[GParted-Devel] GParted SF Project Upgrade Planned for Nov 21, 2012

[Curtis G. <ge...@gm...>]

An upgrade of the GParted project to the new SF Allura platform is 
planned for Wednesday, November 21st, 2012.

The Source Forge team is working to migrate all SF projects to the new 
Allura platform by early next year.  To help SF in this endeavour, I 
plan to invoke the project upgrade this coming Wednesday.

Attached to this email is the request to upgrade from SF, and links to 
more details about Allura.

If you have any concerns, then please let me know.  Otherwise I shall 
assume that all is good and proceed with the upgrade.

Regards,
Curtis Gedak

Dear GParted project admin,

As one of our top projects, we want to be sure that you are aware of
what's coming in the near future. As you are no doubt aware by now,
SourceForge is upgrading our core development product from the "Classic"
forge to a new product, code-named "Allura". Allura is itself Open
Source, and is developed on SourceForge, at http://sf.net/p/allura/
Allura is also incubating at the Apache Software Foundation, to become
an ASF project. (http://incubator.apache.org/projects/allura.html)

Early next year, we hope to be 100% migrated off of the classic
platform. As a developer yourself, you understand that we want to
retire the legacy code base, so that we can spend less time in
maintenance, and more time moving forward.

We'd like for you to have the opportunity to upgrade on your own
schedule, rather than ours. You can read about the upgrade process at
https://sourceforge.net/p/upgrade/ and then press the 'Upgrade' button
next to your project name.

In our surveys of projects that have upgraded, 97% of respondants tell
us that the upgrade improved, or at least didn't change (12% said that),
their developer experience.

Please don't hesitate to email me with any questions or comments you
might have about the upgrade process.
