jmri / contributors Goto Github PK

We are migrating the JMRI source code from Subversion hosted at SourceForge to Git hosted at GitHub, most likely in early to mid-September.

To migrate from Subversion to Git we need to create a file that lists the contributors to JMRI at SourceForge with their identities in Git format. This file has been started at https://github.com/JMRI/contributors/blob/master/authors-transform.txt by listing everyone who has committed a change to the JMRI source code at SourceForge. This file is in the format, with one user per line:

sourceforge-username = Real Name <email-address>

for example:

rhwood = Randall Wood <[email protected]>

This file needs to be reasonably complete before we migrate JMRI.

You can help with this migration by doing the following before September 4th:

1. Sign up to GitHub if you do not already have a GitHub account.
2. Edit the contributor’s file to update your personal information at https://github.com/JMRI/contributors/edit/master/authors-transform.txt, saving your change by clicking “Propose file change”

More information about the migration will be available as we develop the plans for this migration.
