That doesn't mean disbanding the project, just updating our reference materials to reflect reality and clearly communicat expectations. It sounds like that was a misunderstanding which has been cleared up, though, so I think we're all set to continue considering it an official project.

CERN has been involved in the puppet-ec2api and RDO packaging which currently does not count as participation in the EC2 API project given the split of repositories. However, it is critical for deployment of a project that it can be installed and configured.

That's a great point, and in the future I'll look at packaging and other related repos when trying to gauge activity.
