Move fsprojects/Fabulous to fsharp-mobile org

[TimLariviere]

Recently, I created the organisation fsharp-mobile. It aims to regroup all the efforts around improving toolings and frameworks for desktop and mobile development with F#.

I am already hosting most of the work I did over the years such as the F# mobile templates, 3rd party support and additional variants for Fabulous.

I would also like the main Fabulous repository to join this organisation if that's okay.

Tagging for visibility just in case @sergey-tihon @dsyme

I do not mind personally. (Awesome work with Fabulous btw)

Just would be nice to have more than one admin for fsharp-mobile organization and more than one owner for packager published from new repos (in order to guarantee continuity)

[TimLariviere]

@edgarfgp is joining me as admin of the org. I will create a shared owner account on NuGet as well.

Edit: Created an org account on NuGet https://www.nuget.org/profiles/fsharp-mobile

Interesting and good move!

[dsyme]

You could maybe adopt a set of policies for the org, eg similar to the ones we use here?

Might be good to add one extra backup owner not actively involved in development just in case things chshte in 5 years or so - myself, or Sergey, or Tomas Petricek or similar - someone who can ask around for continuity maintainers if needed.

Please check fsharp.org for links that need adjusting

[TimLariviere]

Adopting the same policies (except for the incubation part) is a good idea. I did not think this far yet, but requiring 2 admins, docs, tests, licensing and FSSF CoC are great to have.

@dsyme would you be interested to join as a backup admin, since you originally created Fabulous?

For fsharp.org, I'll submit a PR once Fabulous is moved to the new org.

[dsyme]

@TimLariviere I'm happy to be backup backup yes :)

[dsyme]

@TimLariviere Can you do the move or do you need our help for that?

[TimLariviere]

@dsyme I have sent an invite to you.

Can you do the move or do you need our help for that?

I would need your help. I don't have the rights to do the transfer.

[dsyme]

@TimLariviere I've transferred ownership!

@TimLariviere On naming - I wonder if "fsharp-apps" or "fsapps" or "fsharp-appdev" or similar would be a better name for the org.

(Somehow "fsapps" would match "fslab" and "fsprojects" though there's no particular need to align along that dimension).

I do think "fabulous" is a really good name so in theory you could also call the whole org "fabulous-apps" or something but I know there's more under the org than just the things we originally called "fabulous" so it would take some shifting of words.

[sergey-tihon]

👍 for "fabulous-apps" or just "fabulous".

We already have fsharp/fsharp so why not fabulous/fabulous...

[TimLariviere]

@dsyme Awesome! Thanks a lot.

I would love to call the org fabulous but unfortunately that name is already taken. Initially I called the org fabulousfx but someone pointed out it was confusing because we have a couple templates and packages that are not tied to Fabulous.

I'm discussing with @edgarfgp about this.

For now, I feel like fsharp-mobile conveys the idea behind the org better.

[dsyme]

The problem with "fsharp-mobile" is it's both too much and too little - there will be other approaches to mobile (fable-based especially), and the headline of the org is "mobile and desktop"

I think you could simply change the meaning of "fabulous" to be broader and incorporate what you want.

[TimLariviere]

That's a good point. We settled on the name fabulous-dev, which matches the website https://fabulous.dev

[TimLariviere]

Closing the issue since the transfer has been done. Thanks a lot :)
