Hi everyone, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Despite the best efforts of a lot of folks off-list (you know who you are, |
| 7 |
and many thanks to you all), it hasn't been possible to sort out the |
| 8 |
disagreements between the Sunrise project and other Gentoo developers. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Brix came to me (as o.g.o lead) this afternoon to complain about the Sunrise |
| 11 |
project being on o.g.o. We discussed the situation, and agreed that there |
| 12 |
simply isn't a consensus about whether or not the Sunrise project should exist. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
My personal position is that o.g.o is a resource for the *whole* of Gentoo; |
| 15 |
all projects, all devs, and all users. That includes Sunrise, as long as |
| 16 |
they are a Gentoo project. By _permanently_ kicking Sunrise off o.g.o, we'd |
| 17 |
effectively be shutting down the project, and telling the folks behind it |
| 18 |
that their work on it isn't welcome inside Gentoo. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
That's not my decision to make, as o.g.o lead. That decision rightly |
| 21 |
belongs with the Council. I'm referring this to the Council for them to decide. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I've suspended the Sunrise overlay on o.g.o until the Council has decided |
| 24 |
things one way or another. The wiki has been switched to read-only, and the |
| 25 |
subversion repository is no longer accessible at all. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
This has been discussed in advance with both sides, and both sides have |
| 28 |
agreed that this is the right course of action to take. In particular I'd |
| 29 |
like to thank the Sunrise folks for agreeing to this, in an effort to focus |
| 30 |
the on-going discussion on how the project can best benefit Gentoo as a whole. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
The #gentoo-sunrise channel continues to exist, and the folks in there are |
| 33 |
continuing to refine their plans for the project. The project isn't dead, |
| 34 |
and if the Council decide that Sunrise can continue, the overlay can be |
| 35 |
re-activated within a few minutes. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Best regards, |
| 38 |
Stu |
