Donation to Apache Cassandra and ASF
Reassignment of copyright, where approved, and relicensing.

New repository will be github.com/apache/cassandra-spark-connector

[michaelsembwever]

To all past contributors,

We are working on donating this project to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) to be formally part of the Apache Cassandra project, specifically its Analytics subproject. ref: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANALYTICS-15

Part of the process is to check with all past contributors, asking for your consent to move the codebase and transfer its copyright to the ASF (the license stays the same).

To provide consent a simple +1 comment on this pull request is all that is required.

Normally we seek past contributors to sign the ASF's ICLA when donating IP over to an Apache project. In this situation we don't need to as the whole codebase is already copyright to DataStax covered by existing CLA on all past contributions. We are still going through the process of seeking consent from all contributors in good faith.

The collection of agreements and CLAs is being tracked in this document: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rkFtfnXbIckV1tYQlgFtwoHHOKUJj0vv-VndlQWA4rY
; and recorded in the NOTICE file.

@michaelsembwever, what is the motivation of the donation to ASF?

[michaelsembwever]

@JackBuggins

what is the motivation of the donation to ASF?

it's no longer maintained or being developed by DataStax, and there's interest to maintain and develop it in the project under the Cassandra Analytics subproject.
