Now that we have opencompany.org (#59) , we should start using it.

[x] transfer opencompany.org to @timothyfcook
[ ] ~~figure out with @timothyfcook how we do the accounting for this~~ Depends on #76, let's deal with this over there.
[x] configure DNS for opencompany.org
[x] configure DNS for opencompany.biz (redirect to opencompany.org)
[x] rename Twitter account to ~~OpenCoInitiative~~ (matches the full name we're using on Twitter). Went with OpenCompanyOrg due to Twitter character limit
[x] rename Gittip account to ~~OpenCoInitiative~~ (to match Twitter). Went with OpenCompany to match GitHub.

Can you set the DNS to 204.232.175.78 ? It will take less time to change the URL in the code and the CNAME file than the DNS to propagate.

chadwhitacre commented 10 years ago

@kyzh Better to use a CNAME, no?

I've added tasks to the description for this ticket. Most of them involve @timothyfcook. Maybe another coworking day soon, Tim?

kyzh commented 10 years ago

Sorry for the confusion above. I meant CNAME as the file named CNAME not the reccord.

(Note: I tried to put more than one domain name in that file, that doesn't work)

chadwhitacre commented 10 years ago

Ah, okay. I meant CNAME instead of an A record for 204.232.175.78.

P.S. Thanks for working with me on this. Great to have someone else involved. :-) @timothyfcook Can we please add @kyzh to https://www.gittip.com/opencompanybiz/members/?

kyzh commented 10 years ago

timothyfcook commented 10 years ago

Thanks @timothyfcook !

galuszkak commented 10 years ago

Would love to see it working. Now on repos there are URL-s that mislead users like me ;).

chadwhitacre commented 10 years ago

We transferred opencompany.org from my Godaddy account to Tim's NearlyFreeSpeech.NET account, and we've got a day or two for the transfer to go through, we think. DNS is configured at NFS for GitHub pages, so once the transfer is done we should be good to go on that.

It'd be great to smart-redirect www.opencompany.biz to .org to preserve paths. We can't do that with GH pages, we could do that with a Heroku app though.

chadwhitacre commented 10 years ago

I realized I could/should just change DNS at GoDaddy as well as at NFS, so I did. Waiting for propagation ...

chadwhitacre commented 10 years ago

I just changed the CNAME to .org. Waiting for GitHub to notice ...

chadwhitacre commented 10 years ago

@timothyfcook Once this is done, www.opencompany.biz will be 404 at GH pages. Can you change it to redirect to www.opencompany.org instead?

chadwhitacre commented 10 years ago

@timothyfcook We should also update the homepage listed for https://twitter.com/OpenCompanyOrg.

kyzh commented 10 years ago

@whit537 I created #opencompanyorg on IRC, invited people over and contacted @botbotme .

~~The IRC reference and gittip links to be fixed.
Same goes for the tanslations~~ Done

chadwhitacre commented 10 years ago

@kyzh How about shortening to #opencompany instead? I think we should prefer that where it's available.

galuszkak commented 10 years ago

opencompany is free and I also think it's better ;)

clone1018 commented 10 years ago

+1 for #opencompany

Thanks, Luke Strickland

@whit537 @galuszkak @clone1018 the channel is already register to someone else. I will try to get in touch with the owner see if has a use of the channel. We can use #opencompany, but i cannot op, change the topic etc..

kyzh commented 10 years ago

Actually it was registered by Eric Meltzer (@wheatpond http://theopencompany.net/). I will ask him on twitter what his toughs are about it.

steveklabnik commented 10 years ago

According to Freenode guidelines, non-open source software projects should use a ## for channel names. As we're not exactly one of those, ##opencompany makes sense.

kyzh commented 10 years ago

@steveklabnik I like it, it is now registered. I commited the change, but did not regenerated the content (don't want to do the same workaround from #80 ).

kyzh commented 10 years ago

@whit537 the statement on gittip is not reflecting the URL change.

chadwhitacre commented 10 years ago

@kyzh Not sure why that was. It's updated now though afaict.

chadwhitacre commented 10 years ago

With the redirect in place (Twitter) I think this is done! :dancer:

kyzh commented 10 years ago

@whit537 re-gittip statement: The link is on the old URL and seems to point to https://www.gittip.com/OpenCompany/www.opencompany.biz

chadwhitacre commented 10 years ago

@timothyfcook ^^^?

timothyfcook commented 10 years ago

Fixed! Any other outstanding references? Although, since it redirects, could be fun to leave a .biz out there in the world...

opencompany / www.opencompany.org

convert from opencompany.biz to opencompany.org #62

opencompany is free and I also think it's better ;)
