[Openoss-devel] Important JOSIF Hosted Apps Retirement

[Craig G. (opennms) <cg...@op...>]

Hi,

Some disturbing and important news. Sourceforge have just announced end 
of life for the hosted apps platform. This means our JOSIF Media Wiki 
and mantis bug tracking will need to be hosted in a different way. We 
have until September 1 to migrate before the hosted apps platform is 
turned off.

Sourceforge recommend moving these apps to their Project Web platform 
where they will continue to host the apps for free. They are working on 
scripts and instructions to help with the migration.
(http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Project%20web%20and%20developer%20web%20platform)

But we will need to do the migration and installation which will involve 
some work on our part.

See the email below for more details.

We should discuss a plan for this this at the SII call.

Cheers
Craig

In case you missed it ...

We wanted to be sure you were aware of some upcoming changes to the
SourceForge project hosting service.

One or more of your projects use the Hosted Apps service. On September 1,
2012, the Hosted Apps service will reach the end of its life and be shut
down. The reasons for this are discussed in the blog post, at
http://sourceforge.net/blog/hosted-apps-retirement/  and in the wiki, at
https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/community-docs/Hosted%20Apps%20Retirement/


Over the coming days, we'll be publishing more documents about how to
migrate your apps to your own project web space, so that none of your data
is lost in this transition. We want to be sure that your project can
continue to operate without interruption, so if you have any concerns,
difficulty with migration, or just want to chat, please send us a note
(com...@so...).

Please watch the wiki page
(https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/community-docs/Hosted%20Apps%20Retirement/)
for further updates about this process. We'll be back in touch as it gets
closer to the deadline, or if anything about the plan changes.

Thanks again for being part of the SourceForge community.
