+On Oct 1, 2020 this repository, including issues and pull requests, will be archived and transferred to [gitlab.com](https://gitlab.com/kicad/libraries/kicad-footprints/). In order for your pull requests and issues to be imported into GitLab you must set your email address on GitHub to public and use the same address for your GitLab account. Or login to GitLab at least once using the GitHub icon.
