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 ----- Chris Riccomini 11:51 AM Hey all Had a question about incubator git migration Daniel Takamori (pono) 11:51 AM Shoot. Chris Riccomini 11:52 AM 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 Daniel Takamori (pono) 11:52 AM @Humbedooh has the most experience interfacing with GitHub Chris Riccomini 11:52 AM can we assign ownership of the source repo to apache? (it's currently under AirBNB's repo on github) Daniel Takamori (pono) 11:52 AM 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. David Nalley 11:56 AM 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. Chris Riccomini 11:58 AM @ke4qqq I believe we can have them do that @ke4qqq let me check with them On Thu, Apr 21, 2016 at 9:59 PM, Bolke de Bruin <[email protected]> wrote: > Maybe mirror the incubator repo "in" the current Airbnb repo as well? > > Sent from my iPhone > > > On 22 apr. 2016, at 03:00, Chris Riccomini <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > > Perhaps we can ask Infra. > > > > On Thu, Apr 21, 2016 at 5:52 PM, Chris Riccomini <[email protected]> > > wrote: > > > >> @Maxime, I doubt it will preserve any of that. :( > >> > >> On Thu, Apr 21, 2016 at 5:44 PM, Maxime Beauchemin < > >> [email protected]> wrote: > >> > >>> Will the method of transfer preserve the 2500+ stars, 200+ watches and > >>> 500+ > >>> forks?
