There seems to be quite a bit of interest in keeping it. Which of those who feels it is important to keep the domain will work with ASF infra to get it transferred?
AFAIK there are two parts to this: 1. transfer the domain name to whatever registrar the ASF prefers 2. set up DNS entries for whatever DNs are desired For part #1, just let me know when to turn off the domain lock and I'll do it so that the registrar can be changed (it's with register.com right now). For #2 I'm not sure what the full list of DNS settings looks like as that has been handled by contegix for a while, so I guess whoever takes this on will need to research that and then send the details to the ASF to get it setup. -David On Apr 14, 2010, at 10:50 PM, David E Jones wrote: > > My current registration of the ofbiz.org domain expires on May 13th of this > year. > > This brings up a question: should we keep it around and keep using it, or let > it go (just all of the other ofbiz.* domain names that aren't anything > official related to the project)? > > There is certainly historical significance to it, but it really isn't needed > any more now that everything is under the official apache.org domain.
