Hello Stackers, We intend to retire the Monasca project [1] and all associated repositories [2]. The retirement is being proposed with the support and consent of the current core team members and the Project Team Lead (PTL) [3]. For context, the Monasca project team was marked as being inactive during the 2024.1 (Caracal) release cycle [4]. Since then, no sustained development activity has occurred. There have been no releases tagged for any of the deliverables owned by the team either, and there are no actively maintained stable branches. So, in accordance with the procedures in the OpenStack governance documentation [5], and based on the current state of the project, we propose the following repositories ahead of the 2025.2 ("Flamingo") coordinated release: - openstack/monasca-agent - openstack/monasca-api - openstack/monasca-common - openstack/monasca-events-api - openstack/monasca-log-api - openstack/monasca-notification - openstack/monasca-persister - openstack/monasca-specs - openstack/monasca-tempest-plugin - openstack/monasca-thresh - openstack/python-monascaclient - openstack/monasca-ui - openstack/monasca-transform - openstack/monasca-ceilometer - openstack/monasca-grafana-datasource - openstack/monasca-kibana-plugin - openstack/monasca-statsd Some of the current maintainers intend to fork the project and continue development independently for their purposes. This retirement does not preclude such efforts; nor does it prevent reviving the project after the retirement. If there are any objections to retiring the project, please respond to this thread. In the event there is interest in continuing Monasca within OpenStack, we would expect the project team to meet the requirements for active status [6] — including identifying a new PTL for the upcoming release cycle and demonstrating plans for sustained maintenance. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to Monasca over the years.
