Hello Apache Fluo users and developers, The Apache Fluo project is now operating under new management. During the April 2025 meeting, the ASF Board approved the transition of the Fluo project to be managed by the Accumulo PMC. The Fluo PMC is dissolved.
For users and contributors, little will change. The existing Fluo releases will continue to work as they have, and users will still be able to submit tickets and open pull requests against its git repos using the GitHub issue tracker(s). Furthermore, the Accumulo PMC will vote on new releases of Fluo software, when needed. There are no immediate plans for a new release, but I anticipate that a new one will be made available in the future to work with newer versions of Accumulo that are currently under development. Over the next few weeks, the Accumulo PMC will be making updates to the Fluo website at fluo.apache.org to restore it to a functional state (it is currently not fully functional due to changes in ASF policies regarding linking to third-party web assets since the last time it was updated), and to update any governance-related pages or pages documenting the project maintainers, to reflect its new management. We will also be requesting INFRA make changes to the mailing lists to ensure the Accumulo PMC is receiving correspondence from Fluo users on the mailing lists. However, we encourage users/developers to use the Accumulo mailing lists at https://accumulo.apache.org/contact-us/#mailing-lists instead, as it is likely that the existing Fluo mailing lists will be archived; no changes to the #fluo Slack channel are expected at this time, but if you use the ASF Slack instance, you can also reach out to the Accumulo developers in the #accumulo channel. Things may change in the future, as the Accumulo PMC makes decisions about how to manage the Fluo project's git repositories and more. If you wish to stay involved, please subscribe to the Accumulo dev list (see the contact-us link above). Kind regards, The Accumulo PMC
