Migrating to Gitlab
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions on the new ohwr.org site.
What was communicated via e-mail? Did I miss something?
The messages sent out on Feb 7th 2019 were a note on the Gitlab migration and another for mailing list subscribers
What happened to mailing lists?
Maintenance of a full mailing list server proved to be extremely costly; we have reduced manpower to keep the site up. After much reflection on the best way to communicate among members of the community, we decided that setting up a discussion forum would be the best alternative. Not much is lost, as you can still receive updates via e-mail by subscribing to topics.
How can I keep being notified by ohwr.org forums ?
The topic you were subscribed to (for instance, white-rabbit-dev
) is
now a category within the Discourse space of
https://forums.ohwr.org.
Note (see attached screenshot) the top rightmost button in the interface, right next to the 'New topic' button. You can select there the amount of notification you will get whenever something is posted in the category.
Ok, what should I do after the site is migrated?
Very little. After ohwr.org
comes back,
- go to the login screen by clicking the 'Sign In/Register' button.
- do not try to login with your current credentials: that will fail!
- click on the 'Forgot your password?' link in the login screen. A message with a link to reset your password will be sent to your registered e-mail address.
- that's it
forums.ohwr.org
?
What about my mailing list subscriptions? How do I login into The procedure is really similar to the one described in the above
answer. Your e-mail address (the one you used to subscribe to mailing
lists) will be already registered in the forums.ohwr.org
system.
- Click the 'Login' button to access the login screen.
- There, by clicking on the 'I forgot my password' link you will get an e-mail with a password reset link.
- That's all!
