If you all are willing to volunteer, and/or help find other volunteers, I
will try to find folks to mentor you to get you started to keep the RPMs
going. Unfortunately, I have already spoken to folks in both Alma and
Rocky, a year ago and again this weekend at a conference, to see if they
could assist and they do not have the resources.
There was previously a small team of 2-3 engineers working on RDO but as
mentioned in the release announcement email they moved on to other
positions.

Thank you,
is it possible to try again to search for volunteers before abandoning
definitively the RPM packages? Less diversity is a loss for everyone, and
maybe people did not fully realize the situation (me including, didn't read
the announcement email as I'm still running Caracal 😅). Cross-posting
with other mailing lists/IRC/ops meetings could be useful, and if the
alternative is RPM discontinuation, more people might be interested.
If I can ask, how many people would (ideally) be necessary/how many RPMs
are around?

Francesco, Massimo, Jose,
We would love help from the other communities to continue creating the
RPMS. We put a call out for volunteers over a year ago[0]. and while folks
replied that they wanted to help or attended a meeting no one actually
started helping. As a result, we added an important note to the bottom of
the Epoxy release announcement[1] explaining that internal developers had
moved on and we again said we needed help and to reach out if interested.

I'll also send this to the OpenStack list but respecting Jeremy's
decoupling of lists.
