Hi Mark, Thanks for the mail & discussion. Maybe we need a Geode discord? I vote against but can't contribute resources to keep it going. I think it was a generous decision of Gemfire / VM to open source Gemfire / Geode in the first place. They've closed sourced it again because of the $ from commercial support & clients still using it. There was definitely uptake because of open source that wouldn't have happened commercially. A pity that the open source model isn't commercially making $ for the owning corporation.
Thanks, kind regards, Rupert Rupert St John Webster Webster Systems Ltd Tel: 07740 289100 http://www.webstersystems.co.uk UK Registered No: 6517977 -----Original Message----- From: Mark Bretl <mbr...@apache.org> Sent: 27 July 2024 01:02 To: geode <dev@geode.apache.org> Subject: [VOTE] Resolution to Terminate Apache Geode Hello Geode PMC and Dev Community, Based on the minimal responses we have had with requests for new volunteers and various discussions on the overall project health, the time has come to have a vote for moving the Geode project to the Apache Attic.
