GitHub and BitBucket don't run open software, and KDE as a community doesn't feel comfortable with putting its name behind organizations that aren't playing by the rules we've set for ourselves and consider valuable for what we're doing. We also don't think it's what our donators expect us to do with their money, and we care about being responsible with their funds. Meanwhile, some parts of our server infrastructure are actually donated as well, so it's not like we're blowing the bank on hosting -- most of KDE's expenses are in putting together and attending developer conferences. Our financial reports are open too, if you're curious: http://ev.kde.org/reports/ http://ev.kde.org/reports/ :) That said, we did originally try to work with Gitorious, but that didn't come to pass for a variety of reasons. Here's a small writeup of our journey back then, some of the parts discussed there have since been swapped out or fleshed out further: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2972107 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2972107
