Hi All,

As I've previously stated, today we are opening the vote for whether 
DSpace should move its codebase from SVN to GitHub. More information on 
what this means is below (see "What does this Migration to GitHub Mean?" 
section)

You may vote by responding to this email thread with one of the following:

+1  = I vote to migrate to GitHub
0   = I'm neutral (I don't really care one way or the other)
-1  = I'd rather DSpace codebase stay on SVN

Based on our Voting for Procedural/Policy Changes, this vote will pass 
if we receive more positive (+1) than negative (-1) votes.
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Developer+Voting+Procedures

VOTING WILL BE OPEN FOR ONE WEEK, UNTIL 20:00UTC ON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7.


= What Does this Migration to GitHub Mean? =

Essentially, if we vote to migrate the DSpace Codebase to GitHub, the 
following changes will occur:

1. All DSpace projects/modules/codebases that are still in active 
development will be migrated to https://github.com/DSpace/

2. The existing SVN codebases will be "archived" and made READ-ONLY (no 
more changes or future releases will occur in SVN).  This SVN archive 
will likely also be moved to: https://svn.duraspace.org/  (we can setup 
a redirect such that scm.dspace.org will redirect to the archived 
location).

3. All future development, releases (tags) & branches will occur in the 
DSpace GitHub projects. This means that any active DSpace developers 
will need to begin using this codebase instead of SVN.
