Subject: [Crowbar] OpenCrowbar moved to Digital Rebar - continues under new name

Crowbar & OpenCrowbar Communities,

*You are invited to try out the Digital Rebar code
<https://github.com/digitalrebar/doc>. If you've been away for awhile,
this is a great time to come back because we've dramatically streamlined
the install.*

*Background: *


When the v2 code base forked nearly two years ago into OpenCrowbar, we
anticipated that the community would migrate to the new code base. It has
not turned out that way.

SUSE continues to evolve the v1 code base with a focus on OpenStack
installation and Chef server.

Meanwhile, RackN has lead the OpenCrowbar code base to embrace
heterogeneous tools, services, containers and container workloads.

This was causing confusion between two very different Crowbar versions.


*What's Changed?*

The RackN team felt that it was time for v2 to establish a new identify for
container-ready infrastructure and a new project name was appropriate.

Accordingly, we have moved the master OpenCrowbar/Core repo to
*DigitalRebar/Core*.

While little of the code has changed beyond the name, we have taken
advantage of this migration to cleanup and split out the documentation.
We've also made dramatic improvements to the install process. The new
installer and workloads are now being maintained by RackN. We've also been
able to secure the Digital Rebar name on Twitter, FQDN, IRC, Google Groups
and others. We are still cleaning things up: starting next week, we will
not be taking patches on OpenCrowbar.


I believe that Digital Rebar is perfectly positioned to make a real impact
in container-metal operations. And we're looking forward to seeing you in
the "new" project.

Rob
