This resolution wraps up the discussion from [0] and defines a plan. It's important to note that the OpenDev team is targeting the migration by April 19[1], so we should merge this resolution and provide a list of unofficial projects to be moved before that date.

2019-03-22 Namespace Unofficial Projects
|
|
==========================================
|
|
|
|
As OpenStack has evolved, the infrastructure program hosting OpenStack code
|
|
has also evolved into its own program called OpenDev. As OpenDev prepares to
|
|
move git hosting to new URLs and new backends, OpenStack has an opportunity
|
|
to revisit previous choices about how projects are namespaced.
|
|
|
|
Previously, OpenStack had a concept of "stackforge" to host unofficial
|
|
projects. Eventually, the TC :ref:`retired the stackforge name
|
|
<20160119_stackforge_resolution>` and git namespace in order to simplify the
|
|
logistics of moving projects from unofficial to official, and the "openstack"
|
|
git namespace became a place for all projects hosted on OpenStack's git
|
|
infrastructure.
|
|
|
|
As the growth of OpenStack has slowed and processes have improved, the need
|
|
to streamline the process of making a project official has decreased.
|
|
Additionally, a single namespace has caused confusion in the community about
|
|
which projects are official and which are unofficial.
|
|
|
|
It's become clear that OpenStack should use this opportunity to go back to the
|
|
old model of a separate namespace for unofficial projects. When the git
|
|
repositories are moved to the new OpenDev infrastructure, a new namespace
|
|
called "unknown" will be created, and all unofficial projects currently
|
|
hosted in the OpenStack infrastructure will be re-located there. All official
|
|
projects will remain in the "openstack" namespace. This includes projects
|
|
which are currently in the "openstack-dev" and "openstack-infra" namespaces
|
|
which are not moving to another namespace (e.g. "opendev").
|
|
|
|
Unofficial projects moved to the "unknown" namespace are encouraged to find
|
|
a home in an existing namespace other than "openstack", or to create a new
|
|
namespace for themselves.
