It is time to release and apply for graduation!

Hello everyone, call to action and also call to show you are here and you
are following the discussion.

Our mentors are concerned there is no activity on the maling list and no
attempts has been made to do a release.

The project is actually very active, we have important adopters like big
cloud providers, defense contractors and government agencites, and
countless private companies. And there has been commits as you can see here

https://github.com/apache/openserverless-task/graphs/commit-activity

There are also contributors from different sources. But we have neglected 3
important standards for the apache: using the maling list.  doing a source
release and also respond to security advisories.

To be honest those advisories where something I was not aware of, but they
are important.

The truth is: we communicate in multiple channels, whatapp discord slack
linkedin google meet but we do not use the maling list simple
because almost all of us are not used to do that.

And we did not do a source release because the way we distribute the
software works for us, with a cli downloaded that pulls the. tasks and the
images on demand from github and docker hub.

But since we want to be an apache project this have to change.

So now it is time to do a source release and we have to do that using the
maling list.

To coordinate the release we need a strong technical directions. There has
been volunteer but unfortunely they did not make progresses in the attept.

The only people who cnl realistically coordinate the release are me,
Francesco or Bruno. And both Francesco and Bruno are busy for personal
reasons, although they are willing to help. I was very busy as the CEO of
Nuvolaris so to do the coordination by myself was not an option, until now.

But this now changed: I handed over the role of CEO precisely because I
want to focus more on technicalities and now I am going to use the free
time to coordinatethe release.

And I will do it USING ONLY THE MALING LIST.

Let me say it again: no whatapp. no discord. no slack. no google meet. Only
this maling list.  And expect a lot of messages.

So please go on you gmail and change settings to be sure messages from
dev@openserverless.apache.org pops up clearly and you can read

I contacted all the contributors to ask them to join the list and now I am
asking everyone to show you are reading the messages .

So please let's start the process of building the source release and lets
do it introduciont yourself and the skills you have and we can use.

This is the list of what we need:

- shell, python and jascript programming for the task
- go programming for the cli engine
- kubernetes and python programmig for the operator
- bascially all the the languages for the runtimes
- also the visual studio code exntsion needs maintenace

Do you copy? Can you help ? Where?
Please reply.
Thanks.

Hello everyone, call to action and also call to show you are here and you

are following the discussion.



Our mentors are concerned there is no activity on the maling list and no

attempts has been made to do a release.



The project is actually very active, we have important adopters like big

cloud providers, defense contractors and government agencites, and

countless private companies. And there has been commits as you can see here



https://github.com/apache/openserverless-task/graphs/commit-activity 



There are also contributors from different sources. But we have neglected 3

important standards for the apache: using the maling list.  doing a source

release and also respond to security advisories.



To be honest those advisories where something I was not aware of, but they

are important.



The truth is: we communicate in multiple channels, whatapp discord slack

linkedin google meet but we do not use the maling list simple

because almost all of us are not used to do that.



And we did not do a source release because the way we distribute the

software works for us, with a cli downloaded that pulls the. tasks and the

images on demand from github and docker hub.



But since we want to be an apache project this have to change.



So now it is time to do a source release and we have to do that using the

maling list.



To coordinate the release we need a strong technical directions. There has

been volunteer but unfortunely they did not make progresses in the attept.



The only people who cnl realistically coordinate the release are me,

Francesco or Bruno. And both Francesco and Bruno are busy for personal

reasons, although they are willing to help. I was very busy as the CEO of

Nuvolaris so to do the coordination by myself was not an option, until now.



But this now changed: I handed over the role of CEO precisely because I

want to focus more on technicalities and now I am going to use the free

time to coordinatethe release.



And I will do it USING ONLY THE MALING LIST.



Let me say it again: no whatapp. no discord. no slack. no google meet. Only

this maling list.  And expect a lot of messages.



So please go on you gmail and change settings to be sure messages from

mailto:dev@openserverless.apache.org  pops up clearly and you can read



I contacted all the contributors to ask them to join the list and now I am

asking everyone to show you are reading the messages .



So please let's start the process of building the source release and lets

do it introduciont yourself and the skills you have and we can use.



This is the list of what we need:



- shell, python and jascript programming for the task

- go programming for the cli engine

- kubernetes and python programmig for the operator

- bascially all the the languages for the runtimes

- also the visual studio code exntsion needs maintenace



Do you copy? Can you help ? Where?

Please reply.
