Tungsten Fabric Archival

• Introduction

  • The meeting was opened with a detailed explanation of the archival process for the Tungsten Fabric Project following the decision taken by the Technical Steering Committee (TSC).

• Maintaining Active Services

  • It was announced that the Tungsten Fabric website, wiki, and mailing list will remain active for an additional year following the archival decision. This period will allow community members to engage in necessary communications, review the project's documentation, and backup any relevant content as required.

• Decommission of Services

  • The meeting outlined that, with the exception of the website, wiki, and mailing list, all other Tungsten Fabric services will be decommissioned within 30 days from the final decision date. This includes Gerrit, which will undergo a final full mirror sync to GitHub before being marked as archived and subsequently shut down.

• Archiving Mailing List

  • At the conclusion of the one-year period, it was clarified that the mailing list will be archived within the project repository. This decision was made to ensure the preservation of historical discussions and decisions associated with the Tungsten Fabric project.

• Conclusion

  • The meeting concluded with an acknowledgment of the considerable efforts made by all members of the Tungsten Fabric community throughout the life of the project. The Linux Foundation reiterated its commitment to assisting with this transition, ensuring the continued availability of important project information and support for community members throughout the process.

• The minutes of this meeting will be shared with the broader community to ensure everyone is informed about the archival process and timelines.
