One new idea was raised that needs more visibility: Attic red-banner on retired projects' website gives great community visibility after a move to the Attic but it's too late. It would be useful to provide such banner *before* the move, when project is looking for more community involvement to avoid going to the Attic. We still need to detail how this service would be proposed to TLP projects: if any project is interested, please ping us.

## Description: The mission of Attic is the creation and maintenance of a home for dormant projects. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention at this time: we're back on track. ## Membership Data: Apache Attic was founded 2008-11-19 (12 years ago) There are currently 19 committers and 17 PMC members in this project.

Last addition was Herve Boutemy on 2016-01-27. ## Project Activity: There was no new retirement for 2021 Q1. We worked on finishing the retirement process for projects moved to the Attic in 2019 and 2020, a big backlog from 2 years. When checking done vs todo in detail for every project, most of the user-visible steps had been done on time immediately when retirement started (ie adding the "retired" banner to the site, updating committee-info.txt, foundation site, ...): the only missing step was to officially announce retirement on announce mailing-list. Then we did a batch of announces to close the whole backlog. There is a technical discussion happening with infra on how to manage Git repositories of projects moved to the Attic on GitHub and GitBox: - rename to attic-*.git (to mark Attic-PMC management) - or keep as-is (to let community find resources at the usual place)? More than a pure technical discussion, it's about user experience from communities of a retired project. Some work just started on writing or linking to an article on "How to keep your project and community healthy"/"How to avoid moving to the Attic". ## Community Health: Retirement work is mostly done by 1 PMC member (who wrote a maximum automation), and announces are done by PMC Chair. Other PMC members are active in the discussions. On next retirements, we'll need to check that retirement process (as documented and automated) can be understood and run by multiple PMC members, to ensure our current good situation is sustainable over time and people.

## Description: PMC Attic is responsible for the oversight of projects which otherwise would not have oversight. ## Issues: Current PMC Chair did not find time to work on Attic and does not expect to be able to clear up sufficient time to make progress in the next quarter. We'll change PMC Chair during the next month. ## Membership Data: Apache Attic was founded 2008-11-19 (12 years ago) There are currently 21 committers and 18 PMC members in this project.

Last addition was Herve Boutemy on 2016-01-27. ## Project Activity: There are currently 20 projects being moved to the Attic: 5 added during 2020 Q4, 0 finished during this period http://attic.apache.org/tracking.html ## Community Health: We have a backlog that represents 1 year of projects added, some work done to do the move (with many automated tasks thanks to Sebb), but never until the last step is done and move marked fully done. There is no precise blocker, it's just about finishing the job. We'll work on finishing some Attic moves, so we see progress over next months.

## Description: The mission of Attic is to be Apache's home for dormant projects. ## Issues: Activity has been very low recently which has led to a backlog. With 5 projects retired so far in 2020 (more than all year in both 2018 and 2019), it will take some time to work catch up. ## Membership Data: Apache Attic was founded 2008-11-19 (11 years ago) There are currently 21 committers and 18 PMC members in this project. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Herve Boutemy on 2015-07-19. - No new committers. Last addition was Herve Boutemy on 2016-01-27. ## Project Activity: Sebb has improved the process for DOAP file updates. Hervé has created http://attic.apache.org/tracking.html to improve the tracking of project progress. Hervé has closed out old projects and is very close to clearing the last of 2019. ## Community Health: Attic is not a traditional pmc and doesn't produce code like almost every other pmc. Hence traditional metrics are not a good measure. The best view will be http://attic.apache.org/tracking.html

## Description: PMC Attic is responsible for the oversight of projects which otherwise would not have oversight. ## Issues: FYI ; After the transfer of XMLbeans from Attic to Poi, board asked Attic to document the "un-Attic" policy. On a attic.a.o, under "Process of leaving the Attic again", we have added this : + * [option 4] Transfering to an existing PMC + A receiving PMC must be willing to assume all responsibilities that come + with running a project : maintain code, answer questions, fix bugs, + publish releases etc. + If the Board does not object, PMC Attic will transfer the project's assets + (code-base, TLP website, maven group-id etc) to the receiving PMC. + After the transfer the receiving PMC will report to the Board about the + project's activities, and publish project releases in the PMC's dist area. One point remains ; Attic would like the board's advice on the following. The Board of Directors Meeting Minutes July 17, 2013, section 7.E says : [https://www.apache.org/foundation/records/minutes/2013/board_minutes_2013_07_17.txt] ... RESOLVED, that the Attic PMC be and hereby is tasked with oversight over the software developed by the Apache XMLBeans Project; and be it further ... As far as Attic knows, Attic is still formally tasked with this oversight. This is not correct, because the XMLBeans software is now under the care of PMC Poi. Attic wants to know how this inaccuracy can be formally remedied. ## Activity: Attic retired project Lucy. ## PMC changes: - Currently 20 PMC members. - Jan Iversen left the PMC on Wed May 19 2018 - Last to join the current PMC : Hervé Boutemy, July 2015 ## Committer base changes: - Currently 25 committers. - No new committers added in the last 3 months - Last committer addition was Jan Iversen at Thu Mar 16 2017 - Jan Iversen left the project on Wed May 19 2018 ## Releases: - No release can be made in attic
@Roman: Help the Attic resolve action plan for XMLBeans that was under the care of the Attic but is now being managed by the Poi PMC. If necessary, draft new Attic resolution for XMLBeans for next month.
## Description: PMC Attic is responsible for the oversight of projects which otherwise would not have oversight. ## Issues: No public issues ## Activity: In may 2018, PMC Poi showed an interest in reviving the code of (atticked) project XMLBeans. This triggered a long, confused, complicated discussion involving PMC's Attic and Poi, and (finally) Board. The whole thing started with the (premature, unauthorised) unfreezing of the (canonical) XMLBeans code base by infra, on PMC Poi's request. Sofar, no project has ever moved from the Attic to an existing, established PMC, so there was no cookbook. For guidance, Attic is inclined to take a formal approach : to look at ASF bylaws and offical policies. Note that atticking a project involves a lot of dumb handwork, which Attic wants to avoid and automate ; hence the formal approach. The Attic-internal discussion was confusing because in speech and (formal) documents, terms like PMC, Project, sub-project and TLP are almost used interchangably. In discussions with Poi, Board and infra, Attic's formal approach was generally met with a "get out of the way", "JFDI" attitude. Quick and dirty, ad-hoc solutions are ok ; introducing exceptions isn't a "problem". In the end, 4 items were identified where "re-use Xmlbeans" or "create in Poi" [go POI] was possible: https://mail-search.apache.org/members/private-arch/attic-private/201806.mbox/%3C1901870.K1nLqlVQl1%40giga%3E -- source code: unfreeze of fork -- dist area : /dist/xmlbeans/ or /dist/poi/xmlbeans/ -- groupId : org.apache.xmlbeans or org.apache.poi -- web site : xmlbeans.a.o or poi.a.o/xmlbeans/ Directors' responses varied from JFDI, to "let POI decide", to "go POI". By then, there was frustration and irritation, so the discussion was actively stopped ; Attic just unatticked XMLbeans. At the moment : -- Poi uses the original xmlbeans code base [re-use] -- Poi publishes releases in /dist/poi/xmlbeans/ [go POI] -- Poi uses the xmlbeans groupId [re-use] -- Poi maintains xmlbeans.a.o [re-use] For the future : -- Attic will use this result as a new option for "Process of leaving the Attic again". -- A PMC that wants to take over an atticked project must ask the board's approval first. ## PMC changes: - Currently 20 PMC members. - Jan Iversen left the PMC on Wed May 19 2018 - Last to join the current PMC : Hervé Boutemy, July 2015 ## Committer base changes: - Currently 25 committers. - No new committers added in the last 3 months - Last committer addition was Jan Iversen at Thu Mar 16 2017 - Jan Iversen left the project on Wed May 19 2018 ## Releases: - No release can be made in attic

Etch is still in the process of moving to the Attic.
Repeating from last report; activity is low. The Attic could use some energy
towards generating advice on how to keep out of the Attic, some more energy
on the mundane clean up work, and energy on encouraging energy.
That said, bar Etch there's not much short term to do.

- Onami, Rave and Wookie were all moved to the Attic in this quarter,
along with some website fixes. There are no open issues to retire
projects currently.
## Health report:
- We're retiring what needs retiring with little on the backlog. The

## Description:
- The Attic is where projects slumber when their communities fade away.
## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
- One project move to the Attic was completed (Shindig). Deltacloud remains
mostly done with Git aspects needing completing. Ryan Baxter's help
moving Shindig to the Attic was very much appreciated.
## Health report:
- Not perfect - i.e. the Deltacloud retirement remained incomplete. Otherwise
quiet with not a lot pressing to do this quarter, as shown by the lower
mailing list activity.

## Description:
- The Attic is where projects slumber when their communities fade away.
## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
- Three project moves to the Attic were completed (Whirr, DirectMemory
and Click), and Deltacloud is mostly done (first Git based project
to enter the Attic). Sebb has done sterling work rescuing the lost
Jakarta websites from the Internet Archive.
## Health report:
- We're reacting well to projects moving to the Attic, and it's good to
see Hervé and Sebb's activity. There's always a project with just a
little to complete (Deltacloud this time), so we could do that little bit
better.

## JIRA activity:
- 6 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months
- 6 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months
## Description:
- The Attic is where projects slumber when their communities fade away.
## Activity:
Activity has been low. While little new has been added this quarter
(Lenya retirement), there are still items on the task list from Q1 or
earlier.
- Lenya is now in the process of being moved into the Attic.
- Whirr is still in the process of being moved into the Attic.
- Five retired Jakarta websites need regenerating.
- Retirement of 3 Web Services projects needs closing out.
## Issues:
- Lack of activity is the primary issue. A request was made to members@
for assistance with Lenya which resulted positively, but hasn't happened
for Lenya yet. Hervé has asked for access to fix up Attic project DOAP
files (the PMC has voted to invite him to join).
- A secondary issue is whether the Attic needs to setup anything to avoid
similar situations to the loss of the Jakarta websites (both in terms of
noticing the loss and making replacement simple).

- Sebb identified that various old Jakarta websites went offline and
Infra are looking into this: INFRA-9251
- It was reported that the Excalibur API docs have also gotten lost.
- Retirement of 3 Web Services projects needs closing out.

No activity in the last quarter, within the Attic or for the Attic. One issue is open in Jira that needs closing out (retired note needs adding to some WS projects).
A quiet quarter - one ticket on helping the WS/Axis TLP retire three of their subprojects is all the activity that has been required of the Attic. Henk Penning joined the Attic PMC in July 2014.
Since our last report (two months ago) our process for moving projects into the Attic has been streamlined and ESME, XMLBeans, stdcxx, and Click have all finished the process of moving into the Attic. Currently there are no pending tasks for the Attic community to work on. Henk Penning has joined the Attic PMC.
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors heretofore appointed Gianugo Rabellino to the office of Vice President, Apache Attic, and WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is in receipt of the resignation of Gianugo Rabellino from the office of Vice President, Apache Attic, and WHEREAS, the Project Management Committee of the Apache Attic project has chosen by vote to recommend Henri Yandell as the successor to the post; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that Gianugo Rabellino is relieved and discharged from the duties and responsibilities of the office of Vice President, Apache Attic, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Henri Yandell be and hereby is appointed to the office of Vice President, Apache Attic, to serve in accordance with and subject to the direction of the Board of Directors and the Bylaws of the Foundation until death, resignation, retirement, removal or disqualification, or until a successor is appointed. Special Order 7E, Change the Apache Attic Project Chair, was approved by Unanimous Vote of the directors present.
There has been an increase in activity at the Attic with WS-MUSE being retired, and ESME, XMLBeans and stdcxx all being partially moved to the Attic. Retiring the XML project has been identified as still having items to complete. The process of moving projects to the Attic has been simplified by splitting into two stages - retiring the project publicly, and freeing up infrastructure resources. My hope is that this will decouple the essential parts of moving to the Attic from the clean up. In moving XMLBeans to the Attic, we've noticed that one commit has occurred after the board removed the PMC in July. This commit does not appear to be of concern[1] and SVN has now been made read only for XMLBeans. The project has put a resolution in front of the board to change the chair.

AI: Ross: what can be done to improve the Attic situation?
Apologies for a late (well, missing) report. We will of course volunteer a new one next month. FYI, though, there have been no changes and no activity on the Attic since the last report, other than a ping from Chris. Silver lining: Henri seems to have some bandwidth again. :)
The Attic is currently experiencing a lack of volunteer time. We have two projects in the pipeline (stdcxx and ESME) who’s archival process looks stuck – and actually even never started for stdcxx. I guess it’s time for the Attic PMC to do an open enrollment and see if we can secure more helping hands. On a somewhat unrelated note, I think the board should actively be aware of the following tidbits, which don’t apply directly to the Attic but may well have impact one way or another: 1. Two projects (XMLBeans and DDLUtils) have theoretically moved to the Attic. However, both archival processes have been stopped as the community decided to try and revive them. Work hasn't been started on the Attic side, waiting to see what happens. XML beans is currently beginning an incubation process. 2. Axis is expected to start moving inactive projects to the Attic. No concrete follow-up yet as of today and we hope that when they do, they come with volunteers ready to help out. 3. A long thread on dev@click.a.o and board@ happened in September, moving quickly from retirement of Click into a general discussion on creating a new category of "finished" projects with no real community but still not attic-worthy. I assume there is no action for the Attic at this point in time, but the thread may well be revived in the near future.
AI Chris: When was the last PMC member added?
No report was submitted.
AI: Greg follow up with Gianugo
No issues requiring board attention at this time. Quiet time in the mailing lists, however since the last report Apache ESME and Apache DDLUtils are in the process of moving to the Attic.
No issues requiring board attention. No activity in the past two months in the Attic project, although mailing lists have been responsive. Looking forward to more projects seeking Attic support.
Apologies for missing the report last month. At this point there are no issues requiring board attention in the Attic project. Things are quiet, the pipeline is empty but the low to nonexistent mailing lists traffic is being monitored. Other than one small ongoing task on closing the XML project, we are waiting for things to do!
No report was submitted.
No issues requiring board attention since the last report. Harmony has now fully migrated to the Attic, XIndice is on its way. We still need to start working on bringing the XML project as a whole to the Attic.
(Attic)
Apologies for missing the report for two months in a row. As the late reports indicate, the Attic is currently operating at a reduced pace and could really use more people helping out. It's not like there is lots of work to do, but it seems volunteers are just not there (nor we are seeing projects heading our way). The latest two Attic additions (XIndice and Harmony) are still open in Jira, though the bulk of work has been done and from a public perspective the projects are archived. I hope I will have some cycles in the upcoming weeks to tidy things up, but the community issue still stands and we could use some help.
Harmony JIRA was recently marked read-only as part of some general JIRA cleanup.
No report was submitted.
No report was submitted.
No issues requiring board attention at this time. Since the past board report, Harmony moved to the attic and process is ongoing.
Since the last board report retirement of Cactus and Regexp has completed. XIndice moved to the Attic, work is ongoing to shelve the project. No issues requiring board attention at this time.
We completed the move of OJB to the Attic and Regexp is nearly there as well. No other projects in the pipeline at this time and no issues requiring board attention.
Short 'n sweet: no issues requiring board attention at this time. Excalibur was moved to the Attic, and we are currently in wait mode for more projects.
Since the last board report, ORO, ECS and Slide are now retired. Excalibur is in the works. No changes to the PMC. No issues requiring board attention.
- Good news: a bunch of projects moved to the Attic: Jakarta's ECS/ORO/Slide, and XML's Crimson. - after an initial standstill, migration of the above is chugging along. - no issues requiring board attention at this time

No issues for the board. * iBATIS has moved to the attic with a few outstanding tasks [ATTIC-66]. * Quetzalcoatl has moved over to the Attic with a few outstanding tasks [ATTIC-67]. Nothing else is in the pipeline, though Crimson (XML), ECS (Jakarta), ORO (Jakarta) and Regexp (Jakarta) are possibles. I (Henri) have asked for volunteers to replace me as the VP. Gianugo has volunteered and we may have a resolution in in time for the board meeting.
No issues for the board. * Jakarta Taglibs moved to the Attic. * Jakarta Slide needs moving. * Nothing else in the pipeline.
Jim notes that there may be things in the pipeline shortly.
Jim to contact Henri
No issues for the board. * Beehive has been Attic'd * Xang has moved into the Attic from the xml.apache.org project * Crimson still expected at some point (pending XML PMC).
In August AxKit moved into the Attic. Greg Reddin took care of things and it appeared to go very smoothly. The XML project have very recently voted for Xang to move to the Attic, and we understand that Crimson (XML parser before Xerces) may follow.
No report provided.
Nothing to report this month. We don't know of any projects currently looking to move to the Attic. As things have quietened down, and we have a repeatable process for the next entry into the Attic, we'd like to move to quarterly reports.
General agreement that this report should become quarterly.
This month Apache Shale entered the Attic, pending INFRA-2072. The process for entering the Attic has been defined: http://attic.apache.org/process.html We are not aware of any projects entering the Attic next month.
Aaron to add link to mail-archives.apache.org.
This month HiveMind moved to the Attic. The one outstanding action is removal of its unix group, but otherwise it is closed down with a task for the future to evaluate deleting the hivemind-user@ mailing list. Users have indicated the desire to fork HiveMind at the OPS4J open development umbrella. One question that came up during that discussion was noting that the HiveMind software used the older copyright header (in the header rather than the NOTICE), and our decision not to fix that. A JIRA item was used to manage the end of life process [ATTIC-1]. All of this will be documented this month to define a repeatable process, and applied to Shale which voted to enter the Attic last month [this will be on this month's board meeting agenda].
Henri noted that the Unix group is now deleted.
No activity this month. Current action item is to followup on the HiveMind project now being in the Attic by making that apparent to the users.
There was a short discussion about the Attic reporting frequency. For the next few months, Attic is on a monthly reporting schedule, as proposed by Henri.
The HiveMind PMC have voted to move to the Attic. The Attic PMC will be working with the board to effect resolutions such that oversight over HiveMind is passed over to the Attic PMC. Focus next month will be on making the change such that HiveMind is now recognizably in the Attic.
Not much activity this month. A mail was sent to private@hivemind + private@attic following the HiveMind chair - James Carman's interest in the attic to point out the two directions of either moving into the attic, or being restarted in the Incubator. James was interested in the Incubator direction (to which the need for mentors + champions was pointed out) and Howard as in favour of the attic. I've also been asking on members@ as to Apache's trademark position, partly to understand what the fork of HiveMind would look like.
We discussed the issue of being willing to turn over trademarks for future development while wanting to retain ability to use the trademark for prior releases. Discussion will continue on members@.
Apache Attic's site has been launched at http://attic.apache.org/ and hooked to the ASF website, and an announcement email has been sent out to all pmcs. We're ready for our first zombie.
We discussed the HiveMind, JServe, some retired projects in Jakarta, Excalibur, and Shale as projects to explore as potential candidates.
Henri provided a verbal report.
Things have got started with Apache Attic - the email and website space have been setup. People are subscribing to the general mailing list and initial discussions started around what to put on the website have begun.
