On June 2, 2017, the official GitHub organization name for the Ionic framework changed from "driftyco" to "ionic-team," as announced by Mike Hartington, the Director of Developer Relations. Users are informed that GitHub's automatic redirects should prevent any major disruptions, but they are advised to update bookmarks, links, and local repositories to reflect the new organization name. A helpful command for finding and updating old references on Unix-based systems is provided, and users are encouraged to reach out for assistance via the Ionic Forum or Slack. The announcement also promotes subscribing to Ionic's newsletter for updates and highlights related posts about Ionic and its tools, emphasizing the ongoing support and resources available to developers.
