"It's not an open source project unless it's on github" is not something I agree with and in fact I think it's toxic to software freedom.
@ted People are weird about github. (Well, people are weird in general.)
Github isn't even particularly old as a service, it feels to me. Git itself is young.
@liw kids these days 😉
For many people Open Source is simply: "Jeez, there sure are a lot of Go libraries."
@liw I recently listened to a video taped talk by a prominent Haskeller where he said he doesn't take projects not on GitHub seriously and that he thought the project was unlikely to get attention! I just rolled my eyes and closed the tab.
@liw got a couple folks on Twitter criticizing Inkscape's move to Gitlab because "Github is the home of open source."
