All, Since Bertrand is leaving the DeviceMap PMC (as of now) it is only a question of weeks maybe (e.g. till the next board meeting in Seville) before the project will be archived into the Apache Attic since the minimum PMC number is no longer met. And of course the community (committers) have not contributed as intended, so they either don't use DeviceMap (at least in production) or are fine with the existing codebase. That won't change in the attic either.
Looking at a recently archived project like DeltaCloud: http://deltacloud.apache.org/ If the static project page remains in a similar way that would certainly beneficial. DeltaCloud also has the download folders http://www.apache.org/dist/deltacloud/ in place. Given the latest Snapshot of DeviceMap clients (for Java also in the Maven snapshot repo) point to http://www.apache.org/dist/devicemap/data instead of the VM instance, that would be highly beneficial to keep in a similar way (probably just a symbolic link to http://archive.apache.org/dist/deltacloud/) The VM makes no sense, it was often unstable, so best to shut it down no later than when DeviceMap is actually archived. Those who want to run or host the demos can do so from source code. Regards, Werner
