Fwd: Please do not use the Apache NiFi mailing lists to advertise PyFi

[Darren Govoni <da...@ontrenet.com>]

Sorry folks. The PMC have spoken. For anyone wanting to keep up with this free and generous spiritual offshoot of Nifi will have to follow the git pages.

Darren

On behalf of the Apache NiFi PMC I am writing to advise that we
appreciate your work and efforts related to the PYFI concept but are
concerned about your usage of the Apache NiFi mailing lists.

You've initiated at least 9 e-mail threads in July, August, and
September telling people on NiFi's fairly large users list about PyFi.
It isn't to build/communicate with the Apache NiFi community about
work being done within Apache NiFi.  Rather it is to direct or make
interested folks to come to your Python based rewrite heavily inspired
by NiFi. The last seven threads have zero replies as well and the
content directs people to your github/not proposals for contributions
within the Apache NiFi community. Your readme suggests you might
provide code at a later date and that you're looking for 'sponsors' to
continue the work.  This means the usage of the Apache NiFi mailing
lists at this point is an advertisement for something other than
Apache NiFi.

You are certainly doing interesting work and developing an interesting
tool.  Provided you honor the Apache Software Foundation trademarks
and such and provided you work within the Apache License version 2
you're good there.  The challenge is the use of the Apache NiFi
mailing list to direct people to your project. Please discontinue
doing so.  Should you decide you wish to help build a python based
NiFi implementation within the NiFi community or want to bring some of
the ideas/concepts/implementations into the NiFi community then of
course you're welcome to engage with the lists for such things.

Thanks
Apache NiFi PMC
