StackForge
##########
StackForge is the way that OpenStack related projects can consume and
make use of the OpenStack project infrastructure. This includes Gerrit
code review, Jenkins continuous integration, GitHub repository
mirroring, and various small things like IRC bots, pypi uploads, RTFD
updates. Projects should make use of StackForge if they want to run
their project with Gerrit code review and have a trunk gated by Jenkins.
StackForge projects are expected to be self sufficient when it comes to
configuring Gerrit/Jenkins/Zuul etc. The openstack-infra team can
provide assistance as resources allow, but should not be relied on.
What StackForge is not:
* Official endorsement of a project by OpenStack.
* A guarantee of eventual OpenStack incubation (though it is a good
first step in that process as it exposes the project to the
OpenStack way of doing things).
Note that StackForge and official OpenStack projects were previously
segregated into two separate git namespaces (stackforge/ and
openstack/). They now both occupy the openstack/ namespace though
this does not indicate that all such projects are official OpenStack
projects; it merely indicates that they are developed within the
OpenStack project infrastructure. Projects must apply to the
Technical Committee to become official OpenStack projects.
Audience
********
The focus of StackForge is to provide a place for OpenStack contributors
to maintain related unofficial projects using the same tools and
procedures as they employ when working on official OpenStack projects,
to make it easier for other OpenStack developers to contribute effort to
those projects and in some cases to ease a project's path to incubation
and official integration. As such, the target audience for this document
is current OpenStack developers who are assumed to already be familiar
with how changes are uploaded and reviewed within OpenStack projects. As
an introduction to OpenStack contribution, it is recommend to first read
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/How_To_Contribute and then
the `Developer's Guide <http://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/developers.html>`_.

Unofficial Project Hosting
##########################
Unoffocial project hosting is the way that OpenStack related projects can
consume and make use of the OpenStack project infrastructure. This
includes Gerrit code review, Zuul continuous integration, GitHub
repository mirroring, and various small things like IRC bots, pypi uploads,
RTFD updates. Projects should make use of being an unofficial project if
they want to run their project with Gerrit code review and have a trunk
gated by Zuul.
Unofficial projects are expected to be self sufficient when it comes to
configuring Gerrit/Zuul etc. The openstack-infra team can provide
assistance as resources allow, but should not be relied on.
What being an unoffocial project is not:
* Official endorsement of a project by OpenStack.
* A guarantee of eventual inclusion as an official OpenStack project
(though it is a good first step in that process as it exposes the project
to the OpenStack way of doing things and tooling).
Historical Background
*********************
Previously unofficial projects were hosted as part of "Stackforge" which
had its own namespace in Gerrit and Github (stackforge/). It is common
for unofficial projects to become official projects and when that happened
with the old stackforge/ namespace we had to perform Gerrit downtimes to
rename things to use the openstack/ namespace. In response to this we
collapsed the stackforge/ namespace into the openstack/ namespace. This
means both unofficial projects and official projects are hosted under the
openstack/ namespace in Gerrit and Github. This means that not all
projects under openstack/ are official OpenStack projects they are instead
simply hosted by the OpenStack project infrastructure.
Eventually the TC decided to completely deprecate the Stackforge name
though you may still hear it being used as short hand for "Unofficial
Project".
