Dell Customer Communication - Confidential

Kendall,
As I suggested, lets redirect old openstack channels to corresponding openinfra ones.

Thanks,
Arkady

Hello Everyone!

Quick update: It sounds like we have managed to negotiate control of the #openinfra group on freenode and can begin the migration! (Correct me if I'm wrong, fungi :) ).

So! This is the plan:

- #openstack-ptg -> #openinfra-ptg
- #openstack-forum -> #openinfra-forum
- #openstack-diversity -> #openinfra-diversity
- #openstack-board -> #openinfra-board (this one has already begun)
- #openstack-foundation -> #openinfra
- #openinfra-summit -> #openinfra-summit

If there are any others you have seen that could also require updating, please let us know! I will be coordinating with fungi to do the migrations this week and will work on updating any documentation after the migrations take place.

We have started to replace the acronym with "OpenInfra Foundation" and "OpenInfra" depending on the use case. Another option to consider that we're using for twitter handle, url, and similar spots is "OpenInfraDev".

Thanks,

Kendall and Jeremy,

I'm good with the suggested name changes especially with that added information the openinfra isn't available. We should definitely keep it short so don't feel going to openinfratructure is a good alternative even if it is more obvious. I do think the more we use OIF vs OSF it'll be more natural for people to look for it.

Thanks,

The blocker there is that we can't control the #openinfra-*
namespace on Freenode because the #openinfra channel is already
taken by the separate https://opensourceinfra.org/ community.
