The Apache Attic was created in
<a href="https://www.apache.org/foundation/records/minutes/2008/board_minutes_2008_11_19.txt">November 2008</a>
to provide process and solutions to make it clear when an Apache project has reached its
end of life. Specifically:
</p>
<blockquote style="font-family: monospace">
the Apache Attic Project [...] is responsible for the oversight of projects which otherwise would not have oversight; <br />
the Apache Attic Project [...] is not authorized to actively develop and release the projects under its oversight
</blockquote>
<p>It is intended to: </p>
<ul>
<li>Be non-impacting to users</li>
<li>Provide restricted oversight for these codebases</li>
<li>Provide oversight for active user lists with no Project Management Committee (PMC)</li>
</ul>
<p>It is not intended to: </p>
<ul>
<li>Rebuild community</li>
<li>Make bugfixes</li>
<li>Make releases</li>
</ul>
</div>
<h4 id="incoming">
Getting into the Attic
</h4>
<div class="section-content">
<p>There are two expected mechanisms by which a project may enter the Attic. Either the managing
Project Management Committee (PMC) decides it would like to move the project, or The
Apache Software Foundation's board dissolves the PMC and chooses to move the project. </p>
<p>First step is to add a suitable resolution to the next board agenda: see the <a href="resolution.html">Template Board Resolution</a>.</p>
<p>Once the submitted resolution has been approved during a board meeting, the Attic project starts executing the move.</p>
</div>
<h4 id="candidates">
When should a project move to the Attic?
</h4>
<div class="section-content">
<p>Projects whose PMC are unable to muster 3 votes for a release, who have no active committers or
are unable to fulfill their reporting duties to the board are all good candidates for the Attic. </p>
</div>
<h4 id="process">
Process of moving into the Attic
</h4>
<div class="section-content">
<p>This is defined in greater details in the separate <a href="process.html">process</a> document. </p>
</div>
<h4 id="departure">
Process of leaving the Attic again
</h4>
<div class="section-content">
<p>Options are: </p>
<ul>
<li>Forking the project outside the Apache Software Foundation - we'll link to any forks which have been
created so please let us know</li>
<li>Restarting the project at the Apache Software Foundation, with multiple ways to do so:
<ul>
<li>Restarting the community in the Apache Incubator</li>
<li>Recreating a PMC for the project</li>
<li>Transfering to an existing PMC</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
A receiving PMC must be willing to assume all responsibilities that come
with running a project: maintain code, answer questions, fix bugs,
publish releases etc.
<br />
If the Board does not object, PMC Attic will transfer the project's
assets (code-base, TLP website, maven group-id etc) to the receiving PMC.
<br />
After the transfer the receiving PMC will report to the Board about the
project's activities, and publish project releases in the PMC's dist area.
</p>
</div>
<h4 id="contact">
Contacting the Attic Project
</h4>
<div class="section-content">
<p>The Attic is a project as any other:</p>
<ul>
<li>It is managed by a <a href="https://projects.apache.org/committee.html?attic">Project Management Committee (PMC)</a>.</li>
<li>Public discussions happen on a mailing list:
see <a href="https://lists.apache.org/list.html?general@attic.apache.org">general@attic.apache.org</a> archive.
You are welcome to subscribe and engage discussion. </li>
</ul>
</div>
<h4 id="incubator">
Retired Incubator Projects
</h4>
<div class="section-content">
<p>The <a href="https://incubator.apache.org/">Apache Incubator project</a> is the entry path into The Apache Software Foundation for projects
and codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts.
Not all projects <a href="https://incubator.apache.org/cookbook/#graduation_vote">'graduate'</a> out of the Incubator; some are retired instead.
Those retired projects remain under Incubator oversight: the list may be found on the Incubator's
<a href="https://incubator.apache.org/projects/index.html#retired">Projects page</a>. </p>
