Hello everyone,

At Institutional Shareholder Services we just rolled out additional Mesos 
clusters in two of our data-centers. Those are based on Mesos 1.11.0 running on 
Debian 11 (using cgroups v1).

Obviously I personally would like to see the community grow again, and also 
more than happy to contribute. Unfortunately it does seem like the 
Apache-process with all it different rules, policies, 
contributor/commiter/PMC-hierarchies and requirements does not provide enough 
flexibility needed right now to "jump-start"/resurrect the Mesos project. I 
also feel that the Mesos-brand/name itself could benefit from a refresher. Plus 
there are different ideas on how to slim-down/overhaul the source-code/project 
itself. Guess we are also considering maintaining our own branch, ideally as 
open-source.

Cheers,
--Marcel
