About: who is behind it, and how to get in touch

Cameleering is a way of engineering and the GitHub organization that holds its projects. This page says who maintains it, how decisions are made, what it offers, and how to reach us.

Who maintains it

Cameleering and its projects are maintained by Sudheesh PM (github.com/pmsudhi). Decisions are made in the open, in the projects' issues and pull requests on github.com/cameleering. Contributions are welcome under each project's contributing guide.

What it offers

Open source, and nothing else for sale: every project is under the Apache License 2.0, with no paid edition, no hosted service and no closed parts. The maintainer is open to consulting on measuring and slimming software, from a baseline to a crossing report.

How to reach us

  • Questions, ideas and consulting: GitHub Discussions, open to everyone. For consulting, start a discussion and say so; the maintainer answers there or follows up privately.
  • Bugs: an issue on the project's repository, for example Cameleer or simoom.
  • Security reports: privately, through GitHub's vulnerability reporting, never in a public issue (security and supply chain).
  • A wrong number on this site: an issue with the page and the source you checked. Corrections are made in the open, and superseded ledger rows stay visible.

Independence

Cameleering and its projects are independent. Cameleer follows Apache Camel's names, options and semantics so that routes run unchanged, but it contains no Camel source code and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Apache Software Foundation. Apache, Apache Camel and Camel are trademarks of the ASF. Comparisons with other software on this site are factual and name the exact versions measured.

The name

A cameleer drives a caravan of camels, animals known for carrying heavy loads a long way on little water. Cameleer was the first project, and the practice took its name: Cameleer is a product, cameleering is the practice. The projects are named after desert and caravan words: simoom (a desert wind), karez (an underground water channel), ksar (a fortified granary).

Press kit

One-line descriptions

  • Cameleering: the practice of making software carry the same load on less and proving every gain against the original, on the same hardware, with the method published.
  • Cameleer: an integration engine in the style of Apache Camel, one std-only native binary; the first Cameleering project.
  • simoom: an embeddable HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 server engine in std-only Rust; a Cameleering project.

Marks

Numbers quoted in articles should name their baseline and date, as the ledger does.
