Description

This PR fixes #4706 by replacing all references to the deprecated cloudcv.org domain with the active eval.ai domain throughout the codebase. The cloudcv.org website is no longer functional, causing broken links on the LinkedIn page, GitHub profile, and throughout the application.

Motivation and Context

Fixes #4706

The cloudcv.org domain is no longer active, which creates a poor user experience and makes it difficult for new users and contributors to find official resources or contact the team. This issue affects:

  • User-facing website links in footers and headers
  • Contact email addresses in multiple components
  • Documentation and contribution guidelines
  • Email sender configuration in production settings

Changes Made

Frontend (v2 & Legacy)

Backend Configuration

  • Production Settings (settings/prod.py): Updated DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL from noreply@cloudcv.org to noreply@eval.ai
  • Common Settings (settings/common.py): Updated ADMIN_EMAIL configuration

Documentation

Email Templates

What was NOT changed (intentionally)

  • Test files with mock email data (in tests/ directory)
  • Nginx configuration files (maintains backward compatibility)
  • SSL-related comments in deployment scripts
  • Copyright notices in LICENSE that reference CloudCV organization

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • Documentation update

How Has This Been Tested?

  • Verified all updated links point to accessible pages
  • Confirmed email addresses follow the @eval.ai domain pattern
  • Checked that no functionality is broken by these URL changes
  • Validated that all user-facing text reads naturally with the new domain

Additional Notes

This PR updates 19 files across the codebase to ensure all user-facing URLs and contact information use the active eval.ai domain. The changes maintain backward compatibility where necessary (nginx configs) while improving the user experience for documentation, community engagement, and support channels.
