Subject: [wg-all] Migration of OGF document preparation and code
support, etc., from SourceForge to Redmine
Sent by: wg-all-bounces at ogf.org
As mentioned in December during the migration to new overall hosting for
OGF, and announced formally at the OGF 34 meeting in Oxford in March, OGF
is in the process of migrating its support for working group document
preparation, issue tracking, code and document repository and community
wiki functions from SourceForge to a new community server based on
Redmine.
Andre Merzky has kindly agreed to lead the technical aspects of this move,
coordinating with the OGF group leaders and standards council (GFSG) and
OGF Board as needed. So far this move has been in a pilot phase, with a
number of groups having made the move completely from GridForge based on
SourceForge at forge.ogf.org to Redmine at redmine.ogf.org . To cut down
on the problem of spam registrations that were a nuisance on the old
GridForge, we are asking people to please register for a new account and
to choose a good access password to go with it when registering to the new
server.
At this point, since things have gone fairly well, I would like to
encourage all work groups and community groups in OGF to make the switch.
As we develop more experience with the tools, more features may be added.
For now, all of the basic functionality needed to support an OGF group is
there. For groups that use repositories, you may notice that the default
version control system used on the new system is git, not subversion.
While Redmine does support svn and it can be installed, so far all of the
groups that have moved have been happy to convert to using git, which is
presently much more popular with developers. If this causes difficulty
for your group, please let us know. A tool does exist to do the migration
of content from svn to git to make this transition easier for your group.
Send any questions to ogf-it at ogf.org or, in the case of organizational
issues, to gfsg at ogf.org
Thanks to Andre for leading this effort, and to all of the groups that
have made the transition so far.
