[VOTE] Retire Gearpump

[Manu Zhang]

Hi all,

As per previous discussion
,
we agree that it would be better for Gearpump to retire from the ASF
incubator. Here comes the formal vote.

[ ] +1 to retire
[ ] -1 not to retire because...

Here's my +1.

This will be open for at least 72 hours and is a majority vote.

Thanks,
Manu Zhang

Re: [DISCUSS] Retire Gearpump

[Karol Brejna]

Manu,

Thanks for bringing this difficult topic.

I was struggling with it myself.

Here are my thoughts:

Our main objectives were to build the community and gain more adoption.

Although there was some considerable interest, I think we were not able to
build a stable and sizable community around our project.

We have identified some "technical" goals to achieve as the next steps.
Without a broader community, I think we won't be able to keep a decent
development activity and release pace.

It doesn't look that the situation (community) would change any time soon,
so - with a heavy heart - I must agree that it would be only fair to the
Apache community to retire Gearpump.

I am hoping we'll continue working on Gearpump in some other "formula" in
the future, as it has some strengths and is cool to use and develop ;-)

Regards,
Karol
