Hi Frank,

Thanks for your kind words :)

My initial e-mail was a proposal to start discussing moving to git, it was not an official roadmap or a migration announcement. The goal of this thread is to hear voices of support or voices against the Git migration, to see if the developers want this or not. I have discussed this issue with lots of developers in the last couple of years, I would like to hear their voice here :)

Your understanding is accurate: I just created the Git mirror so we can all evaluate how the repository would look like (with history and everything), but it is *read only* for now. In case there is a serious amount of pull requests from git, I have a backup plan to commit from Git to SVN but I would like to avoid for now :)

Regarding the issue tracker: we could keep the one we currently use, with the Trac-Git plugin. I hope that SAC will be able to support us with this. We could also start thinking for other solutions like Redmine or Gitlab (for source and tracker) if we feel they are superior. My personal preference would be to use free solutions for our infrastructure. An OSGeo GitLab installation would be great to have.

Cheers,
Angelos

Great work Angelo!

I really appreciate to work with git in the future!

My understanding of the current state, please correct me if I
missunderstood:
* we have a svn-mirror at github
* everybody is invited to check it out, control the migrated sources
* BUT for editing/modifiying source we still have to commit to SVN

Is there an "official" roadmap to start working with github repository?
What about the issue tracker. Is it worth to think about using github
issues in the future? I love the integrated browsing capability from trac
where its possible ti include sources or even link to sources from SVN
repository.

BTW: there is a Trac-Plugin to add git repositories :
http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracGit Hopefully it works with remote
repositories. Any thoughts to add it for OSGeo Trac instance?

Again, thanks for your effort!

Frank

 From now on, there is an SVN mirror of our project on the official
OSGeo GitHub account:

https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive

I have tried to gather everyone's details (names and e-mail addresses
from contributors.csv mainly but also from public Git repositories) in
order to build a nice history of commits.

Cheers,
Angelos
