From 88a952e84a0e7b05e997a73aa36e59a46416be0a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "James E. Blair" Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2015 17:18:32 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Add Stackforge Namespace Retirement resolution This adds a resolution to retire the stackforge/ namespace in favor of allowing all projects to use the openstack/ namespace. This facilitates project development lifecycle transitions between Stackforge and Openstack.

It enables projects +to deeply interact with OpenStack in development and testing, whether +they seek to become "core" OpenStack projects or not. + +This is an extremely valuable service that benefits our entire +community, including new as well as established projects. + +With recent changes in project governance, the OpenStack project has +opened itself to including a much wider range of projects under its +umbrella. Because of this, projects are moving between Stackforge and +OpenStack at a much higher frequency than previously. + +The names of projects hosted in the OpenStack project infrastructure +have prefixes that have been used for distinguishing Stackforge +("stackforge/") and OpenStack ("openstack/") projects. Because these +prefixes form part of the full name of the project's source code +repository, organizational changes entail renaming the project. This +is complex for the Infrastructure team and very disruptive to +developers, operators, and users. + +In order to simplify software development lifecycle transitions of +Stackforge and OpenStack projects, all projects developed within the +OpenStack project infrastructure will be permitted to use the +"openstack/" namespace. + +The "openstack/" namespace is intended to convey that projects +contained within it are developed by the OpenStack community at large. +Only some of the projects within will be official OpenStack projects +themselves.
