Greetings folks, Since the community, and TSC have agreed that they would like for The Linux Foundation to start the process for migrating the issue tracking from Bugzilla to JIRA one of the needed changes we're going to be doing is transitioning from the current OpenDaylight Identity (ODLID) system to the more commonly used Linux Foundation Identity (LFID) [0] system which nearly all of the projects that we support are using.
We need to do this for several reasons, but primarily because federating the ODL JIRA instance to any of the other project JIRAs requires that they all be using the same identity backend. Secondarily it's so that LF can eventually stop maintaining multiple identity systems ;) So, what does this mean for you? It means the following: 1) If you don't presently have an LFID I encourage you to go make one. 2) Committers will start seeing over the course of the next few weeks invitations coming from the LFID system to join committer groups. These groups will be the groups that will eventually power the Gerrit committer rights permissions, but they will also power more administrative authority in JIRA in a easier to maintain fashion. We've granted committers certain rights in Bugzilla upon request, but we couldn't do it on a group basis before since that is not a capability that Bugzilla has. JIRA, however does have this ability so committers will get nearly full authority over their projects in JIRA once the migration is completed. 3) After JIRA is brought up and we get it configured we will be sending out further notices related to migration from Bugzilla 4) In the next couple of months there will be notices related to migration of Gerrit as well. This will be a far more difficult migration than what we'll see for Bugzilla to JIRA but that migration will see us move from ODLID to LFID. As much as possible we will try to keep the issues to a minimum, but transitioning authentication backends with Gerrit is going to cause problems no matter how much planning we do. -Andy- [0] https://identity.linuxfoundation.org -- Andrew J Grimberg Lead, IT Release Engineering The Linux Foundation
