User Email Template

Let the users know that the PMC is moving into the Attic. Use the following text: 

A heads up for the Gora user community that the Gora  PMC has
been 'moved to the Attic'. This means that the Gora  developers (more
formally its Project Management Committee) have voted to retire Gora 
and move the responsibility for its oversight over to the Attic project.

Loosely speaking this means that the projects resources will be moved to a
read-only state.

You can read more about the Apache Attic and the process of moving to the
Attic at https://attic.apache.org.

You can follow this process in JIRA:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ATTIC-236

Announcement Email Template

Consider the following template when announcing that the project is now retired: 

Announcing that the Apache Gora committers have voted to retire
the project due to inactivity. Apache Gora was an ORM framework for column stores such as Apache HBase and Apache Cassandra with a specific focus on Hadoop..

Retiring a project is not as simple as turning everything off, as
existing users need to both know that the project is retiring and
retain access to the necessary information for their own development
efforts.

You can read more about Gora's retirement at:

   https://attic.apache.org/projects/gora.html

The project's resources will continue to be available in a read-only state -
website, mailing lists, wikis, git, downloads and bug tracker with no 
change in url.

Providing process and solutions to make it clear when an Apache
project has reached its end of life is the role of the Apache Attic,
and you can read more about that at:

   https://attic.apache.org/

on behalf of the Apache Attic and the now retired Gora project
