#768 Proposal: Kill fudcon.fedoraproject.org and drop it from the repo
Closed: Won't fix / Can't fix 6 years ago Opened 6 years ago by robyduck.

This is a proposal which also needs inputs from Infra folks - @kevin @puiterwijk

Actually we build this website hourly and still maintain the code to make happy the builder, but we redirect people to flocktofedora.org, which means nobody uses this website anymore.
While also fedoraproject.org has a redirect, the main domain will be used again in the future and still serves some minor bits to developers (i.e. network-manager) and users.

Reasons

fudcon.fedoraproject.org should be dropped because:

  • FUDCons are dead
  • If a region wants to organize a FUDCon-like event, it will probably have its own website (i.e. fudconlatam.org)
  • fudcon.fp.o is not mobile friendly and doesn't use our bootstrap layout, pages are very old style
  • fudcon.fp.o has no Internationalization, means it is not translatable
  • Traffic we had on this website before redirecting it, has been very very low
  • In the future we won't need this subdomain

I am also asking for Infra inputs, because if we decide to drop it from the repo, we will need to make some changes also in Ansible, in order to not look for it during the build. Any reference to this website needs to be dropped too.

Thoughts?


Dropping this idea for now, let's leave it just there.
