Great questions, Nick.

For now, I am still active as Benevolent Dictator of the project, handling all pull requests.

All GitHub-related permissions have been transferred with the project over to the new location.

But very soon (I hope by early next week at the latest) I will be sending out a draft of community bylaws addressing precisely these questions. These should specify roles and processes for community self-management. I'm looking forward to any feedback, as I know there are many experts on self-governance here. I will be providing a standard and simple process based on best practices in community-driven open source communities.

All best,
Seb

Sounds good.

Is anyone committing directly to the datactive/bigbang repository, or all through pull requests? Who all is handling merging of pull requests? Any other permissions or roles we should know about?

Cheers,
Nick

The transfer is complete!

This is a big deal. From now on, datactive/bigbang is the core repository for BigBang.

New issues and pull requests should be logged there.

Please also update the remote paths of your local BigBang repositories to reflect this change.

sbenthall/bigbang will now be my personaa fork of datactive/bigbang, where I will push code in preparation for inclusion in the datactive/bigbang repository.

Please don't hesitate to ask any questions about this, as it's a big change!

Hello,

This is an important update regarding BigBang.

We are in the process of transfering the GitHub project to a new location. This means we are moving the issues, milestones, and wiki of the project. This is in order to facilitate moving the project infrastructure into a place where it can be managed by the community.  (Big thanks to Harsh Gupta for suggesting this!)

The project currently located at :


will be moved to the new location:


Because there is already a fork of bigbang in the datactive organization, this is a little tricky. I will be deleting the fork so that there's no conflict when I transfer the project.

In preparation for this, I have copied the issues from datactive/bigbang to sbenthall/bigbang, so that history is preserved.

I'll be doing these steps momentarily. This email is to make it clear what I'm doing so nobody is surprised.
