Re: [dotNetRDF-Develop] End of line

[Ron M. Z. <ro...@ze...>]

Hey Rob,

As everyone else has said, I'm sorry to see you go and also sorry that I
haven't been able to contribute or do much in a long while. I'm most sorry
to hear of your health issues.

All the projects I had using RDF have died or were forced to move to other
technologies. Maybe I'll get to use it again someday. But thank you so very
much for all you've done for the community and all the help you've given me
over the past few years. Please let me know if there's every anything I
might be able to do for you.

Ron



So you may have noticed that there has not been any releases in a long
time, and again you may have not since there  is little to no activity here
at all.

Personally I no longer have the drive, time nor the capability (due to
unforeseen health issues) to continue making any efforts to take this
project forward or even to continue to maintain it. Therefore since no one
else is helping out with this the project is for all intents and purposes
dead.

As a good friend in the open source community is fond of saying:

 There are three ways to participate in open source -hope, sponsor,
contribute

Unfortunately this project has never succeeded in building a community of
contributors and has mostly relied on hoping someone else will do the work
for them. I acknowledge that this is as much my failure to build a viable
community as it is a failure of the community to get more heavily involved
but unfortunately it leaves us in a situation where my stepping down
essentially kills the project.

Sorry to be leaving like this,
