Hello Everybody,
Tsunami is a set of core libraries, applications, and tools that
were used at
sociomantic labs/dunnhumby Germany, and have been available as
open-source
software since 2017 under the direction and management of
dunnhumby.
Over the past few months, we've been quietly negotiating an exit
strategy for
handing over control of the GitHub organization from dunnhumby to
the dlang
community. I'm happy to announce that this has now been
concluded, and we are
now ready to move the development of all repositories in Tsunami
from
completely public, to being completely open.
A new steering committee has been set up, and we are in the
process of making
new milestone releases before introducing breaking changes that
were previously
holding back the better integrating of the libraries with the D2
ecosystem.
I would like to thank dunnhumby for being supportive throughout
the entire
process, and for handling the transition in a gracious fashion
since operations
began winding down.
As dunnhumby has now moved on from working with all software in
Tsunami, we
therefore also want to make it known that we are looking for new
maintainers to
take over any projects that are hosted within the Tsunami
organization.
We would welcome others joining us in maintaining and further
developing these
projects, so if anyone is interested, please get in touch.

Here's the highlights of all D projects in Tsunami:
1. ocean: A general purpose, platform dependant, high-performance
library for
D with a focus on supporting real-time applications.
(https://github.com/sociomantic-tsunami/ocean)
2. turtle: A utility library for implementing black-box
application tests:
spawns the tested application as a separate process in a
temporary sandbox,
then runs a set of auto-discovered test cases.
(https://github.com/sociomantic-tsunami/turtle)
3. swarm: The core client/server library which forms the
foundation of
various distributed storage systems in Tsunami.
(https://github.com/sociomantic-tsunami/swarm)
4. dhtproto: Based on swarm, defines the protocol for a
Distributed Hash Table
database -- an in-memory database for quick-access, binary
data.
The repo also contains the DHT client and a set of tests
(based on turtle)
for a DHT server implementation.
(https://github.com/sociomantic-tsunami/dhtproto)
5. dhtnode: Based on dhtproto, this is the implementation of a
DHT server.
(https://github.com/sociomantic-tsunami/dhtnode)
6. dlsproto: Based on swarm, defines the protocol for a
Distributed Log Store
database -- a disk-based database for batch-read, historical
data.
The repo also contains the DLS client and a set of tests
(based on turtle)
for a DLS server implementation.
(https://github.com/sociomantic-tsunami/dlsproto)
7. dlsnode: Based on dlsproto, this is the implementation of a
DLS server.
(https://github.com/sociomantic-tsunami/dlsnode)
8. dmqproto: Based on swarm, defines the protocol for a
Distributed Message
Queue -- an in-memory messaging queue for publish-subscribe
communication.
The repo also contains a DMQ client and a set of tests (based
on turtle)
for a DMQ server implementation.
(https://github.com/sociomantic-tsunami/dmqproto)
9. dmqnode: Based on dmqproto, this is the implementation of a
DMQ server.
(https://github.com/sociomantic-tsunami/dmqnode).
10. neptune: A set of guidelines and tools to help developers and
maintainers
to implement a versioning scheme base on SemVer as effortless
as possible.
