Re: Apache Bloodhound will be moving to the Attic

[Greg Stein]

There has been near-zero commit activity for many years. The mailing list
is empty. There are a few people "around", but inactive.

Note that a move to the Attic will not cause any problems with the 0.8
release. That will always be available for download. The Attic is simply a
marker that future development will not occur.

Hi Shane,

Could you please elaborate on the material metrics for "real engagement and
energy" that would rescue Bloodhound from the attic? I have been using
version 0.8 for my personal needs since 2015 and the lack of active
contributions on my end is, among other reasons, due to the fact that it
still 'works for me".

Thanks,
Nikolay

Apache Bloodhound will be moving to the Attic

[Shane Curcuru]

While we very much appreciate the several attempts to bring new life 
back to Bloodhound, it feels like it's time to celebrate the project and 
send it off to the Apache Attic.  This is only fair to potential users, 
to let them know we don't have a fully active community here.


UNLESS the Board sees real engagement and energy from at least three 
developers here on Bloodhound in the next couple of weeks, the Board 
will be voting at our September meeting to place Bloodhound into the 
Apache Attic.  All resources will be preserved as-is, but read only.

I know Gary and others have really tried, but for an active Apache 
project we need three regular PMC members to provide oversight.


Thanks for all the work over the years,

Mailing list threading improvements

[Christofer Dutz]

TL;DR: We’re updating how auto-generated email from Github will be
threaded on your mailing lists. If you want to keep the old defaults,
details are below.

We’re pleased to let you know that we’re tweaking the way that auto-
generated email from Github will appear on your mailing lists. This
will lead to more human-readable subject lines, and the ability of most
modern mail clients to correctly thread discussions originating on
Github.

Background: Many project mailing lists receive email auto-generated by
Github. The way that the subject lines are crafted leads to messages
from the same topic not being threaded together by most mail clients.
We’re fixing that.

The way that these messages are threaded is defined by a file -
.asf.yml - in your git repositories. We’re changing the way that it
will work by default if you don’t choose settings. If you’re happy for
us to make this change, don’t do anything - the change will happen on
October the 1st 2023.

Details of the current default, as well as the proposed changes, are on
the following page, along with instructions on how to keep your current
settings, if you prefer:

https://community.apache.org/contributors/mailing-lists.html#configuring-the-subject-lines-of-the-emails-being-sent

Please copy d...@community.apache.org
on any feedback.
