Re: Re: Next steps for Mesos
Hello, Criteo is still an active user of Mesos, running it worldwide for most of its production workloads. We currently run a fork of Mesos 1.9.x (with some patches that were not upstreamed but not that much), and we don't plan to upgrade to the latest version for now. We will continue to propose patches regularly upstream when possible, but can't really commit on actively contributing on particular needs in Mesos ecosystem.

Qian, it might be worth having a more explicit email asking users to chime in as this email was tailored more for contributors. Twitter is still using mesos heavily, we upgraded from a branch based off of 1.2.x to 1.9.x in 2021, but haven't upgraded to 1.11.x yet. We do have a lot of patches carried on our branch that have not been upstreamed. I would like to upstream them to avoid relying on many custom patches and to get closer to HEAD, but it will take time and quite a bit of work, and it's not a priority at the moment. On the contribution side, at this point if I were to continue contributing, it would be on a volunteer basis, and I can't guarantee having enough time to do so.

As you may already be aware, the Mesos community has been inactive for the last few years, there were only 3 contributors last year, that's obviously not enough to keep the project moving forward. I think we need at least 3 active committers/PMC members and some active contributors to keep the project alive, or we may have to move it to attic<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fattic.apache.org%2F&data=05%7C01%7Ct.lange%40criteo.com%7C6e782bd9b402421896d608db2974e0de%7C2a35d8fd574d48e3927c8c398e225a01%7C1%7C0%7C638149354183246959%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=2QLjvfO3KRuvcwcZCEnFFwWGLaBz%2BIY7Yi2K%2Bw1Lm5A%3D&reserved=0>.

Thanks for the update and this good news Vinod! Thomas From: Vinod Kone Sent: Thursday, 15 April 2021 00:49 To: Andreas Peters Cc: dev Subject: [BULK]Re: [VOTE] Move Apache Mesos to Attic To circle back here, the vote to install a new PMC chair has passed and the request for the same is sent to the ASF Board. It will become official once the board meets and passes the resolution. I am expecting this to happen around the end of the month.

Re: Next Steps
Hello, I'm part of Criteo team as well, and as Grégoire said, we plan to support Mesos internally for some time. I would like to propose my help as well as a committer, and contribute as much as I can to this project. Br, Thomas From: Grégoire Seux Sent: Friday, 26 February 2021 11:12 To: priv...@mesos.apache.org ; dev ; user Subject: Re: Next Steps Hello all, here at Criteo, we heavily use Mesos and plan to do so for a foreseeable future alongside other alternatives. I am ok to become committer and help the project if you are looking for contributors. It seems finding committers will be doable but finding a PMC chair will be difficult. To give some context on our usage, Criteo is running 12 Mesos cluster running a light fork of Mesos 1.9.x. Each cluster has 10+ distinct marathons frameworks, a flink framework, an instance of Aurora and an in-house framework. We strongly appreciate the ability to scale the number of nodes (3500 on the largest cluster and growing), the simplicity of the project overall and the extensibility through modules. -- Grégoire
