I always enjoyed the ease of contribution via github with minimal
effort. While for apache-projects has always felt like a mess because of
different hurdles.
So I would defiantly vote for staying with github, dropping JIRA in
favour of github issues (they improved the issue/project handling a lot)
to centralize development to one place.
Github even offers building "Actions" now so maybe this is also an
alternative for custom build-server.

Hi,
If option 4 is interesting, we have to remember:
1. First, in which Apache umbrella project. I don't think Felix is a
good match as we might have some overlap with existing projects (felix
http, ...). Maybe Karaf ?
2. We need to transfer IP and "PMC" set and ask in the Apache project
community with a formal vote.
3. We will have to follow Apache process, especially for releases
(meaning at least 3 days vote, 3 binding votes, etc), extending Apache
pom, etc.
So, IMHO, we have really two options:
1. We keep OPS4J community, do a cleanup (announcing non active projects)
2. We move active Pax projects to Apache (obviously my preference would
be Karaf).
Thoughts ?

I'd be also happy to pay for ops4j.org <http://ops4j.org> (the one

*Long version:*
Since this is coming up now, there is a general question were to go
with OPS4J in general.
It predated github and probably was back then the easiest way to get
hands dirty in a non-trivial java based OSS community where trust
was default. Think about it, back then everyone could get write
access to the subversion repo and start hacking on new or existing
projects. Including admin access to jira and whatever else was
existing back then. Pax URL, Pax Runner, Pax Exam, Pax Construct
etc. all got initiated by individuals without asking for permission.
I mean.. thats Names like Pax Tinybundles got to life.. but oh well.
Now, why am I writing this: there is - at least for pax url, web and
exam - a huge user base that seems to be quite healthy. Even if
there is just that "ops4j" name of the github organization now, no
website etc.
So, question: what are the options? Let me just drop them here that
come to my mind (ordered from easy-as-py to more complicated options):
* keep things as is, find individual sponsors like I do with the
Build Server (who uses that still by the way??), and JB or me
(this means I'd be also fine to pay for the org domain that is
in active use,too btw). It would be good to have two different
companies or legal entities backing this anyway.
* Modernize OPS4J a bit. Get it a landing page at least and a
clear who is behind all this, who pays etc. Maybe look at Github
Sponsoring to spread costs across user base - avoid single
entity control.
* Maybe look into making it a proper foundation or at least an
entity that makes the work here eligible for future donations. I
am not sure of this is worth it. But i feel Open Source != Open
Governance.
* Retire non active projects and donate active projects to apache.
Probably difficult because of Intellectual Property)
wdyt?

First of all, thanks a lot for all what you did (and still doing

I’m ready to take the hand for the domain and finance them.
Thoughts ?

Everyone,
In a few months time (June), the OPS4J domain names are up
for renewal. And I have been paying for those for 15 years
now, and since I no longer participate in OPS4J I would like
to transfer the domain names. But where to??
Ideally a foundation that would be Ok to take it over,
otherwise to a trusted community member.
Ideas are welcome, and should be discussed. I have no
opinion and will simply follow what you all can agree on.
ops4j.org <http://ops4j.org>
ops4j.net <http://ops4j.net>
ops4j.com <http://ops4j.com>
Cheers
Niclas
