Looking for a new maintainer

[lkolbly]

Much though I would like to pretend, it is now apparent to me that I haven't the time or resources to maintain this crate like it deserves. It's been a great run and the community has really turned this into a crate to be proud of.

So, if anyone wants to take over ownership of this crate, let me know!

Hello @lkolbly,

Thank you for letting us know.

i concur, what has been achieved with this project is already outstanding.

As far as i'm concerned, it is quite important that this repo does not to die, considering I have 3 applications depending on it.

I'd be willing to take a more active part in the project, but I can only see it work if this is a joint effort (at least another person, probably in the form of an "organization"). For the simple reason I only operate ublox at the user end level to this day, I am not super knowledgeable about the macros you guys developed. That would obviously change if I have to dig into it, I just have not operated the lib at this level as of today.

I'm thinking of @reitermarkus @adrian-kong @maximeborges who also provided significant contributions to this project, what would be your take on this ?

[maximeborges]

I could help for some technical bug/features, but I don't want to be the day-to-day maintainer for this lib. I'd happily join an org for helping though.

[reitermarkus]

I'd say creating an organization (I'm guessing ublox-rs is still free) is the best course of action.

[gwbres]

I agree.

@lkolbly what do you think about the idea of transferring to a ublox-rs organization? you're obviously more than welcome onboard

[sebastient]

Curious if there's been any movement on this outside this thread?

Not that I'm aware of.

@lkolbly, what do you think of transfering this crate to a github orgnization?

I would also be interested to contribute and a github organization would be a nice way forward.

[adrian-kong]

I agree, I would be interested as well

[silverjam]

Also interested in helping with maintenance

[lkolbly]

Yeah, a github organization probably makes sense. I created the ublox-rs organization and moved this repo to it.

would it be possible for the people who have shown and still show interests, to join in ?

@lkolbly , would you be so kind and willing to add some of the more active users of this repo to he organization ? It is a pity if this crate gets forked further in order to add new features & fix issues.

[lkolbly]

Sorry, yes of course. I just invited @gwbres as admin.

[lkolbly]

I'm not sure if I need to add maintainers to the cargo separately, or if crates.io will pick up on the organization. We'll see.

[gwbres]

Hello @lkolbly,

Thank you for the invite. Ideally we should join the organization aswell, so we can publish new versions of the code in the future

I'm not sure if I need to add maintainers to the cargo separately, or if crates.io will pick up on the organization. We'll see.

The process is for the owner to declare a new owner, with cargo owner. For example, add the ublox-rs organization.

[lkolbly]

I just setup a new team under the organization, and added it to the ublox and ublox-derive crates.
