Request access to node-forward/node here

[chetandhembre]

Last time I checked this organization has joyent/node forked repo. But now I can not see it. Am I missing something here ? :)

[Fishrock123]

It's currently private, we are probably waiting for things to get going a bit more and an actual announcement, I'd assume.

I suspect it's just to prevent people from creating lots of issues and pull
requests before build infrastructure is in place. It'd probably be best for
contributions to continue to target joyent/node for now.

[bnoordhuis]

It's been taken private for now pending resolution of a trademark issue with Joyent. I missed the call where the decision was made but I believe it was done as a goodwill gesture towards Joyent; apparently, they were genuinely baffled by the fork. Discussions are ongoing, please watch this space.

[heapwolf]

Does that mean they are "baffled" by the other 7,243 forks? The word "node" is not the trademark they own. The license states exactly what they can actually enforce.

[Fishrock123]

apparently, they were genuinely baffled by the fork.

.. they would be

[indexzero]

@hij1nx not espousing an opinion either way, but since 2012 Joyent has asserted in the LICENSE for joyent/node, that "node" is a trademark of Joyent. They have not, however, ever filed for this trademark with the USPTO office, but they have filed (and received) a mark for "node.js".

It is also interesting that the trademark policy you linked to does not explicitly talk about "node", but makes sense given they never filed for the mark.

[mikeal]

that "node" is a trademark of Joyent. They have not, however, ever filed for this trademark with the USPTO office

Actually, they did file it but abandoned it http://trademarks.justia.com/852/62/node-85262599.html. "node" is a pre-existing general programming term so it's very doubtful it ever would have been approved.

[JulianGindi]

Not sure if this is the best place to post this, but count me in if you need help moving forwards. I have a pretty good grasp on Node and love what this project is trying to accomplish.

[isaacs]

@mikeal Note, the USPTO's actual website search is terrible, and links are session-based. Please use http://trademarks.justia.com which is in every way superior and has the same information.

[vkurchatkin]

So, what is going on? How can one see what is going on in node-forward/node?

[ilkkao]

Node advisory board was just formed. I think it includes some active node-forward people. Probably we still need to wait some time to hear how things progress.

[bnoordhuis]

It's taking some more time. If you want access to the repo, ping me.

[vkurchatkin]

@bnoordhuis thank you, I would really love that

That's correct, it's still private. I'll give read access to anyone who asks, though.

[zladuric]

Well then: can I please have read access?

Thanks,

@tomgco @michaelnisi @jkrems @radicalsauce @lalitkapoor @yosuke-furukawa @diaswrd Invites in your inbox, welcome aboard.

@radicalsauce Yes, there are plenty of ways to get involved. See e.g. https://github.com/node-forward/mentors or pick an open bug (from either the node-forward/node or joyent/node bug tracker) and start hacking. Documentation fixes and bug triage are always welcome. If you are into IRC, we hang out in #node-forward on freenode.net. Let me know if you need help with anything. I'm bnoordhuis on IRC.

[radicalsauce]

@bnoordhuis - Outstanding! Thanks for the tips. I look forward to diving in.

For anyone else requesting access, it appears that development of node-forward/node is going to move to the already public iojs/io.js repo.
