I'm pleased to announce that the Mixxx project now has its own official
github repository.

https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/

Right now this will be a secondary, "read-only" repository that will be
kept in sync with Launchpad on a roughly hourly basis.  After a testing
period and sometime after the release of 1.11 we will work to make
github the primary source repository for Mixxx.  At that point I'll swap
the sync process so that launchpad will be a read-only mirror of the
github repository.

The conversion process was nearly lossless.  Commits, branch merges, and
tags all came through automatically.  In cases where contributors
already have a github account, their contributions will show up right
away.  Others will have to do the following to associate their accounts
with Mixxx on github:

* Create a github account.
* Add your mixxx email address to github Settings / Emails.
* Contact support using the link from this page to have them match up
your commits:
https://help.github.com/articles/why-are-my-contributions-not-showing-up-on-my-profile

Then your contributions should show up in your github user page and on
the Mixxx Graphs page.

What does this mean for patches I am working on?

If you're working in bzr, keep working in bzr for now.  But if you
prefer git or if you'd like to try it out, feel free to use it.  If you
submit a pull request the merge will have to be made manually by me to
prevent conflicts with commits being made in launchpad.

What does this mean for Launchpad?

At this time, we plan to keep using launchpad for bugs, wiki, and other
organizational uses.  This may change if github's issue tracker
improves.  The goal right now is to get off bzr and on to git, which
should allow casual developers to make contributions more easily.

What if I want to move my own branch over to github?

We used https://github.com/termie/git-bzr-ng to migrate the repository.
It's really easy and robust, so you should feel free to give it a try on
your own github account.  It only takes a few minutes on a fast computer
to import a new branch from launchpad.

cheers,
Owen Williams
