Notes

  • Is it time to move on from GitHub?
    • Samvera has used GitHub for many years
    • GitHub corporate practices have caused times to pause and think about continued use of GitHub:
    • Jeremy has written to helpers channel about this conversation and how it appears to run counter to community values
    • How to make voice heard?
      • Email GitHub as an individual
      • Ask your institution to talk with GitHub
      • Voices at all levels will help bring accountability
    • What do we do as a community?
      • Bring it to partners
        • Get community to talk to GitHub
        • What does with mean with respect to Code of Conduct?
        • Next partner call is February 12th
      • What should developers recommend we do?
    • What alternatives exist?
      • GitLab
      • Codeberg
    • How do we do due diligence on what we'd move to?
    • Is there anything that GitHub could do that would make us not want to move?
    • Working group to explore this and provide messaging to help bring community along with process
      • Similar to Branch Renaming WG
