User Email Template
Let the users know that the PMC is moving into the Attic. Use the following text:
A heads up for the Olingo user community that the Olingo PMC has
been 'moved to the Attic'. This means that the Olingo developers (more
formally its Project Management Committee) have voted to retire Olingo
and move the responsibility for its oversight over to the Attic project.
Loosely speaking this means that the projects resources will be moved to a
read-only state.
You can read more about the Apache Attic and the process of moving to the
Attic at https://attic.apache.org.
You can follow this process in JIRA:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ATTIC-251

Announcement Email Template
Consider the following template when announcing that the project is now retired:
Announcing that the Apache Olingo committers have voted to retire
the project due to inactivity. Olingo was a Java library that implements the Open Data Protocol (OData). .
Retiring a project is not as simple as turning everything off, as
existing users need to both know that the project is retiring and
retain access to the necessary information for their own development
efforts.
You can read more about Olingo's retirement at:
https://attic.apache.org/projects/olingo.html
The project's resources will continue to be available in a read-only state -
website, mailing lists, wikis, git, downloads and bug tracker with no
change in url.
Providing process and solutions to make it clear when an Apache
project has reached its end of life is the role of the Apache Attic,
and you can read more about that at:
https://attic.apache.org/

on behalf of the Apache Attic and the now retired Olingo project
