[technology-pmc] Terminating Eclipse DataEggs

[Boris Baldassari <boris.baldassari@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Technology PMC, dev list, 

This email is to let you know of my intention to terminate the Eclipse DataEggs [1, 3] project. Please let me elaborate on the reasons to do so:

* DataEggs relies on a tool (Alambic [2]) that will not be maintained anymore. 

* DataEggs relies on an external service (the server running Alambic) that has been decommissioned. Setting it up on another node proved to be.. very difficult.

* I won't have time to update the whole toolchain, and there is no other party interested in doing so either. 

* Although people initially seemed to see value in DataEggs, the project has not been widely used -- to my knowledge at least.

I'll be happy to answer any question you may have. 

Thank you, have a beautiful day!
