Detach this repo from fork network?

[rsp4jack]

As this repo will never be merged back into AOSP...

[pedrolcl]

Upstream is never going to merge us, but we were merging/cherry-picking them, from time to time...

https://github.com/pedrolcl/sonivox/pull/12
https://github.com/pedrolcl/sonivox/pull/25

Anyway, upstream looks now frozen from outside, as Google develops Android OS entirely behind closed doors

Options:
https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/working-with-forks/detaching-a-fork
https://ralphjsmit.com/unfork-github-repo

Another reason is, when creating a PR, GitHub always want to merge this repo into AOSP. And a fork seems to have less relevance when searching "sonivox" (https://github.com/search?q=sonivox&type=repositories).

Proposed procedure steps:

1. create a new organization. Name? EAS? EmbeddedAudioSynthesis? Sonivox?
   There is an issue with the 'Sonivox' name: it may be a registered trademark by some company.
2. move development to the new location. There are several options:
   • transfer sonivox repository from pedrolcl to the new organization
   • upload a new detached git repository, keeping the old fork for historical reasons (could still be useful for cherry picking from upstream).
3. inform and persuade downstream packagers to pick the releases from the new location.

My idea: transfer this repo to the new org, and clone the repo to pedrolcl/sonivox, update README.md to notice the move, and archive it.

Name of the org cannot be Sonivox because we are not Sonivox. And I am not sure if simply EAS will be accepted by GitHub.
EmbeddedAudioSynthesis is long, but shouldn't have any problem else.

What about a more fancy name, like SynthFreely ?

[rsp4jack]

That is way too fancy I think :D

Sonivox also interests guys that are enthusiastic about old mobile phones (check out lpcwiki and ROMphonix). In this case, EAS-Revived can be a good name, as there have been efforts trying to revive it.

I've finally created EmbeddedSynth Tell me what you think

[rsp4jack]

Okay 👍
