doc: Update the README for the convergence repo

Open jasnell opened this issue 10 years ago • 11 comments

Make it clear that the convergence repo does not replace the existing node.js and io.js project repositories.

Provide clear links to the project repositories.

Update links to the http://nodejs.og/foundation page and moved dev-policy location.

lgtm

point of clarification: is it "The Node.js Foundation", "The Node Foundation", "Node.js Foundation", or ...? Has it been formally created yet? Since everyone says "The Node Foundation" could it just be that? Also, if "The" is in the name then you should capitalise T in your updates too.

node.org shows it as "Node.js Foundation" https://nodejs.org/foundation/

Not sure if that is official yet though.

I'm not sure if this is ready, the timeline is certainly outdated.

Also, it's "Node Foundation." I have the delaware filing and it says:

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF NODE FOUNDATION FIRST - The name of the corporation is Node Foundation (the "Corporation").

Actually, hrm... The corporate filing says Node Foundation the member agreement says "Node.js"

I prefer "Node Foundation" but it sounds like we're using them pretty interchangeably.

We'll need to get an official decision on that. On May 17, 2015 10:09 AM, "Mikeal Rogers" [email protected] wrote:

Being that we're registered as Node Foundation and own the "node.js" trademark we can be whichever we want :)

shall we mark this as tc-agenda perhaps? or is there any kind of board in place yet?

I've asked for clarification. If we don't have a clear answer by Wednesday we can discuss on the call. On May 17, 2015 3:32 PM, "Rod Vagg" [email protected] wrote:

The word from Mike Dolan is that the official name is, "Node.js Foundation, Inc." On May 17, 2015 4:18 PM, "James M Snell" [email protected] wrote:

Can we get this merged and just update the node foundation name later if need be?
