GitHub user PsiACE created a discussion: [VOTE] Split out ofs as a standalone repository
Hi folks, As discussed in [#6617](https://github.com/apache/opendal/discussions/6617), we’d like to start a vote to **split out `ofs`** (currently under [`[bin/ofs](https://github.com/apache/opendal/tree/main/bin/ofs)`](https://github.com/apache/opendal/tree/main/bin/ofs)) into its own experimental repository under the Apache organization (As a sub-project of Apache OpenDAL). ### TL;DR `ofs` has been an experiment inside the main repo for a while. It’s built *on top of* OpenDAL, but it’s not following the same model. We expect it to explore some different ideas around file systems — and that’s perfectly fine as part of our umbrella organization. By moving it out: * We can iterate faster without impacting OpenDAL core; * It gets a clearer identity as an experimental project; * We can still share core components and infra (CI, docs, etc.). ### Proposal 1. Create a new repo `apache/ofs`; 2. Migrate existing code, tests, and workflows; 3. Keep it clearly marked as **experimental**. ### Note As part of this split, the related assets under the `integrations` directory — specifically `cloud_filter` and `fuse3` — will also be migrated into the new repository. This helps to separate concerns and maintain a cleaner project structure. ### Vote options * +1 — Yes, split out `ofs` as a standalone experimental repo * 0 — No opinion * -1 — No, keep it in the main repo (please explain why) **Voting period:** 72 hours from now. If this passes, we’ll proceed with the repo setup and migration. Thanks everyone for the discussion and support! — *Proposed by:* PsiACE GitHub link: https://github.com/apache/opendal/discussions/6657 ---- This is an automatically sent email for [email protected].
