About Deepin Open Source Project Development Process Migration

中文版

Hi everyone!

As mentioned earlier, we are improving our workflow with the deepin community to make it more open and transparent, and to make it easier for everyone to participate in the deepin open source community. In the first phase, we plan to validate and process the GitHub issues we deposited, and now that the first phase is basically over, we plan to migrate the development process of all deepin community open source projects back to GitHub in batches to make it easier to accept pull requests from the community. We will also be improving the documentation to make it easier for the community to understand the process and participate in it. This announcement will cover our plans for this, including a list of projects that have already migrated their development process to GitHub and a list of projects that we plan to migrate in the near future.

Migration Progress

Note: Items marked with ✅ are projects that finished the GitHub migration progress

In fact, we have been gradually migrating a number of projects in February and March, and the projects that have already undergone migration include:

At the same time, we are planning to migrate the development process of as many projects corresponding to the DDE components to GitHub in April, and currently plan to include the following projects.

The above projects are the list of projects we plan to migrate in April, we will complete the migration as soon as possible and will update the migration status in this post occasionally. We still have some projects that are not on the list above, and the projects not listed will be migrated after the migration tasks on the list above are completed. If you have any questions about any of the topics listed above, please feel free to reply to this post or start a new thread in the discussion forum to discuss your feedback with us. We'll make sure to eventually migrate the development process of all deepin community open source projects to GitHub to make it easier to build a better DDE/deepin with our community contributors!

Thanks for following alone! The development platform migration is all finished now, hopefully it will make contribution easier.

This thread will be un-pinned for now. If you still have anything related to the migration process, or need any help about contributing to deepin/DDE, please feel free to create a new discussion or issue thread in the developer-center repo, or drop as a mail in the deepin-devel mailing list, and we'll glad to help you out :)
