fungikopecmartin: tosky: just a heads up, i've proposed https://review.opendev.org/808479 to rename git repos from osf/* to openinfra/* and there's a followup at https://review.opendev.org/808480 to adjust our image builds and operational document for refstack accordingly, but let me know if that's going to be a problem22:05
toskyfungi: I guess there will be a redirect in place as usual if someone clones the old location, to allow for a smoother migration?22:06
tosky(not really important, but why openinfra and not oif? :D)22:06
fungitosky: yep, urls and cloning from the old name will still work22:07
fungitosky: we were asked very quickly after the foundation name change by one of the several longstanding organizations which also goes by "oif" not to use that as a reference to the name of the foundation22:08
fungiso you'll never see "oif" used in any official communications22:09
fungiinstead we've mostly used "openinfra" instead as a short name for "open infrastructure foundation"22:09
toskyoh, oki22:11
toskythree letters acronyms are complicate22:12
fungito be honest i don't recall whether it was the optical internetworking forum, osteogenesis imperfecta foundation, organisation internationale de la francophonie, or someone else who was acting possessive of the acronym22:12
fungisuffice to say we were informed it would be a bad idea from a legal standpoint to try to go by "oif" in any official capacity22:13
fungieven when we were going by "osf" it apparently ruffled the feathers of the open society foundations22:14
