IBM Stops Server Side Swift Framework Development
IBM update
@IanPartridge and @Chris_Bailey let the group know that following a review by IBM of its open source priorities, it has been decided that they will not be continuing to work on Swift in 2020. As a result, they are both standing down from the workgroup.
@IanPartridge will work to hand over responsibilities for the Swift Docker images and suggested a potential new owner from the community.
The workgroup thanked @IanPartridge, @Chris_Bailey and the rest of the IBM team for their valuable work over the years in getting Swift on server off the ground, and providing the community with reliable solutions during those early days.
