New Home on GitHub for OpenTreeMap Repositories

[Andrew Thompson]

Hello OpenTreeMap Community Members,

You may have noticed that the OTM2 repository and its affiliates like the OTM2-tiler and ecobenefits have moved from the Azavea Github organization to the "new" OpenTreeMap Github organization.

While "permanence is but a word of degrees," most especially in software, we expect this to be certainly a very long-lasting change. With the increase in the number of repositories related to OTM2 and the OpenTreeMap ecosystem as a whole, the Azavea organization was starting to feel a bit crowded, with the OTM repos jumbled up with our other open source projects. We hope hosting all OpenTreeMap-related repositories in the new dedicated OpenTreeMap organization will make things simpler and less confusing.

We have not yet moved over the repositories for OTM1, or the Android or iOS apps yet, though we plan to do so within the next week or so.

The good news is that GitHub is very good about re-directing all requests to the previous location of a repository to the new location. So in many cases (if you've posted links elsewhere on the internet, for example) this change won't even be noticeable. As the Github docs say, however, these redirects can be confusing, so you can easily update the remote repository URL of your local clones with the following command:

$ git remote set-url remote_name new_url

As always, post here to the mailing list if you have questions or concerns.

Thanks,

Andrew
