Geode community,

I want to inform you of some upcoming changes and opportunities. If you have been thinking about contributing to the Geode project, this is a great time to jump in and get started.

Many of us in the Geode community are employed by VMware. While each of us participates and earns merit as individuals (following the Apache Way), VMware has decided to focus its efforts on the commercial GemFire product. Practically speaking, this means that many of the most active members of the Geode community will be much less involved going forward.

As with any change, this leads to new opportunities. Here are some ways you can contribute:

	• Contributing and reviewing code, documentation, or examples
	• Learning, improving, and operating CI pipelines
	• Participating as a Release Manager for v1.15.1
	• Becoming a Committer or PMC member based on project contributions
	• Publishing educational content such as blogs, videos, or conference talks
	• Answering questions on the dev list and internet forums like StackOverflow
	• Updating the WIKI or JIRA 

Note that Apache considers contributions in ALL forms as earning merit as a committer. You don’t need to be an expert on Partitioned Region replication code to become a committer. 

VMware remains a strong proponent of open source software and the Apache Software Foundation. VMware is committed to actively supporting an orderly and responsible transition to enable other members of the community to take the project forward. 

I know many of you have contributed greatly from the early days of incubation, through graduation, and all the releases up until now. I want to personally thank you for those efforts whether in documentation, bug reports, websites, discussions, feature proposals, or code submissions.

Please let me know your thoughts on this change and any ideas you have. If you would like to contribute, please shout out and ask questions! There are many people ready to provide mentoring and answer questions.

Thanks,
