New organization required for this repository

[nblumhardt]

Hi @serilog/reviewers-raygun 👋

Via https://github.com/serilog/serilog/issues/1627 - we're unbundling the serilog organization to help distribute the effort involved in managing the various Serilog sub-projects. The serilog organization will now only manage the fundamental sinks and other packages that the rest of the ecosystem builds upon.

If this package is actively maintained, it can be moved to a new organization managed by the maintainers (ideally @MindscapeHQ). Otherwise, it can move to the serilog-archive parking lot, from where we hope a new community-run fork might spring from in the future 🌷 .

Let me know if you're a maintainer and keen to continue this project under a new org; otherwise, I'll shuffle things around and move this one to the archive.

Thanks!

Hey @nblumhardt

Thanks for reaching out. Raygun is able to take ownership of this Serilog sink. The GitHub repo can be managed under @MindscapeHQ, and the NuGet package listed here.

[nblumhardt]

Thanks for the reply, @QuantumNightmare! It looks like someone from @MindscapeHQ will need to perform the repository transfer - are you right person for that?

NuGet package is transferred 👍

[QuantumNightmare]

Interesting, I thought you'd just need to transfer ownership of this repository to the @MindscapeHQ org without needing to specify an individual. I don't have admin privileges in @MindscapeHQ for anything that needs to be actioned on that side, so try either @cmdrKeen or @turtlespin (they are both aware of this move). Nor do I have access to the Transfer Ownership controls of this repository as far as I can tell.

[nblumhardt]

Thanks @QuantumNightmare! I've invited @CmdrKeen to become an admin of this repo and perform the transfer (👋), and also invited the mindscapehq NuGet organization to become an owner of the package.

Because of "blue tick" requirements it'll take a little longer to remove the serilog org as a package owner; working with the NuGet team to do that in: https://github.com/NuGet/NuGetGallery/issues/8844.

Will likely continue this next week

[QuantumNightmare]

We have transferred this repository to the MindscapeHQ org.

@nblumhardt Is there anything else that's required to be transferred, e.g. AppVeyor or automated deployment to NuGet? I remember in the past there have been times when you'd needed to update NuGet authentication keys. Could you please point us towards how this is done if necessary.

[nblumhardt]

🎉 that's great, thanks for the update.

RE AppVeyor, you'll need to create a new project pointing to this repo - should be a very quick change, as all of the configuration is in appveyor.yml.

Following that, using your NuGet organization, create a new API key. Then in AppVeyor, go to Account > Encrypt YAML, encrypt the key, and copy the result into appveyor.yml.

Also good to remember to update the build badge in the README to point to the new CI project.

HTH, give me a yell if you get stuck on anything.

I'll follow up with the NuGet folks shortly about removing serilog as a package owner.

[nblumhardt]

Hi @QuantumNightmare - I've just realised that the NuGet.org transfer hasn't been accepted yet. Whoever manages the mindscapehq account on NuGet should have an email invitation to accept ownership - would it be possible to check in on this?

I'm coordinating with the NuGet team to get the serilog owner removed (bug around changing ownership of "blue tick" packages), so to avoid double-handling for them, I've temporarily added my own account nblumhardt as a co-owner, which one of us can remove once mindscapehq has accepted.

Thanks! :-)

[QuantumNightmare]

Hey @nblumhardt, thanks for pointing this out, we'd missed that email. We have now accepted the invitation to become an owner of the NuGet package. As a note, we are yet to set up AppVeyor.

[nblumhardt]

Thanks @QuantumNightmare! I've removed myself as an owner now. As far as I can tell this ticket is now complete.

Good luck with it, and let me know if there's ever anything I can help with.

[QuantumNightmare]

No worries and thanks to you too. Will get in touch if something comes up.
