Conversion to Enterprise account

[mcollina]

Currently we are on the Enterprise Cloud system, and we are going to be migrated to "Enterprise Account" on September 3rd. I recommend we do it earlier, between now and then, and deal with all the possible hiccups on our terms.

Alternatively, we let the deadline expire and deal with anything in September. I feel this might be a bit disruptive for the collaborators because of the upcoming cutoff for v23, so I'd recommend we do this asap.

I was told in private that we should let the foundation create an enterprise account and move this org (and probably nodejs-private too) under it.

[mcollina]

I have been told that said migration is not as straightforward as we think, so an independent org it's better. (we have quite a lot of custom stuff here).

Then let's do it!

[mcollina]

@nodejs/tsc are there any objections?

[anonrig]

+1 let's do it

I don't think that was the outcome of the CPC meeting. If I recall, what Ben from the Foundation meant is that billing settings could be tricky, but to be honest, nothing that GitHub staff couldn't help us out.

IMO, if we already need to move to the GitHub Enterprise system, I don't see why it shouldn't be under the OpenJS Foundation "Enterprise." Does it make any difference? 🤔

Given we have a wild amount of custom discount & quotas from GitHub, a problematic scenario is that the project is "broken" for some time before we try to fix this. I'm absolutely certain that GitHub staff can fix this, but why breaking things?

See above.

Moving to an Enterprise regardless of a Node.js one or OpenJS one could affect billing.

We have a scheduled call with GitHub staff to clear out questions. Isn't it worth to first clarify things rather than move by fear?

I would prefer not to change anything at all. They are the ones forcing a change.

we should also apply this to nodejs-private.

[ovflowd]

Well they, as, GitHub. So if they are forcing a change, shouldn't we ask counselling to them regardless? To check if anything would break at all, regardless of OpenJS Enterprise?

I would like to try and put nodejs-private under the same enterprise account. It could have the nice side-effect to remove the current limitation we have on runner minutes.

I have no time for another meeting, unfortunately.

We have the maximum amount of free credits we could get in nodejs-private already. The chances of losing that and having to re-negotiate it are high enough (free credits are indeed related to billing).

It seems apparent that we do not have consensus on this move, and I do not have the time to "push it through" and have meetings about it. Therefore, I will not take care of this.

(Hopefully somebody else will, or we do have the forced migration in September).

I'm no TSC, but I'd be more than happy to help on the OpenJS side of things as a CPC member.
