find a new home for all repos #21

kennethreitz · 2019-07-17T17:56:02Z

In the spirit of transparency, I'd like to (publicly) find a new home for my repositories. I want to be able to still make contributions to them, but no longer be considered the "owner" or "arbiter" or "BDFL" of these repositories.

Some notable repos:

tl;dr: all repositories under the 'not-kennethreitz' org on github (https://github.com/not-kennethreitz) are effectively 'up for grabs'.

Considerations for maintainer selection:

I will select you (or your organization) to maintain the project if you have a standing history of contributing to open source software, show enthusiasm / meager eagerness to learn, or have an interest in keeping the given project alive.
Some projects have domains associated with them. These are included in the transfer.
I am currently looking for a job (me@kennethreitz.org!), and my operating funds are very low. Therefore, if you or your organization are open to the idea of monetary exchange for ownership of a repo / pypi project, please email me. I am considering this an unlikely and rare situation. Only serious offers will be considered, and money won't influence maintainer-ship decisions.

As these are now community projects, I want the future of these projects to be influenced by the community — so please say something if you feel strongly about the future of any of these projects.

Many thanks,
Kenneth Reitz

dibs on requests 🤔

kennethreitz · 2019-07-17T18:17:59Z

@mitsuhiko that'd be an interesting outcome :)

In all seriousness, are you still interested in the Python community? I haven't talked to you in a while. If you want it, it's yours to take care of. But, it's a large burden to bear. Perhaps the modern rendition of Pocoo would be able to handle it?

oldani · 2019-07-17T18:27:01Z

I can help to take care of requests-html, I follow you in contributions to that projects and would like to keep improving it once async/requests library support is defined.

kennethreitz · 2019-07-17T18:29:24Z

PyTheory is going to @Zelgius. He'll take good care of it.

kennethreitz · 2019-07-17T18:29:52Z

Spread the stars outwards! 🌟

kennethreitz · 2019-07-17T18:30:26Z

@oldani excellent. Many thanks. I'll wait to see if anyone else is interested in Requests-HTML before initiating the transfer.

dcramer · 2019-07-17T18:31:37Z

If @BYK is willing Sentry can offer management of requests-related repositories. He's the first member of our open source team here, which will certainly be growing over time. We'd leave core contributions and management up to the community, but we'd help maintain the larger organizational aspects (such as CoC, any financial concerns).

kennethreitz · 2019-07-17T18:32:35Z

@dcramer fantastic news. Can you send an intro email to me@kennethreitz.org?

kennethreitz · 2019-07-17T18:34:33Z

@oldani you must delete your fork in order for me to transfer to you.

navdeep-G · 2019-07-17T18:39:14Z

What is a good one for me to get involved with @kenneth-reitz ?

kennethreitz · 2019-07-17T18:40:06Z

@navdeep-G setup.py is a good one.

kennethreitz · 2019-07-17T18:40:54Z

mead is being taken over by @abdounasser202

navdeep-G · 2019-07-17T18:42:35Z

@kenneth-reitz Thx, I guess I call "dibs" on that one?

kennethreitz · 2019-07-17T18:43:23Z

@navdeep-G transfer initiated! ✨ 🍰 ✨ enjoy the github stars!!

kennethreitz · 2019-07-17T18:49:50Z

@taoufik07 is taking over responder!

kobayashi · 2019-07-17T18:54:27Z

Can I have a chance to involve more to any repo @kenneth-reitz ?

kennethreitz · 2019-07-17T18:57:01Z

Can you explain what you mean in more detail, @kobayashi?

oldani · 2019-07-17T19:00:15Z

@oldani you must delete your fork in order for me to transfer to you.

Done and many thanks for creating the package initially, I will keep it great for sure:)

tomchristie · 2019-07-17T19:07:12Z

Yo. The python-http organization would also be a excellent place for requests to land up. I can put together a proper proposal about how we'd plan to tackle funding, maintainance etc.

I'd really like to deal with requests3, since that's pretty much what I've been working towards with http3 anyways.

abdounasser202 · 2019-07-17T19:09:37Z

mead is being taken over by @abdounasser202

I deleted the forked mead repo. Now i'm waiting for transfer

kobayashi · 2019-07-17T19:13:59Z

Can you explain what you mean in more detail, @kobayashi?

I mean I do want to take care of one of not-kennethreitz. Is there chance to do that? All of them are great! @kennethreitz

vinayak-mehta · 2019-07-17T19:22:50Z

I can look over tablib! camelot's export API was inspired from tablib :) Would love to integrate tablib more closely with camelot to support more export formats!

ewdurbin · 2019-07-17T19:28:54Z

Hello @kennethreitz! Given the cumulative impact that these projects have on the Python ecosystem at large, the Python Software Foundation would like to offer to accept transfers of these repositories into the @psf GitHub organization.

This organization was recently acquired by the Python Software Foundation and intended to provide administrative backstopping for projects in the ecosystem; existing maintainers of various projects will remain and the PSF staff will be available to manage repositories and teams as necessary.

We are working to finalize a few things but could be ready as soon as early next week. Thoughts?

kennethreitz · 2019-07-17T19:47:53Z

@ewdurbin sold :)

taoufik07 · 2019-07-17T19:50:32Z

I really would like to see @tomchristie taking the reins of requests3 either under encode or the psf, regarding requests I think many cool orgs like the psf, encode or pocoo can provide the long term support and handle the burden !

and I support @ewdurbin proposition !

atugushev · 2019-07-17T20:25:19Z

Maybe https://jazzband.co/ ?

/cc @jezdez

madsmtm · 2019-07-17T20:35:57Z

Hi @ewdurbin. Since @python's recent acquirement of black, and the fact that a lot of other core community projects exist in that organisation, it'd be nice if you, or someone else, could elaborate on the difference between that and the new @psf organisation?

Sorry to bother if you were already planning on doing so 😉

ewdurbin · 2019-07-17T20:41:15Z

@madsmtm that's an excellent point! Indeed black moved to /python recently and was actually the impetus for the creation of the /psf namespace. The /psf organization is intended to support broader Python ecosystem interests that don't relate to the core language itself. Overtime we'll be moving many repos out of /python into /psf (for community projects) and /pyfound (for internal PSF concerns) to better namespace our GitHub presence.

navdeep-G · 2019-07-17T21:23:45Z

Assuming these are the remaining up for grab repos? https://github.com/not-kennethreitz?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=&type=source&language= @kennethreitz

sentriz · 2019-07-19T12:45:32Z

thank you kindly Kenneth :) I won't do you dirty

navdeep-G · 2019-07-19T13:44:54Z

@kennethreitz any chance for https://github.com/not-kennethreitz/samplemod?

navdeep-G · 2019-07-19T14:34:47Z

Thx for the transfer of samplemod @kennethreitz ! However, the link indicates that it has expired. Can you try again?

kennethreitz · 2019-07-19T14:36:05Z

@navdeep-G try again :)

navdeep-G · 2019-07-19T16:25:22Z

@kennethreitz Any chance for these? https://github.com/not-kennethreitz/showme, https://github.com/not-kennethreitz/eng_join, https://github.com/not-kennethreitz/spark.py, and https://github.com/not-kennethreitz/flask-googlefed? These all seem very interesting to me.

BlitzKraft · 2019-07-19T18:26:46Z

@kennethreitz Done. Deleted my fork of saythanks.io.

inishchith · 2019-07-20T17:59:12Z

@kennethreitz I am interested in taking over https://github.com/not-kennethreitz/em-keyboard and https://github.com/not-kennethreitz/autoenv. (I see they're archived, but I feel improvements can be made).

jezdez · 2019-07-23T12:13:28Z

Maybe jazzband.co ?

Hey there, Jazzband would surely be a possible place to transfer projects to, assuming the project in question follows the Jazzband guidelines. I'm happy to answer if specific projects are a good fit based on my experience of the past ~35 projects. Feel free to open a ticket so all Jazzband members can chime in if they want.

hbg · 2019-07-25T23:30:19Z

@kennethreitz we need this to happen 😜

hearot · 2019-07-27T16:30:42Z

Are there any other repos that I could maintain?

josegonzalez · 2019-07-31T20:51:23Z

If PSF isn't willing or available for it, I would be happy to take the records project. I use it in some side projects and would love to be able to continue its development.

ghost · 2019-08-01T15:38:15Z

I would like to request for the following repos in the @not-kennethreitz organization:

(Ranked by preference)

If any of these repos would be transferred to my account, I would certainly be infinitely thankful 👍 👍 👍

Thanks!!!

@kennethreitz

hbg · 2019-08-02T00:57:23Z

@kennethreitz I'd love to maintain https://github.com/not-kennethreitz/sublime-tomorrow-night-italics-theme <3

greyli · 2019-08-02T01:06:56Z

@kennethreitz I would like to take flask-sslify, since it's unmaintained and doesn't support Flask app factory, I'm willing to make it live. Thanks!

Zenith00 · 2019-08-06T21:16:37Z

@kennethreitz any chance for genome? :D

10/10 would spend $5 and host a Promethease report of kenneth reitz's DNA

josegonzalez · 2019-08-30T18:49:37Z

Re-requesting records be transferred to me :)

frostming · 2019-09-18T07:13:26Z

Just found another project that is not listed above. I would like to request for the ownership of https://pypi.org/project/pytest-pypi/, which doesn't have a GH repo.

BlitzKraft · 2019-10-09T18:18:20Z

@kennethreitz I was transferred the ownership of saythanks.io; I would like to have the domain and hosting active. How should we handle this? I am willing to contribute to the operating costs.

westurner · 2020-01-11T05:09:08Z

Hey what's the status on requests3? I notice that issues are disabled on the repo? Is requests3 also a candidate for PSF maintainership? Could requests3 be a fork of requests that the psf/requests maintainers could handle issues and PRs for?

@westurner interesting question. It's pretty far along (it works, with httpx as the underlying transport library). It just needs a lot of polish.

bisguzar · 2020-01-11T17:30:23Z

@kennethreitz I'm maintaining your twitter-scraper project but I don't have permissions to push new versions to PyPI. check out bisguzar/twitter-scraper#81 please

Re-requesting hypermark be transferred to me 👍

kennethreitz · 2020-01-16T03:53:50Z

@bisguzar this should be resolved now.

It's unmaintained (archived) and I would like to remake it and improve it
Thanks!
