Our mentors are concerned there is no activity on the maling list and no attempts has been made to do a release. The project is actually very active, we have important adopters like big cloud providers, defense contractors and government agencites, and countless private companies. And there has been commits as you can see here https://github.com/apache/openserverless-task/graphs/commit-activity There are also contributors from different sources. But we have neglected 3 important standards for the apache: using the maling list. doing a source release and also respond to security advisories. To be honest those advisories where something I was not aware of, but they are important. The truth is: we communicate in multiple channels, whatapp discord slack linkedin google meet but we do not use the maling list simple because almost all of us are not used to do that. And we did not do a source release because the way we distribute the software works for us, with a cli downloaded that pulls the. tasks and the images on demand from github and docker hub. But since we want to be an apache project this have to change. So now it is time to do a source release and we have to do that using the maling list. To coordinate the release we need a strong technical directions. There has been volunteer but unfortunely they did not make progresses in the attept. The only people who cnl realistically coordinate the release are me, Francesco or Bruno. And both Francesco and Bruno are busy for personal reasons, although they are willing to help. I was very busy as the CEO of Nuvolaris so to do the coordination by myself was not an option, until now. But this now changed: I handed over the role of CEO precisely because I want to focus more on technicalities and now I am going to use the free time to coordinatethe release. And I will do it USING ONLY THE MALING LIST. Let me say it again: no whatapp. no discord. no slack. no google meet. Only this maling list. And expect a lot of messages. So please go on you gmail and change settings to be sure messages from [email protected] pops up clearly and you can read I contacted all the contributors to ask them to join the list and now I am asking everyone to show you are reading the messages . So please let's start the process of building the source release and lets do it introduciont yourself and the skills you have and we can use. This is the list of what we need: - shell, python and jascript programming for the task - go programming for the cli engine - kubernetes and python programmig for the operator - bascially all the the languages for the runtimes - also the visual studio code exntsion needs maintenace Do you copy? Can you help ? Where? Please reply.
