Hi all, First of all: I hope you are still with us on the mailing list. If you are, you have no doubt noticed a lot of unwanted spam activity on JIRA and thus also on the mailing list today.
It happened even though the ASF JIRA was _already_ in a lockdown mode due to spam on all the projects. The lockdown mode means that only committers and admins etc. are allowed to create issues. Somehow the spammers managed to circumvent this permission scheme for the METAMODEL project. Infra is looking into how that could be... A short term solution is now in place though: Our JIRA is for the moment in complete read-only mode. What does this mean for us? Here's my suggestion: * We cannot clean up your inbox for you. So delete the mails you got today (except maybe this one :)) * Infra will delete the issues on JIRA for us. * If you want to report a new issue or discuss/change an existing issue - for the moment simply do this via email to this mailing list ([email protected]) * If you have a patch that you want to share, GitHub and the reviewboard are both still operational. * When we accept patches then make sure to update CHANGES.md. Since JIRA is not useful right now, we will use CHANGES.md as our way of tracking what has been done and then update JIRA when possible. Should something like this ever happen again, then the ASF infra guys on HipChat are nice and responsive. Just go to this URL and let them know: https://www.hipchat.com/gIjVtYcNy Thank you all for your patience. Best regards, Kasper
