With 4 IPMC binding votes, and 2 objections, the retirement vote for Taverna has passed. Vote thread: <https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r559e0dd047103414fbf48a6ce1bac2e17e67504c546300f2751c067c%40%3Cdev.taverna.apache.org%3E> Thank you to all that voted. I would like to give a large Thank You to Apache Software Foundation, IPMC, mentors and volunteers for the patience of letting us have a go at incubating. I think we have learnt a lot. For retiring we can request moving the Taverna git repositories to the GitHub organization <https://github.com/taverna> where the license remains Apache License 2.0, so development can continue at any pace (or none). Taverna PPMC folks and other interested; if you have not yet received an invite, feel free to reply personally with your GitHub username I can add you there as a "Caretaker". After de-branding ("Apache Taverna" -> "Taverna") we can also try to move the website and documentation to GitHub Pages, hopefully ASF will afford us a HTTP redirect. -- Stian Soiland-Reyes https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9842-9718 On Mon, 3 Feb 2020 14:07:50 +0000, Stian Soiland-Reyes <st...@apache.org> wrote: > Hi, > > I think we have to be honest with ourselves. > > While we had a good go at Taverna in the Apache Incubator, and lots of > great effort over the years, we seem to have ground to a standstill. > > It looks now almost impossible that we will graduate from the incubator > and continue to thrive as a top-level Apache project. > > I am as guilty as everyone - emails missed, builds not updated, releases > not completed.
