Hello from NGINX!

Today we're thrilled to announce that the official NGINX Open Source development
repository has moved from Mercurial to GitHub [1][2][3], where we will now start
accepting contributions in the form of Pull Requests. Additionally, starting
today, we will begin accepting bugs reports, feature requests and enhancements
directly through GitHub, under the "Issues" tab. Moreover, we've moved our
community forums to the GitHub "Discussions" area, where you will now be able
to engage in conversation, ask, and answer questions.

Does this mean that this list and/or your nginx.org dies on 31 December 2024?

I have tried to follow F5 and nginx internal differences for some time. Maybe I should have seen the creation of freenginx as "writing on the wall." I, like some or many of my colleagues, will not migrate to github (maybe has some good points, but destroys your "named corporate" identity.)

What is the position of major (Redhat, Canonical, etc) Linux distributions? Can we rely on continuing reliability? What "free" and/or "paid" licensing agreements are you planning?

Many of us use nginx only as a reverse proxy. It's fast and efficient. I flat out refuse to get into politics, but your announcement is not re-assuring. Do we need (fast? before year end?) a fall-back position?

Thanks -- Paul


Important: to report a security vulnerability, please follow our security
policy [4].

We understand that changes like these may require adjustment, so to give you
more time, we will continue accepting patches and provide community support
via mailing lists until December 31st, 2024.

We believe these changes will serve to centralize, modernize and expand access
to NGINX development and communities. They represent our continued commitment
to open source, as outlined in the blog post [5]. Most of all, we can't wait to
see all of your contributions, discussions and feedback, as we move into this
next chapter for NGINX.
