Forgot to add these two lists

-------- Original Message --------
Hi all,
I was wondering how the community feels if we retired
as stand-alone subprojects of the Xen Projects in line
withttp://xenproject.org/governance.html (see
http://xenproject.org/governance.html
- Archivation Review). I had already discussed with Stefano and
Konrad and they believe this is a good idea. I have also raised
the at the last Advisory Board meeting and the feedback was that
this is a good idea, if we craft the messaging around this
correctly as to not to cause confusion.
Why Archive these subprojects?
* The goal of both subprojects was to establish Xen support in
Linux and ARM support in the Hypervisor in the upstream projects
* This clearly has been achieved, so it is not necessary any more
to keep these around as separate subprojects
* Xen support is firmly established as part of Linux kernel
releases
* ARM support is firmly established as part of the Hypervisor
What does it NOT mean?
* Development of Xen in Linux would not stop - we merely treat it
as part of upstream development (which is what we have de-facto
today)
* Development of Xen on ARM would not stop - we merely treat it as
part of upstream development (which again is the de-facto status
today)
* We already retired separate mailing lists and PR tends to be
handled as part of the upstream development. The main impact is
that two xenproject.org pages would either disappear, become
smaller or become merged with (or subpages) of
http://xenproject.org/developers/teams/hypervisor.html
What are the next step?
* Consultation (this mail)
* Make an archivation proposal
* Formal vote
* Craft a positive messaging as part of a momentum press release :
the message would be that we are making progress, that our
governance model works and we can tie it up with the creation of
say the PV driver project. In other words, the project is evolving
and addressing issues.
Any views?
Best Regards
Lars
