Re: [geowave-dev] [locationtech-pmc] LocationTech GeoWave Status Update

Thanks, Johnathan. I share your concern.

GeoWave has not had a significant upstream release in several years, and restarting the release process would likely require some effort. However, it remains actively used, and more specific development has continued around this generic capability. Often it's been pragmatic to develop specific operational needs rather than generalizing for the broader library, but it nevertheless demonstrates that the codebase is still relevant and continuing to evolve.

Given that, I believe a termination review may be premature. Before proceeding, could the EMO or PMC clarify whether termination would prevent the community from later maintaining and publishing GeoWave releases from another public repository, particularly given the GeoWave name and associated Eclipse Foundation IP?

If termination would create such a barrier, then maintaining the project’s active status seems appropriate.

Hello,
I just wanted to offer my two cents here.  GeoWave is actively used and is critical to operations for organizations that I support and also other organizations that I know of. I know it’s not being actively updated at the moment but from what I understand, that’s due to feature/resource prioritization as opposed to being a dead project.

Thanks,

Hi again, 

I apologize; I didn't express myself clearly in my previous message.

GeoWave has been a spectacular tool, but since it appears not to have been maintained for several years, I believe it should be included in the termination review and the actions resulting from that decision—not simply deleted. The tool and the efforts of the development team deserve a round of applause and immense gratitude from the community.

Thanks and regards.

Regards
Alvaro

Hi Carmen, thanks for this notification.
Yes, you are right, this project is not maintained from years.


I agree the project is ready for termination review and it should be removed.

Thanks a lot to everyone
Best regards

Álvaro

Dear Project Team and Dev Community, 

Can you confirm the current status of LocationTech GeoWave https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/locationtech.geowave?

Based on the PMI page, the last release was done in 2021, and the last activity was last year. Would you like to run a progress review, or is the project ready for a Termination Review?

Thanks in advance, 

Carmen Delgado
