Why their opensource projects are spread over many github account? Why not organize them on their own organization account at github http://github.com/artsy/ http://github.com/artsy/?
When I want to check if a company is a good one regarding contributing back to opensource, one of the first things I check is their github's organization account.
- dblock 14y agoFor historical reasons. We never had a policy around putting everything under github/artsy so it just grew organically this way. While I do think that finding open-source projects sponsored by an organization is cool, their evolution and governance is more important. When I put an OSS project out there I commit myself to maintaining it and supporting the community around it, if there's one. It's something you do as individuals more than as a team of people - I certainly will continue doing so for my open-source projects even if I were to work somewhere else.
