    Description

      The ODL TSC learned today that the LF IT leadership is mandating that all LF projects move to Groups.io for mailing list hosting. This type of type-down mandating from LF to projects is antithetical to how the ODL TSC believes the LF should accord itself. The TSC is extremely concerned (and frankly, pissed) about this change in direction. ODL expects the LF to work bottom-up, talking to communities, building consensus and only then implementing changes.

      The bigger issue here is the top-down process, but regarding Groups.io in particular, the TSC has voted to not adopt it I think largely because it's not open source (I also have an unanswered question about how the migration from Groups.io back to a service like Gerrit woud look). It seems the LF disingenuously asked ODL to vote on moving to Groups.io, then didn't get the result they wanted and now are showing their true thinking by simply manding the change.
