Hey everyone.
As of today, I have bad news. As you can probably tell by the title of this Thread, Oxygen-Software(My FOSS Organization/Group that I started just a month ago), is now shutting-down.
I'll explain why it's happening and what will happen in the future.
Why Is Oxygen Ceasing Operations?
This is the Question that will have immediately popped into your head as soon as you saw this Post. Let me explain.
When I started Oxygen, I was extremely active in it. I was setting-up a couple of Projects, built the Website, wrote Documents on things like the Coding-Style and even the Manifesto that declared Oxygen. But, pass on into October, I have been extremely inactive with it. I have barely done any Development on any of Oxygen's Projects and the Website received Updates more slowly. The reason that I have been inactive is because of Procrastination. I know that Oxygen has an ongoing Project(WebBox - A Fork of WebWareBox) and I keep on saying to myself: "I'll work on it later". Yet, that continuously repeats in my head and as a result, I haven't even done a single drop of actual work on it. I have recently started Development of Version 0.2 of WebBox but even then, it will take forever to finish it all because of me, Procrastinating.
Because of my Procrastination, I no longer have the incentive to do any more work on Oxygen. I have constantly pushed Tasks back and instead slacked-off, doing other things like living my daily-life or chilling on the PS4 and chatting with friends. Another reason, is that I don't think Oxygen is going to make it big. Yes, it takes a while to build-up a following and then making sure that the people who are now following you, stay with you. But for Oxygen, I don't see it happening.
I have had too many grand ambitions for Oxygen but I don't see any of it working out or happening at all. I guess my ambitiousness got to me again and yet, reality has hit me with a car and I wake-up out of a nightmare, realizing that none of that happened or is it ever going to happen. I'm also not experienced with Programming-Languages that are Oxygen's Main-Languages(C, Java and PHP). C, I'm starting to become more fluent in but I need more practice. Java, need to further learn and PHP.....Don't know a thing. My amateurish Programming-Skills is also what held Oxygen back from moving forward.
What Will Happen To Oxygen's Projects?
This is probably another Question that may have popped-up into your head.
As for Oxygen's Projects, they'll all be deleted on the date that Operations have ceased(Read on for the Date that Operations will cease). WebBox and the Website will be scrapped and deleted. Titanium-Wiki(Which never got far), will also be scrapped. As I mentioned earlier, WebBox is a Fork of my old Project, WebWareBox. So if you want to Develop that, then you're free to make your own Fork of it.
It's sad to see all of this hard work go to waste but unfortunately, that's how the Tech and FOSS Industries work. We make something and at some point, all of the hard work is going to be scrapped, shredded and flushed down the toilet.
When Exactly, Will Oxygen Cease Operations?
Again, another Question that you may have.
I have decided that, tomorrow, Friday 1st November 2019, will be the Date that Oxygen will cease Operations and will be turned to ashes and dust. There is no specific time for when it will happen on that Date, but you can expect it to happen between 6 - 8PM.
Will Oxygen Ever Return?
Good Question.
I highly doubt it will return. If it does return, it will be at some point in the future. But when that day does come for the return of Oxygen, it will probably be under a different name. And who knows, at that point, I'll probably have a wife and kids and will be too busy to do something like Oxygen, which will require serious dedication and management.
It's sad to see Oxygen go. I sank a good amount of work into it but again, Procrastination, life and other stuff caught up with me and thus' I have to just let go. But as a present, I am uploading the Files for Oxygen's Coding-Style, way of Versioning, Privacy and the original Manifesto. All for your reading and to maybe include the Manifesto in Projects of your own(Except the Manifesto. That's ONLY, for reading).
