Releases should be in the form of tarballs and those who wish to hack on NuttX or be on the bleeding edge can clone the git repos. Nothing changes there except the URL where you download those things (and the fact that the PMC members will digitally sign the release tarballs with our PGP/GPG keys). To minimize confusion, all the places that have until now hosted NuttX tarballs and git repos should have a big "WE HAVE MOVED!" message with our new address. Not directly related but Greg mentioned Google and LinkedIn: I suggest that we really need to get all discussions, participation, and contributions "under one roof" so to speak, at dev@nuttx.apache.org. I think the Slack, the Google Group, the LinkedIn Group, and any other forums that fragment participants, should wind up soon. Whenever we reply to a message there, we should remind people that those forums are deprecated and that they should join dev@nuttx.apache.org. If there is any valuable information on the Slack or LinkedIn that is of use to NuttX and shouldn't be lost, I suggest asking whoever posted it if they'll kindly copy and paste into an email to dev@, to bring it under the one roof and also to open it up to anyone who wants to get involved in the project.
