Currently it is under [PingCAP](https://pingcap.com/) organization, as a dependency library to many of the TiDB/TiKV eco-system projects. However, it's also indisputable that PD functions as the cluster manager, meta store, and scheduling center to TiKV, which is a CNCF project up for graduation. To clear the concern in the community, we decide to move the PD library entirely to [TiKV org](https://github.com/tikv), happening at 11 AM, UTC+8, August 17, 2020. + +After an initial evaluation, this move doesn't impact how you use or develop PD/TiKV/TiDB in the long run, but please be aware of the process as follows: + +1. Stop all CI activities related to PD, and update the import path in PD +2. Perform the transfer. +3. Reconfigure automation testing framework that includes CI, GitHub bot, etc under the TiKV org. +4. Update the import path for downstream projects that depend on PD. + +We expect the transfer to be finished within 24 hours, and will keep you informed when it is completed. + +**Important:** If the project you are working on depends on PD, you will need to modify the import path correspondingly next time you update PD. + +Leave your comment on related issue/RFC if any, and let us know if you encounter any issues that are caused by the transfer. + +* https://github.com/pingcap/pd/issues/2758 +* https://github.com/tikv/rfcs/pull/55/files + +Thanks. + +Maintainers of TiDB & TiKV \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/static/img/blog/pd-transfer/pd-transfer.jpg b/static/img/blog/pd-transfer/pd-transfer.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..049a761 Binary files /dev/null and b/static/img/blog/pd-transfer/pd-transfer.jpg differ
