Some of the projects, like GNU Radio, seem pretty active. I imagine that GH is simply a more attractive platform than whatever they were using previously (Savannah?), and it seems to much better facilitate community interaction than e-mail mailing lists. And honestly, for the sake of developing free/libre software, I'd much prefer that it be hosted on a platform that facilitates active development, than following a Stallman-approved™ fully libre stack, that results in the entire project being maintained by two guys in a university closet.
Is the whole contention solved by just moving over to GitLab?
- robertlagrant 6y agoGitLab would certainly "feel" like a better bet. But I don't think there's much in it. If it's a free platform, perhaps some GNUers like the idea of their code being hosted on Microsoft's dime :-)
