[LEDE-DEV] openwrt and lede - remerge proposal

Hi, Felix, Imre and myself had 2 calls last week lasting several hours and discussed the following proposal of conditions for a remerge that we would like to propose and have people vote on. *) 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 - TBD post remerge *) github - stop pushing to lede-project organisation - 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 - keep the lede organisation in its current state so that forked trees dont get obsoleted - obsolete the lede github org after a grace period of 3-6 months *) landing page - 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 *) 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 - 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 accounts into aliases that anyone with voting rights can be subscribed to - ask those people that are no longer active to voluntarily give up their accounts - mail addresses may under no conditions be used for any personal business, consultancy, applying for jobs, ...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 - announce the switch to the infradead serves, asking people to unsubscribe if they have privacy issues with this - import the user DB from the current openwrt and lede ML into the 2 new mailing lists - find out if we can redirect/auto-reply the existing lists to the new ones *) trademark/sponsorship policy - review/ack imres trademark policy - review/ack jows sponsorship policy *) timeline - refine / vote / agree on the proposal withing the next 2 week - work on the action items in the 4 weeks after that John
