[technology-pmc] Completing the merge of the LocationTech Forge into ecl

[Wayne Beaton <wayne.beaton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings Eclipse LocationTech PMC.

The Eclipse Foundation Webmaster and Project Teams have set December 2/2019 as the date to complete merging the LocationTech Forge into the Eclipse Forge. We're tracking this work on Bug 528037.

For most committers, this should not be disruptive. The existing source code repositories on GitHub will not be impacted.

Take note, however, that the mailing lists will be moved from @locationtech.org to @eclipse.org. As part of this, the technology-pmc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mailing list will be changed to locationtech-pmc@xxxxxxxxxxx to avoid conflicting with the existing mailing list for the Eclipse Technology PMC. The webmaster plans to preserve mailing list archives and move all subscribers to the new list. Please plan to update your contacts. We're tracking this with Bug 549639.

The other piece that will impact some of you is the migration of repo.locationtech.org. Please use Bug 528040 to provide input into this process and otherwise monitor progress.

Note that the open source projects will all be rebranded from "LocationTech *" to "Eclipse *" (see Bug 553103).

There are some other activities (all described in "blocker"s on Bug 528037) that you can use to provide input and feedback, and otherwise monitor progress.

Thanks,

Wayne
