no news from Olingo since we paused Attic workflow we just had a useful ping from INFRA Jira ticket https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-27574
If no news in the next 72h, we'll "un-pause": we tried to adapt as much as possible, but we can't stay in this state Best Regards, Hervé, from the Attic Le lundi 2 février 2026, 11:49:22 CET Niall Pemberton a écrit : > On Fri, 23 Jan 2026 at 08:16, Hervé Boutemy <[email protected]> wrote: > > Attic work on marking everything in the Attic has been done, but > > infrastructure has not been cleaned up yet > > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-27574 > > > > as you can see, I asked for not cleaning up your infra for now: if you > > think > > you can do a normal vote for a normal release (even if the PMC is > > officially > > disbanded, but Shane does not see an objection that the binding votes from > > the > > PMC are still binding), you can do a normal final release > > The Olingo PMC no longer exists - it was terminated by the Board on 17th > December: > https://whimsy.apache.org/board/minutes/Olingo.html#2025-12-17 > > Since an official ASF release is an “act of the PMC”, it’s therefore not > possible for the Olingo PMC to do a release.
