OmniAuth Community organization

[md5]

As part of a recent discussion around the maintenance of the omniauth-saml provider gem (omniauth/omniauth-saml#67), a new @omniauth organization has been created.

Currently, this organization only houses the omniauth-saml gem (moved from PracticallyGreen/omniauth-saml), but I wanted to get the thoughts of the OmniAuth maintainers and other members of the OmniAuth user community regarding this change.

I could see it making sense to move some of the omniauth-* gems and perhaps omniauth itself to this organization, particularly given the "Improved Organization Permissions" functionality that GitHub rolled out in the middle of last year (see this post: https://github.com/blog/2020-improved-organization-permissions). With these permissions, it would be relatively straightforward to have a team per provider or teams that span multiple related providers while still controlling ownership access more strictly.

The last thing I would want to have happen is for anyone to get upset about this new organization, so that's why I'm raising the discussion here. I can't speak on behalf of other contributors to the new @omniauth organization, but I'm sure we all want to do what's best for the OmniAuth user community as a whole.

I would also be available to help maintain with my spare cycles from helping with Bundler

Sounds like a good idea. @sferik thoughts?

As the progenitor of OmniAuth but someone who should no longer have any say
in its development, I'm in favor :)

I’m all for it. What are the next steps to make this happen?

[bufferoverflow]

Just let me know which people are the omniauth maintainers and I create a team and add you to the @omniauth group.

[sferik]

@bufferoverflow I think that’s just: @mbleigh, @tmilewski, and me.

[bufferoverflow]

Ok, I've invited you and made this team: https://github.com/orgs/omniauth/teams/omniauth-maintainers
Now you should be able to move the repo.

[sferik]

@bufferoverflow Done: https://github.com/omniauth/omniauth.

[sferik]

@bufferoverflow Hmmm, I just tried to update the homepage in the gemspec but it seems like I lost push access to the repo. Can you please double-check the permissions?

[md5]

@sferik I've given the omniauth-maintainers team "Admin" access to the omniauth repository.

I think it would also be good to make one or more members of the core OmniAuth team "Owners" of the omniauth organization.

[md5]

@sferik I've gone ahead and made you an owner.

[sferik]

@md5 👍 I just successfully pushed to the repo: b9bc3bb.

[bufferoverflow]

👍 super cool! Thanks @md5 for helping out here!

[md5]

@sferik Excellent! Do you want to take care of adding the other OmniAuth committers to https://github.com/orgs/omniauth/teams/omniauth-maintainers?

[md5]

Wait, scratch that... I see that there are already pending invitations.

[bufferoverflow]

It's so cool that we did this together!
Do we have an OmniAuth logo that we can add to our omniauth organization account?

[bufferoverflow]

Just found that on the wiki, https://github.com/omniauth/omniauth/wiki

Is this the official logo?

[olivierlacan]

I believe it is. It would be nice if someone from Intridea could provide the source file. Or I could try to redraw it as an SVG.

I've added the logo to the omniauth organization account.

I think this can be closed.

[tmilewski]

Agreed, closing now.
