Hi, @joekr! Excited you're here and I have one question around the fun topic of "naming things". I'm concerned that we might create confusion since "OCI" in an upstream Kubernetes context is commonly used for "Open Container Initiative" as seen in:

• https://opencontainers.org/faq/
• https://github.com/opencontainers
• https://github.com/opencontainers/distribution-spec
• https://kubebyexample.com/en/learning-paths/container-fundamentals/standards/oci-specifications
• https://github.com/oras-project

In looking at the names on https://cluster-api.sigs.k8s.io/reference/providers.html#infrastructure it seems usually the company name is used, and very occasionally a project name or acronym.

Would cluster-api-oc or cluster-api-oracle serve the same purpose but avoid the possible ambiguity? Thanks.

Howdy @bridgetkromhout 👋 🤠

I will update the issue to ask to have the repo name changed from cluster-api-provider-oci to cluster-api-provider-oracle-cloud-infrastructure upon donation to help clear up confusion. This also helps keep our naming consistent as well 😄 https://www.oracle.com/in/cloud/

+1 for the transfer on my side.

[mrbobbytables]

@joekr it looks like everyone set for owners/admin/write access are not org members, could you open up requests for org membership? If it'd speed things along, just need 1 person to start (feel free to use me as a sponsor to start the ball rolling)

Also do you have permission to migrate the repo? We have a temporary org (https://github.com/kubernetes-purgatory) that we invite external folk to is a staging ground before migrating into the org. For companies it might be an internal github admin.

/assign

[joekr]

I've requested membership thanks 😄 #3499

I don't have permission to migrate. I'll track down the person we will want to handle that.

[joekr]

@mrbobbytables I don't have permission but @Julia3072 or @spavlusieva will have access to be able to transfer.

[mrbobbytables]

@Julia3072 @spavlusieva - can one of you ack on here to confirm adding to the other org?

[joekr]

@shyamradhakrishnan #3509 has been added as a member

[mrbobbytables]

Just checking in, is this still something to be pursued? we need to transfer the repo to the intermediary org before we can bring it in here.

[joekr]

@mrbobbytables yes, we are actively working on this, albeit slowly. In order to donate we have to get a lot of sign off, which we are working on.

[mrbobbytables]

No worries! just wanted to double check
