Hey all,

I checked in with INFRA. Conversation is below the fold. @Maxime, it sounds
like we can preserve stuff if we can grant some of the root Apache people
access to the repo so that they can do the move. Does that sound do-able on
your end?

Cheers,
Chris

Shoot.

Airflow is currently on Github and has >2000 stars, > 200 watchers, and
>500 forks
if we migrate to github.com/apache/incubator-airflow
is there a way that we can maintain these?
they lend a lot of legitimacy to the project

can we assign ownership of the source repo to apache? (it's currently under
AirBNB's repo on github)

It might be possible to do that if we contact GitHub, I don't know of
anyway we could do that on our side.
Changing ownership and changing the name seems possible though.

if AirBNB can temporarily make one of the root@ folks an admin that has
karma to transfer repos on the AirBNB team we can transfer pretty easily.

@ke4qqq let me check with them
