Eclipse DataEggs Termination

Termination review record: https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.dataeggs/reviews/termination-review

The Project Lead of the Eclipse DataEggs project is requesting to terminate the Eclipse DataEggs [1, 3] project.

Here is some context information:

  • DataEggs relies on a tool (Alambic [2]) that will not be maintained anymore.
  • DataEggs relies on an external service (the server running Alambic) that has been decommissioned. Setting it up on another node proved to be.. very difficult.
  • The PL does not have the time to update the whole toolchain, and there is no other party interested in doing so either.
  • Although people initially seemed to see value in DataEggs, the project has not been widely used -- to his knowledge at least.

What we need to do:

  • Inform PMC
  • Inform the Eclipse DataEggs community through the public ML
  • Archive the project (PMI and DB)
  • Retire PL and mentor relationships (DB)

To be completed by Webmaster

Shutdown/archive:

  • Website
  • Git repositories
  • Mailing list
  • Forum
  • Bugzilla product

Your comments, feedback, and pushback are welcome.
