NOTICE: I intend to move most of BRL-CAD’s active operations off of SourceForge next year.
Over the next couple months, I’ll be looking at hosting providers and options for the various features we rely on (like our mailing lists, trackers, code, etc). If you’d like to help evaluate options, work on a migration plan, have strong opinion, or want to help with the actual transfers (woot!), please get in touch. It’s been a long ride, sometimes torturous, sometimes working fine for years. When they did their job well, we didn’t know they did anything at all. I do reflect that we’ve been provided with a plethora of project hosting features for “free” since 2004, and for that I am thankful. On the whole, most of them worked most of the time despite a handful of catastrophes. That said, some of the changes over the past two years in particular have really solidified dissent as policies being instituted by SourceForge management are negatively affecting our continued development and operations. As such, I think we need to move on and forge new relationships with different providers. This is public advance notice of changes to come next year. There’s a ton of work to do, like ensuring all data is fully backed up first and foremost, and it will likely be a gradual process as this affects many different things. Please send a note if you’d like to take an active role in the migration. Cheers!
