).

Looks like, that the discussion is going well. We know see a lot of
involvement ;-) (didn't see that for years on this list!).

Re: [DISCUSSION] Apache Storm and moving to the Attic

2023-02-03 Thread Julien Nioche
Hi,

I'd be happy to get involved. I haven't delved deep into Storm's code but
have been using it for years and my project StormCrawler relies heavily on
it. I have been a committer on several Apache projects but not been active
in any of them for a while.
I know that there are loads of StormCrawler users and of course that also
makes them Storm users. Even though a number of people might have moved to
other platforms, I don't believe Storm is dead and maintenance mode is
probably an accurate description. So if you are willing to lower the bar,
please count me in and am definitely +1 for Taylor as a PMC chair.

Cheers

Julien
