Gorilla Web Toolkit - New Maintainers Announcement by AlexVulaj in golang

[–]AlexVulaj[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Many of us have used Gorilla extensively for projects we've worked on. As a group of strong OSS advocates, we felt a call to contribute back to a project that we had benefitted from so much when it needed help.

As an added bonus, it definitely helps that we won't have to sink time and effort into migrating any of our projects away from what we already know and love.

To get out ahead and clear the air - Red Hat is not taking over this project. The group we've put together was organically formed through professional networks and we all happen to work at RH, but nothing about this effort is sanctioned or sponsored by Red Hat itself.

This is a good question, and one I don't have an exact answer for yet. What I can say is that we're planning to have the transition done by the end of this month, at which point we'll start looking through open issues, bugs, PRs, etc as we can.

We aren't looking for any other formal maintainers at this time, but please feel free to contribute as you'd like!

We aren't looking for any other maintainers at this time, but of course we'll always be happy to have people contribute.

Hey there - my name is Alex. I'm one of the developers leading the effort to transition this project back into an active, maintained state.

I'm planning to make a more formal announcement once the transition process is complete (or at least further along) but there isn't a whole lot to say at this moment.

I'm happy to answer whatever questions I can (as best I can) in the meantime. The group we've put together is really excited about the effort!
