<div dir="ltr">Microsoft has purchased GitHub. Microsoft is not the evil empire it once was, and might even see fit to sponsor some of my efforts to fight against royalty-bearing patents in standards. Which is going to feel very strange if it really happens. But GitHub is still too many resources of the Open Source community residing in one place. This was never a good idea.<div><br></div><div>Re-hosting our stuff to our self-hosted GitLab at <a href="https://git.openresearch.institute/">https://git.openresearch.institute/</a></div><div>might be a good idea. We can continue to mirror it from GitHub.</div><div><br></div><div>Developers run their own projects, so this is mostly up to Michelle for the digital communications work. Any Open Source project that has something to do with satellites or ham radio and is Open Source is welcome to use our GitLab. Things hosted there will end up on our physical distributions (blu-ray discs, etc.) when we make and archive them.</div><div><br></div><div> Thanks</div><div><br></div><div> Bruce<br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">Bruce Perens K6BP - CEO, Legal Engineering<br>Standards committee chair, license review committee member, co-founder, Open Source Initiative<div>President, Open Research Institute; Board Member, Fashion Freedom Initiative.<br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
