<p class="MsoNormal" style=margin-bottom:12.0pt>Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=margin-bottom:12.0pt>As far as I can see, the kafka-c module is definitely in active use. I added Pyr -- the original author of the kafka module -- on CC.<br />
<br />
In addition I see once in a while that people are asking about grok and zmq. On the other hand I'm not sure how much functional these modules are (AFAIR the the source part of the ZMQ module was never really finished) and the grok module builds on a C library
which is not actively maintained for many years.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I don't recall people mentioning any of the other modules recently.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style=margin-bottom:12.0pt>Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=margin-bottom:12.0pt>We had a discussion with our Debian maintainer about the fate of syslog-ng-incubator. For those of you who don't know, it is a set of syslog-ng modules not integrated to syslog-ng master for one reason or another.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style=margin-bottom:12.0pt>The problem with this repository is that it is not really maintained, causing compilation and functionality issues down the line.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=margin-bottom:12.0pt>So our opinion is to go ahead and integrate stuff that can be brough up to speed. Once we've done what we could, we would discontinue the incubator altogether.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=margin-bottom:12.0pt>Please speak up now, if you disagree, but please also be ready to help us out in maintenance in that case.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">If there are no disagreements in the following week, we would start to phasing out the incubator.<o:p></o:p></p>
