The project is in maintenance/patch mode as the main drivers (DAWN and GDA) will gradually get replaced in the next few years.
Of the other projects, Scanning went internal and RichBeans has stopped development (though consumed as a bundled).
Best regards,
Peter

You don't often get email from jayjaybillings@xxxxxxxxx. Learn why this is important
Peter,
Hello! I hope you're well. I'm reaching out about Eclipse January.
I saw some activity in April, but how is the project doing otherwise? If it is still active, we should do a progress review for it and consider it for graduation under the EDP. If not, I believe we should discuss its future and consider "terminating" it from Eclipse Science.
Please let me (us) know your thoughts.
Thank you,
Jay

Dear EMO,
Thanks for looking into this. I have no additional information to provide, and these teams have not interacted with our PMC in a long time.
I would like to nominate XACC for termination (https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/science.xacc). Three reasons:
1. Neither Greg Watson nor I are active committers, and it does not have a project lead.
2. There has been no activity in its GitHub repo since July 2023. https://github.com/eclipse-xacc/xacc/graphs/contributors?all=1
3. We, the PMC, have not heard from anyone working on or using this project in years.
I will reach out to Peter Chang about Eclipse January. Although there was some activity in April, there has been no engagement with the PMC and, as far as I know, no activity in line with the EDP.
Thank you!
Jay

Dear PMC and project teams,
Based on the project activity, last commit and releases, the EMO has identified the following project(s) as candidate(s) for termination:
- Eclipse Rich Beans: https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/emo-team/emo/-/work_items/1334
- Eclipse Scanning: https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/emo-team/emo/-/work_items/1333
Any additional information you are able to provide regarding the status of the project will be highly appreciated. Otherwise, we'll proceed with the termination review in the upcoming weeks.
Kind regards,
