Rebrand Migration: NighthawkCodingSociety -> OpenCodingSociety

[Flying-Book]

Overview

We're officially rebranding NighthawkCodingSociety to OpenCodingSociety. This change affects all codebases, configuration files, deployments, and documentation.

Goal
Ensure a complete, atomic migration to the new branding with:

• No lingering static references
• No broken links, builds, or services
• Consistent naming across all environments and documentation

Task List (ETA: July 10th) - Risha and Nolan

1. Audit and Identify All Static References

• Search for all instances of nighthawkcodingsociety or similar variants in:
  • Code (URLs, fetch calls, environment variables)
  • Config files (.env, docker-compose.yml, YAMLs, etc.)
  • CI/CD workflows (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.)
  • Markdown files and documentation
  • Frontend UI (titles, branding, footers)
• Create a report listing:
  • Repository name
  • File path(s)
  • Line numbers (if possible)
  • Current value
  • Suggested replacement

2. DockerHub & Container Update (Do this together on call) - Everyone

• Rename or re-publish Docker images under the opencodingsociety namespace
• Update all references to old images in:
  • docker-compose.yml
  • GitHub Actions

3. Registry Server & DNS (Do this together on call) - Everyone

• Update any static URLs pointing to internal/external registries or services (e.g., Docker registry, API gateway, custom services)
• Replace all DNS and domain references (e.g., *.nighthawkcodingsociety.com) with new *.opencodingsociety.com
• Remove all deprecated DNS entries

4. Workspace, Folder, and Naming Conventions (Do this together on call)

• Rename relevant folders, namespaces, or workspace identifiers
• Refactor internal scripts/tools that rely on static names

5. Documentation & Branding (ETA: July 14th) - Risha and Nolan

• Update with help of ChatGPT:
  • README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, docs/
  • Diagrams and logos
  • Public descriptions (GitHub org, DockerHub, etc.)
• Write a changelog or section in the README that documents the rebranding
