Hi all, As indicated in [1] Les would like to keep the name logback-extensions for the umbrella project *not* requiring CLAs residing *outside* the ch.qos namespace. Out of deference to his original initiative of creating logback-extensions in the first place, we should abide by his request. We still have to find a name for the second umbrella project. How about the name "logback-contrib" as Tony suggested? This second umbrella project would be reserved for original contributions from developers with CLAs and would reside under the ch.qos namespace. Now, loggly/ and spring/ need to remain in logback-extensions and their groupId and package names have to change as to reside outside the "ch.qos" namespace. However, the eclipse, jackson/, json/ and mongodb/ projects have the option of moving to the second umbrella project (logback-contrib?) and continue to remain under the ch.qos namespace. Tony, please let us know where you would like to have eclipse/. Christian, Tomasz where youd you like to host mongodb/? Les, where would you like to host jackson/ and json/? BTW, if any of the above is confusing do not hesitate to ask questions. [1] http://tinyurl.com/9f6cve2 On 12.09.2012 00:01, Christian Trutz wrote:
+1 for releasing /mongodb under ch.qos.logback.extensions groupID in Maven Central.

Hello all,
Following up on a discussion on github [1], it seems reasonable to split the logback-extensions project into two separate umbrella projects with CLAs on file serving as the only separation criteria. The split does not have any relation to code quality or community health.
The list of contributors with CLA on file can be found at [2]. Looking at the logback-extensions umbrella project, it appears that the following projects have been contributed by developers with CLAs on file
eclipse/ (Tony Trinh) jackson/ (Les Hazlewood) json/ (Les Hazlewood, Pierre Quinnec) mongodb/ (Christian Trutz, Tomasz Nurkiewicz)
as such, I propose that they remain in logback-extensions and be released under the ch.qos.logback.extensions groupID in Maven Central. If any contributor feels that the second umbrella project (see below) would be a better home, he/they is/are welcome to move to the second umbrella project and without prejudice.
The following project contains contributions from developers without CLAs non file
loggly/ (Les Hazlewood, Marten Gustafson) spring/ (Les Hazlewood, Bryan Turner, Juergen Hoeller)
Marten Gustafson, Bryan Turner and Juergen Hoeller do not have CLAs on file. I propose that these projects be moved to a new umbrella project named logback-stuff/logback-etcetera/logback-sundries. We still have to determine the name. This project will be released under a groupId outside the "ch.qos" namespace.
Given that this split bears no relation to code quality or community health, contributions should pick the umbrella project that pleases them most.
Before going forward with the split, we must first pick a name for the second umbrella project. Here are the names I find suitable: logback-stuff, logback-etcetera and logback-sundries. Are there other suggestions for names?
Cheers,
