Re: Retiring the project
Hi, > That document is for podlings — not for TLPs. Thanks for the hint, maybe this is the right resource, not sure: https://attic.apache.org/ I found this from the Apache PMC overview, see [1]: "In summary, the only reason for a project to move to the Attic is lack of oversight due to an insufficient number of active PMC members. Note that going to the Attic is not necessarily a bad thing: it's merely a reflection that there isn't currently an active community to manage the project. It's also a clear way to set the right expectations for users of the project's code." However, it looks like the project is still more relevant than it seems and as Harbs said, if we are still enough PMCs, we could leave everything as it is. So, can we really guarantee to have at least 3 active PMC members? Please reply if you're still commited to be an active Flex PMC member! I didn't write any Flex/AS3 code for more than 2 or 3 years so please do not rely on me for another couple of years ;-) As long as we're still enough PMCs I think everything is fine. We should add a note to the board report that the project is silent but enough PMCs take care of if.

Retiring the project
Hi guys, we should thinking about retiring the project. This seems to be the guideline to retire a project at Apache [1] It looks like we need a community vote and some volunteers who helps with the process of retiring a project. What do you think? Thanks, Olaf [1] https://incubator.apache.org/guides/retirement.html
Board report for June 2022 has been submitted
## Description: The mission of the Apache Flex project is to create and maintain software related to the development of expressive web applications that deploy to all major browsers, desktops and devices (including smartphones, tablets and tv) ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: Apache Flex was founded 2012-12-19 (9 years ago) There are currently 68 committers and 45 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:2. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Olaf Krüger on 2017-08-28. - No new committers. Last addition was Greg Dove on 2016-09-07. ## Project Activity: No changes have been made to the Flex framework for a long time and it is unlikely that another release will appear.

Board report for December 2021 has been submitted
Hi guys, since there's nothing new to report and in order to ease things I directly submitted the due December board report without letting you proofread it... hope that's ok for you! The report is available at our wiki [1] I think we'll need to think about archiving the project in 2022? Thanks, Olaf [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLEX/December+2021
