I want to give an update on the Hawkular Community distribution since Hawkular Services is now on a good track.

The Hawkular Community distribution will be built on top of the Hawkular Services with two additions: Embedded Cassandra and Hawkular UI. The Embedded Cassandra was removed from the Hawkular Services but will make its way into the community distribution. The Hawkular UI will be the original web interface from previous Hawkular bundle but updated to work with Hawkular Services.

In the short term, the Hawkular Community distributions will be just a rebundling of Hawkular Services with the Embedded Cassandra. The repository for this effort is: https://github.com/hawkular/hawkular-community

Lastly, I renamed old hawkular/hawkular repository hawkular/hawkular-dist-old, marked it as archived, and removed access to it. The new url: https://github.com/hawkular/hawkular-dist-old . My initial reaction was to update hawkular/hawkular for the new community distribution. But after looking at the commit and pull request history it did not make sense to continue using that repository. Also, it would have been really confusing to keep the repository with the old name knowing it will probably be never be updated again, if somebody takes a look at the org and spots that repository it may wonder if the community is still active.

A note about the hawkular/hawkular rename, Github has automatic redirects for renamed repositories. If somebody navigates to the old url, they will be redirected to the new name. So as long we do not have another hawkular/hawkular, the old url will keep working (which is is a good idea given existing links and forks). But we should never ever name anything again hawkular/hawkular because it is a very misleading name.
