I'm not dancing on anyone's grave. Im a big fan of Riak, you know? I'm just
pointing out that there is in fact a grave and if there is any hope for a Riak
future the project will have to rebrand.
I'm sorry, but no company in their right mind would seriously consider using
Riak today if they we
Considering the fact that 99% of all meaningful development is living in
Github, pretty sure Riak as a framework gonna be fine. Like national

Agree, so if we’re sticking to the subject, “Is Riak dead?” the worst case is:

I read it too. I’m not sure what your point is. A day may come when the name

Hello,
Rackspace email has had serious issues, so I must have missed Alexander's
latest post. But thanks to Russell's post, here are a few thoughts on several
of Alexander's points:
I've never used slack and have minimal experience with IRC, but would be happy

They sure do. And if you look at the Apache2 license you’ll see that it grants
use of the name to identify the source.
Look, I’m not a lawyer, and I’m guess

I love your enthusiasm Lloyd. How about starting with a slack channel
and take it from there...
Things that would kinda need to happen for Riak to grow beyond where it is now:
- complete rebranding. Basho is dead. The term "Riak" may be encumbered.
- new everything. name. domain. github repo. bla
Hi all,
I think it is better to wait for a while as Russel pointed a legal issues.
We also would like remark our support to Riak as a company.
We are ready to put coding/documentation/hosting etc. effort after all
things settled.
Cheers
