openwrt and lede - remerge proposal

[Jo-Philipp Wich]

Hi,

> *) 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

As far as I know, DigitalOceans DNS servers are hosted at CloudFlare,
not sure if you can get much better than that; at least it seems like an
odd priority item given the other pending remerge tasks.

I do not understand this item.

> *) SPI
> - TBD post remerge

I'd prefer to tackle this first.

> *) github
> - stop pushing to lede-project organisation

Why?

> - start pushing to the openwrt organisation

By force-overwriting the history of openwrt/openwrt ?

> - cleanup the list of owners in the openwrt organisation

What kind of cleanup is meant here?

> - update the lede landing page to represent the openwrt name

Is there any joint statement which can be used?

Why?

Make a read only static HTML mirror, should be easy with a bit of
scripting and rewrite the rest of the URLs elsewhere.

> - edit the trac html templates, adding a note pointing at the
> bug.openwrt.org instance

Can be done while scripting the mirror process.

According to the rules there shall be no personal mail accounts at all.
There should be plenty of time until the actual remerge to fade them out
and to set up forwarding elsewhere.

Is there any personal mail sent from @openwrt.org at all? As far as I
understood, only administrative stuff (subscriptions, ...) will be sent
from this domain; the rest can be nailed down with SPF records.

I am not aware of any personal sponsorship policy, what is meant here?
