Apache Artemis Project

Summary

In order to provide greater clarity and dedicated focus for our communities, especially our users, the Apache ActiveMQ PMC has decided to establish two distinct Apache Top-Level Projects: Apache ActiveMQ and Apache Artemis.

Both projects are highly active with vibrant communities, and this separation will grant each project better visibility and autonomy. Moving forward, each project will evolve independently with dedicated governance, fostering their unique development paths. This reorganization also presents a significant opportunity for new contributions to both projects.

What does this mean concretely in the coming days? We will operate as two independent Top-Level Projects, each with its own domain (activemq.apache.org and artemis.apache.org). It also means that each project will establish and manage its own dedicated resources, including websites, mailing lists, Slack channels, and issue trackers. These resources will become available in the coming weeks. In the mean-time, development and releases will continue on existing paths.

Stay tuned for more updates,
