Open to transferring the package?

[quinnj]

Hey @fredo-dedup, thanks for the package here. I needed support for draft7 of the spec, so started working on that locally and I think it's in a decent spot. I'm wondering if you'd be up for transferring ownership/maintenance of the package to the JuliaIO or JuliaServices github organizations? I'd like to add in the draftv7 code and do a new release. Happy to add you as an admin of the repo post-transfer if you're interested, whatever setup you're interested in (it feels like the package hasn't been maintained very much in a few years, which is the main reason I'm reaching out/suggesting the transfer).

I have commit access and the ability to make releases. I don’t have permission to transfer though

I sent an email to Frédéric. I don't think he comes on GitHub much (or at all) anymore.

Thanks Oscar. Let me know if/when/what you hear from him.

Hi Jacob, Oscar,
I certainly would be happy to transfer the package to an organization where it would be better taken care of.
Just tell me how to proceed and I'll do it.

(it's true that I haven't been around for a long time but it's nice to see your old projects are still useful and well maintained - thanks Oscar ! )

Go to https://github.com/fredo-dedup/JSONSchema.jl/transfer and follow the steps to transfer it to JuliaIO. Here's a screenshot of me trying to transfer a personal package of mine:

(I'm not sure if this will work. @quinnj may need to invite you to JuliaIO first.)

Hi @quinnj ,

Just tried transferring to JuliaIO but it says that I don't have permissions to create a public repo in JuliaIO. Perhaps you need to do something on your end ?

[quinnj]

I've added you to JuliaIO; I think you should be able to transfer now

[fredo-dedup]

I validated the transfer. Do you see it in JuliaIO now ?

All done! Thanks @fredo-dedup!
