I didn't really know that Google was embargoing countries on their code
hosting site. I was more inspired after watching this talk Google I/O 2008 -
Project Hosting on Google Code <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62x17hG6Wvo>
It is very interesting for a company that does great things for the OSS also
blocking code access on certain countries. Thanks for pointing this out.
Indeed an important point consider.
This is not the first time today my Google integration idea has been
rejected. During our school's tech forum I asked them the possibilities of
integrating Google Apps to the university network. The lower cost was a
reasonable answer, but it is beyond my logic to understand that possible
plans to integrate something that is not even up (live.edu) :)
