00:56 <bnieuwenhuizen_> Hey we got an email from an aspiring contributor who has forking issues: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2023-July/226041.html I suspect this is due to the anti-spam stuff we have? Could someone with the right permissions engage?

07:08 <bentiss> bnieuwenhuizen_: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freedesktop/freedesktop/-/wikis/home -> please make that user open a 'User Verification Issue'

08:07 <bochecha> hi everyone, hope you're all good :)

08:08 <bochecha> I was wondering about gitlab.freedesktop.org, is it opened for new projects? or just for the offocial xdg things like specs, wayland, etc... ?

08:11 <bochecha> (I had started migrating some projects away from github some time ago to gitlab.freedesktop.org as I'm trying to move away from github and my projects (a Linux input method for Chinese) would be a better fit for something like gitlab.freedesktop.org, but that's assuming you would all accept it there, and I don't think I ever asked for permission at the time :-/

08:12 <bochecha> and after I started, I got sick and spent 2 years in a hospital for reeducation, and so I could never get back to it... :(

08:13 <bochecha> so, here I am, belatedly, adking whether gitlab.freedesktop.org would welcome the *cangjie projects (libcangjie, pycangjie and ibus-cangjie) :)

08:29 <bentiss> bochecha: I'm not in the board but this looks like a compatible with fdo project, so I don't see a reason why refusing it.

08:30 <bentiss> bochecha: please open a bug against freedesktop/freedesktop requesting for a new group ("new project" template)

08:58 <emersion> you could also just host under your user namespace if you prefer'

13:01 <bochecha> bentiss, I have a new group already : https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/cangjie/

13:02 <bochecha> there are a few projects inside already :)

13:02 <bentiss> bochecha: then you are all set :)

13:03 <bochecha> ah ok, so I can go ahead and import the other projects ?

13:03 <bochecha> it's not a problem I nee

13:03 <bentiss> bochecha: yes, you are owner of this group, and we trust you to manage it properly :)

13:04 <bochecha> it's not a problem I never ask for permission at the time ?

13:04 <bochecha> maybe I did, i just can't remember, because brain issue at the time when I got sick :(

13:05 <bentiss> it was probably automatically created when the big migration started

13:05 <bentiss> or it was asked

13:06 <bentiss> but anyway, the group is there, you are free to use it

13:08 <bochecha> ok, thank you :)
