Can you please remove this account?

I want to create an "organisation" with the name "phpvirtualbox" so that we can transfer the existing codebase into it and manage it as a group.

However, it seems you have created both a user and an empty repository under that name, neither of which has been used in 18 months.

Unfortunately, Github doesn't let me create an organisation if a user with the same name exists already.

Considering this account is empty, would you mind completely deleting it so we can use the name?

If you are interested in contributing to the phpvirtualbox project, you would be more than welcome to join the new organisation when I'm able to create it.

Thanks!

Cheers,
Tudor.

Bump. How's that going? :-)

Any infos on that?

[h6w]

Bumping again. Can we please do this ASAP? Thanks!

It turns out I don't own the phpvirtualbox account. It may be a squatter. Someone also picked up phpvirtualbox.org and offered to sell it to me

[h6w]

Hallo @imoore76! Yes. It's not you. I've messaged that person and they agreed to close the account, but so far it hasn't happened. I have messaged github to see if they can take that as proof of intent and convert it to an organisation for me. I'll keep everyone posted.

Ive transferred the repo. Thanks for taking over. I really don't have the time anymore

@imoore76 No worries. I'll leave you as one of the owners of the organisation in case I fall under a bus someday and the project needs rescuing. :-) Thanks so much for all your work.

Is it possible you can send the SF details to tudor@tudorholton.com? Once I've migrated the questions to GitHub, I want to point the issues page to Github so we don't have duplicate issues being posted in future.

So where is the new repository now? ist it phpvirtualbox/phpvirtualbox? There is an open pull req for 5.1. Anyone knows what's happening there?

[h6w]

@DerMozart Yes. The correct repository is phpvirtualbox/phpvirtualbox. I've been looking at the pull request.
