Suggest:
Monitor the ping and if the there is no more selling, we can determind to pull down. Target decommissioning @ Q3, 2016.
Marvin: this bug is in the wrong place; it's not a Governance bug. Please can you move it?

Thanks,

Gerv
Hi Gervase,
Sorry for putting on wrong component. Do you know which component I should place if I want to pull down this website?
Thanks, and sorry for the confusion here.
Perhaps the "Master Firefox OS" component in the "Websites" product? :-)

Marvin:

Hi I wanted to followup with you on this (my team maintains this website). We have in our notes (from when John Bernard) was here that the site needed to stay live until end of 2017.

Based on this bug it sounds like we could do this earlier. Are you the new owner and if so can you let me know when you think we could de-com.

KW: Based on the activation activity (we are still getting over 4-5k (~3+k phones, ~1k TV) activations a day) I don't think we should take down the site yet.  Can we do another checkpoint in mid December?  See https://metrics.services.mozilla.com/fxos-ftu-dashboard/#
Flags: needinfo?(bsternthal)
Yes will check in mid dec.

clear my ni here.

The original discussion I had with David Palomino was de-com the website if we don't have any sales or any pings generated from this website.

I believe this website purpose is to create a quick peek and aim for training, for those (customers / partners) who like to understand more about the operating system's highlighted features, so to build consistent tone and languages while doing product marketing.
This website contents contain only for handheld devices.

we can re-check in mid dec.

Looks like the activity report is no longer valid (the most recent data is August 2016).  I suggest we take down the MasterFirefoxOS.mozilla.org pages.  What will a user experience be once that happens?  Do we have a 'graceful' way to handle it?

Want to check with Michael Henretty to see if there is anything on those pages that should be made available to the community via another mechanism.

Karen: I would suggest we use the same approach we used with mobilepartners. Redirect the URL to mozilla.org.
After a cursory glance, I don't think there is anything on there we need to save. Thanks for checking.

Hi Ben - Based on Michael's response please proceed with taking down MasterFirefoxOS.mozilla.org and redirect the URL to Mozilla.org at you / your team's convenience.
Understood, will get this on the backlog.

Thanks for the help.
Decommissioning of the website has begun. Two open questions:

 1. masterfirefoxos.com expires on 03-jun-2017. Do we let this expire or do we renew? In the later case for how long?
 
    Currently www.masterfirefoxos.com redirects to masterfirefoxos.mozilla.org

 2. SSL certificate of masterfirefoxos.mozilla.org expires on 27-feb-2017. Do we let this expire or do we renew? In the later case for how long?

{KW} I assume this relates to Mozilla's ownership of the URL.  Is that correct? If so I will check with Marketing to see if they believe there is value in Moz renewing the registration of the URL.

{KW} If we redirect the masterfirefoxos.com URL to mozilla.org before Feb 27 2017 then I see no value in extending the SSL certificate.  Am I Missing something?

Yes, it's about owning the URL and also redirecting masterfirefoxos.com correctly to mozilla.org if Marketing sees value in that.

This will be integrated in mozilla.org cert so we don't need to take any other action. For browsers that have visited masterfirefoxos.mozilla.org they have already cached the redirect to https://masterfirefoxos.mozilla.org and thus not renewing the cert will give them a cert error message. This would happen even now that we're decommissioning before Feb 27. WebOps managing mozilla.org cert offered to integrate this into this so problem solved.

Hi Porfirio.
  Our 'ownership' of the masterfirefoxOS.org URL expires in a few months.  Do you see any value in renewing it?  (We've retired the site and redirected it to mozilla.org.)

Hi Porfirio please share your thoughts about whether Moz should retain the masterfirefoxOS.org URL.
