[openlp-dev] Moving to GitLab/Licensing

[Raoul Snyman]

Hi everyone,

I've created a page on our wiki[0] to keep track of our move to GitLab. 
We've already moved the documentation[1] over to GitLab, and we've set 
up CI[2] and deployment[3] for it. It's working great so far.

I've just kinda written names down next to projects on the list of 
things that need to be moved to GitLab. If you're interested in looking 
into moving a project into GitLab, please add your name to the list on 
the wiki, and send a mail to the mailing list so that others know you're 
wanting to work on it, and can co-ordinate.

We would like to move the main "lp:openlp" repository to GitLab by the 
1st of June. Tim, Tomas, Philip and I will be going through the merge 
proposals on Launchpad and where they still make sense we will be 
merging them. Please try to be responsive, as we would like to get this 
done as soon as possible so that we don't have to delay the move.

I know that there are some merge proposals which are not yet ready for 
merging. If you can, try to get it to a point where it is ready. If it's 
not yet ready, let's discuss our options (I'm thinking extracting a 
patch and applying it to your git repository might work best).

Additionally, we're still hoping to re-license OpenLP as GPL 3 on the 
1st of May. Bastian has submitted a large merge proposal[4] on Launchpad 
which changes the license text in all the files. This will be merged on 
the 1st of May.
