Hi, With Reza leaving this project, the future looks grim to me.
As per http://people.apache.org/committers-by-project.html#devicemap-pmc this leaves 4 PMC members, all of which have been active recently, fortunately. Voting on releases, electing new people etc. requires 3 positive votes from PMC members, so 4 members is very tight as people are not expected to be available all the time. One option is to retire this project to http://attic.apache.org/ - the code would remain available but not maintained anymore, the DeviceMap PMC would be terminated and people are free to continue development outside of Apache (with suitable name changes) or within other Apache projects. Another option is to try continuing for a while, and see if this very small community can grow again. I'm not optimistic about that, but if people want to try that I would agree to stay for 3-6 months as an experienced Apache member who can help keep things on track - up to a point. As I said earlier, I'm not planning on being active on the technical side of things at the moment. WDYT? -Bertrand
