So we have been using OpenAMF in production since it's inception and 
very involved in some of the original code submitted to found the 
project. While we are not very involved in the current development, I 
can say that it still has an active developer community. There were just 
two updates today.

We have two major product releases that should be live in the next month 
that both use OpenAMF heavily.

So nope not dead... :)

So Red5 is a really exciting project and def something to keep an eye 
on!! It looks like the Red5 is using spark for AMF support and Spark 
uses OpenAMF. So I guess by moving to Red5, you are getting OpenAMF with 
a bunch of extra great features.
