This isn't the only instance we've run into this. The CNCF's Cloud Native landscape (https://landscape.cncf.io/) requires open source projects be hosted on Github (not not proprietary systems....). From my perspective, I think this calls out why it is important for us to continue to push back against these rules. Software is built in a number of places and if we force people to use Github (and other proprietary tools) we move away from part of the mission here.
I very much agree here, especially considering that Github is a non-free platform. If it was hosted let's say on *any* Gitlab instance, I would think differently.
I think this calls out the fundamental disconnect here. We use open source tools because we believe that open source needs and should be built with open source tools. That does require a little bit of investment from the project side to ensure the tooling functions as needed and is maintained.
Yeah, definitively! Thanks a lot to the infra team for insisting on these subjects. OpenStack wouldn't be where it is without you guys. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
