Dear George,

first of all, I would like to thank you tremendously for conceiving and maintaining this package. I think it has a high value for open data and open access applications aiming to connect to EPO's OPS service to gather information.

At #59 (comment), you mentioned that you are not actively working on this project anymore, and that you would welcome anyone to take it over.

In this spirit, I am offering my support. A few references about our past work in this area are attached below. Let me know if this resonates with you. 🌻

With kind regards,
Andreas.

@amotl Would completely trust you to take over this project. Do you want me to transfer it? I suppose we'd have to arrange for the PyPI transfer as well.

Dear George,

thanks for your trust, I appreciate it. I can't do any miracles over here, but I will try to be a good maintainer, taking care of regular releases, accomodating new releases of Python, bugfixes to the code base, and also eventual feature requests from the community.

Do you want me to transfer it? I suppose we'd have to arrange for the PyPI transfer as well.

I think it will be the best option to transfer to an organization, also in order to bring in more co-maintainers. If you don't have any objections, I would like you to be part of it - just in case I am not around and we are not able to level up on other people helping out.

So, I've just invited you as a member to the https://github.com/ip-tools organization, feel free to transfer the repository after accepting the invitation 12. On PyPI, I am also amotl, so you can easily add me as additional member over there. No transfer will be needed, because the package is not exclusively associated with a personal scope of any kind.

Thank you so far, and with kind regards,
Andreas.

Footnotes

  1. You probably know that GitHub is placing appropriate redirects both on the HTTP and SSH+Git level, so moving it to another location will not cause any disruption for users at all. ↩

  2. After the transfer, I will of course assign full ownership permissions to you, leveling up from membership only, if GitHub does not automatically do it that way. ↩

Transfer on GitHub completed. PyPI collaborator invited.

Dear George,

thank you very much. After inviting you to the ip-tools organization as a member the other day, I just assigned you the Admin role on the python-epo-ops-client repository, so you still can run all actions on it, including administrative ones.

With kind regards,
Andreas.

Unfortunately, the PyPI collaborator invitation expired, because I was on vacation at the time you submitted it. Maybe you can run it once more?

I've resent the invitation.

It worked well, and I've accepted the invitation. Thank you again.
