Everyone seems to be ok with doing this sooner rather than later, so how about we pencil in the date of June 14th (next Friday)? That gives us enough time to figure out the parts we don't know as well as get notifications out to the relevant places. Things I think we need to figure out:
1) Exact repo structure. I think we've gotten a good discussion started on the wiki, but I'd like to see more input (and please, feel free to edit it mercilessly, this was all written based on my naïve understanding of how you guys work) 2) Who gets initial permissions on the repo(s). I've seen suggestions for a select list, all committers in 2013...any of these is fine by me. Remember this is permission for +2'ing and merging, all registered users will be able to submit changes for review (just like everywhere else in Gerrit) 3) What to do with submodules. A concise list of all the current externals will make this easier.
Thanks everyone!

One thing I didn't notice on the plan is that right now we have a lot of externals set up, some of which are also dependent on the Toolserver. Should we be converting these to git submodules? Or what?
If they're available via Git too, then yes, we can switch them over to
Git
submodules once everything's migrated. For stuff coming from SVN, we'll have to find another way (but it's not impossible).
Also, I added a comment on the page about giving all current commiters
+2
since that wasn't explicitly stated, and drafted a list on the talk page of some things we should do/update after the migration (update docs, update nightlies source, etc)
As I said on-wiki, that sounds like a reasonable list of people to start with for having +2 access on the repo. The group will be self-managing, so you guys can
add
new people to it as you see fit. The docs/nightlies stuff is more in your
guys'
court, but it's good to keep a list of such things, sure.
