HI All, With helping this proposal achieving a favourable outcome, may I suggest to do some - albeit subtle (we don't it to be regarded as spam) - promotion addressed at the Apache Spark community. Spark is AKKA based, and AKKA is a heavy Gossip user. Maybe some promotion targeted at the AKKa community might a consideration.
Promotion, in the line of 'we can use your help in building a sustainable project and thus the product will help the adoption of your <NameOfProject> project too. This might bring in the extra hands.
