Hello,

Earlier today, Google announced
<http://www.google.com/appserve/mkt/p/APu-DeB-Edhw6K0jXHPRlKX9Nym9lFykSiqDAhaWP_bT0QbjLqyaQxtKbxruM-Rs0oz5h_2bT0chf-ioLhBSdzd6wAj-H8jmDyFo2pwUD6OLrpQvaozjWf3w>
we will be turning down Google Code Project Hosting. The service started in
2006 with the goal of providing a scalable and reliable way of hosting open
source projects. Since that time, millions of people have contributed to
open source projects hosted on the site.

But a lot has changed since 2006. In the past nine years, many other
options for hosting open source projects have popped up, along with vibrant
communities of developers. It’s time to recognize that Google Code’s
mission to provide open source projects a home has been accomplished by
others, such as GitHub and Bitbucket.

We will be shutting down Google Code over the coming months. Starting
today, the site will no longer accept new projects, but will remain
functionally unchanged until August 2015. After that, project data will be
read-only. Early next year, the site will shut down, but project data will
be available for download in an archive format.

As the owner of the following projects, you have several options for
migrating your data.

   - openmsrp

The simplest option would be to use the Google Code Exporter
<https://www.google.com/appserve/mkt/p/mcoQ0cjk1rHNdxkW0eddf0uiIkmympxuw0SI9ST2nGytW9c-JrRxzPHsBGQlz2Kzi5SUKFfWQVMN>,
a new tool that will allow you to export your projects directly to GitHub.
Alternatively, we have documentation
<https://www.google.com/appserve/mkt/p/OdL7STCHFIA0mliRZ7JnIEPzqkJBwY2x3clTddVsDbIXb0Vay76yZ6-4euq-IULSYPWs-FJo4Q==>
on how to migrate to other services — GitHub, Bitbucket, and SourceForge —
manually.

For more information, please see the Google Open Source blog
