I’m fine with centralizing the libraries, but I wasn’t aware we were going to move to Google Code.<BR>
<BR>
Will Norris, Brian Ellin and I spent this week getting the PHP libraries mounted onto Github. Personally I really like the flexibility of git and it was easier to get started and accept patches, so unless there’s a really compelling reason, I’d like to keep it here:<BR>

<BR>
However, it has the same issues in that it’s using the OpenID logo, so we’d still need to go through this process I think.<BR>

My goals are to:<BR>

</SPAN></FONT><LI><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>increase activity and community involvement in contributions to the OpenID libraries
</SPAN></FONT><LI><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>make use of more collaboration-friendly source control systems (GitHub can be used as a feeder to the mainline Google Code repo)
</SPAN></FONT><LI><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>make sure that we have a transparent mechanism for recording and assigning bugs (OpenIDEnabled.com's trac setup returns a 404 for the login page: <a href="http://trac.openidenabled.com/trac/login">http://trac.openidenabled.com/trac/login</a>, and an account is required to submit new tickets)
</SPAN></FONT><LI><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>move away from darcs for simply checking out copies of the libraries
</SPAN></FONT><LI><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>etc.<BR>
</SPAN></FONT></OL><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>So, this motion boils down to granting Google the right to use the OpenID trademark on the Google Code project. <BR>
<BR>
If this motion passes, Dewitt will unlock the project and assign myself, Dave Recordon, Will Norris, Luke Shepard and Brian Ellin as the initial project admins. <BR>
<BR>
I will commit to migrating the content on OpenIDEnabled.com to either the Google Code wiki or the OpenID wiki itself.<BR>
<BR>
So, with that, I look forward to your +1's.<BR>
