AriaTosca's Project Management Committee (PMC) has voted unanimously to
retire it as an incubation project under the Apache Software Foundation,
after six months with no development and all committers having moved on.

The source code is still available under the Apache 2.0 license for those
who wish to fork and continue development. The copyright is owned by the
Apache Software Foundation.

I see ONAP as having two options moving forward. The first is to deprecate
the use of ARIA and make plans for its replacement. The second is to fork
it into ONAP and devote resources to fixing its bugs and continuing its
development. There are still missing features and gaps in its TOSCA
support, and it is locked at TOSCA 1.0.

I would like to personally thank Cloudify for funding AriaTosca. It was a
significant contribution to the TOSCA ecosystem and was useful for both
OPEN-O and ONAP. Unfortunately, this use did not lead to developer
attention from those communities, which was necessary for the project to
graduate from incubation while ensuring its ongoing health.

Many thanks also to the Apache Software Foundation for accepting the
project for incubation, for their mentorship, and for their assistance. As
it goes, many projects do not graduate from incubation. Nevertheless, the
knowledge and experience live on for those who worked on the project.

I continue to believe TOSCA is strongly positioned as a powerful language
for modeling cloud topologies (at the same as I believe that its normative
types are a dead end for cloud orchestration). Thus, my private development
efforts will be focused on making Puccini
<https://github.com/tliron/puccini> a powerful TOSCA compiler, specifically
one that can be easily plugged into any orchestrator.
