How to keep this module

For this module to continue in this repository, it needs a sponsor.

• You will need to be a member of the OpenTelemetry organization and maintain that membership.
  • If you are not an existing member, we can add you to the community. This is not a disqualification, but something you will need in the process of becoming a sponsor.

How this module will be removed

This module is in the process of being deprecated. After that deprecation notice has been published, we will wait 3 months or 2 two releases (whichever is the longer time period). After that time period, this module will be removed from this repository and no more versions of the module will be published.

Resurrection

If a sponsor is found after the module has been deprecated or removed, these operations can be reversed (i.e. coded added back, deprecation notice removed).
