[LEDE-DEV] openwrt and lede - remerge proposal V2

Hi, here is a V2 of the remerge proposal, I tried to fold all the comments people made into it, if anything is missing let me know. John *) branding - the owrt side sees no option of using the lede brand - a (minor) majority voted for openwrt as a name over lede whilst most people said they did not care - as the last vote had a 100% ACK for a remerge using the owrt brand is the only feasible option *) domain - transfer owner ship to SPI for openwrt.org and lede-project.org - add them to the pool of urls at digital ocean - post remerge build a setup where we have several DNS servers in various locations - point git.openwrt.org at the lede git server - point bugs.openwrt.org to the lede flyspray instance - keep both wikis and forums as is (we should decide post remerge how to proceed to avoid these issues blocking the progress) - update the lede domain entries for build/download/rsync/... servers so that the openwrt domain also points at them *) SPI - nominate a new liaison team (imre and john offer to do this, if anyone else is interested let us know) - inform SPI of the new liaisons, voters and project rules - this should be done early in the remerge process s.t. the domains can be handed over *) github - start pushing to the openwrt organisation - cleanup the list of owners in the openwrt organisation - obsolete all issues on the openwrt organisation and close the issue tracker - go through the open openwrt and lede PRs, pickup whats useful and close the rest, asking people to repost (things wont be rebasable anyhow) - close the lede PR tracker - obsolete the lede github org after a grace period of 3-6 months *) landing page - add a letter of intent / notice to both current landing pages announcing the remerge - update the lede landing page to represent the openwrt name - update the landing page to have the same look & feel as the current openwrt landing page - point openwrt.org at the lede landing page - try to find some design guru that will transform the owrt theme to one appropriate to this century *) trac - trac is already readonly, keep content so that search engines can still find the it - edit the trac html templates, adding a note pointing at the bug.openwrt.org instance *) email accounts - currently there are around ~20 active openwrt.org mail accounts (the 3 owrt devs would like to keep theirs active) - turn all the webmaster@, hostmaster@, ... accounts into aliases that anyone with voting rights can be subscribed to - ask those people that are no longer active to voluntarily give up their accounts - mail addresses may under no conditions be used for any personal business, consultancy, applying for jobs, ... purposes - any mail sent from an openwrt.org account needs to adhere the trademark policy and should only be used for FOSS purposes *) wiki / forum - TBD - asking in either forum/wiki will get a biased vote so keep them both around - start a separate discussion regarding these post remerge *) LF - find out what doubts folks have about LF - find out benefits - we would have their hosting and sponsorship ?! - start a separate discussion regarding these post remerge *) git trees - rebrand the lede tree to openwrt - work out what has happened inside the openwrt tree since the reboot and pick up the useful bits (zoltan has done some prior work on this already) *) mailing list - ask david to add the openwrt-adm and openwrt lists - send out invitation mails to the new list - setup redirect/auto-reply for the existing lists *) trademark/sponsorship policy - review/ack imres trademark policy (https://openwrt.org/trademark) - review/ack jows sponsorship policy (link pending) *) timeline - vote / agree on the proposal within the next week - work on the action items in the 4 weeks after that John
