 Spring Data for Apache Geode brings the full power of the Spring Framework to your Apache Geode applications.
 
+[[notice]]
+== NOTICE
+
+As of Spring Data `2022.0.0-RC1` / _Turing_ / `3.0.0-RC1`, the _Spring Data for Apache Geode_ (SDG) module has been removed
+from the Spring Data BOM and Spring Data release train. SDG will no longer continue in the `3.0` generation
+from this point forward.
+
+In short, a http://markmail.org/message/oafksl5iufmqhuyg[decision] was made by VMware to discontinue its contributions
+to the Apache Geode project at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). VMware has committed to the Apache Geode project
+at ASF up until 2023-October-1. This puts the SDG project at odds with the Apache Geode project, particularly with
+respect to https://spring.io/projects/spring-data-geode#support[support timelines].
+
+While SDG `2.7.x` is already GA and based on Apache Geode `1.14.x`, SDG `3.0` was targeting support for Apache Geode `1.15`
+(see https://geode.apache.org/releases/[releases]). Support of Apache Geode `1.15` will now move into
+_Spring Data for Apache Geode_ (SDG) `2.8`. SDG `2.8` will proceed with a series of milestone releases leading up to
+a final `2.8.0` GA in a relatively compressed timeframe. Release schedule and dates to be determined.
+
+In addition, service releases of SDG `2.8`, for example, a SDG `2.8.1`, will only occur on an as needed basis to address
+any CVEs, bug reports, and to make minor enhancements as necessary in support of our users. No new or significant features,
+or additions will be made to SDG beyond `2.7`. SDG `2.8` will close out more than decade long tenure (since its inception
+in 2010) of the _Spring Data for Apache Geode_ project.
+
+Finally, _Spring Data for VMware Tanzu GemFire_ (SDG) project will be the successor for the _Spring Data for Apache Geode_ project
+and restored as an externally managed and community-led project. SD GemFire will not be part of the Spring Data BOM,
+will not be released as part of the Spring Data release train and will not be maintained by the Spring (Data) team
+any longer. It will be solely managed and maintained by the VMware GemFire team in the VMware data org as
+an externally managed, community-led module.
+
+Specifics of the _Spring Data for VMware Tanzu GemFire_ project and effort are beyond the scope this notice, but more
+details will be provided in a blog post (pending review and approval) and on the [Spring Data for VMware Tanzu GemFire]
+project page at https://spring.io[spring.io].
