I don't like github. Centralization is a threat and I try to do as much as I can to counterbalance it. That Python developers helps github to get bigger even is something to be sad about. I love Mercurial. I think that GIT is inconsistent and dangerous, and the only reason for its success is networking effect and services like github. I must say that I was proud of Python committers when the decision to migrate to Mercurial was done. I have quite strong opinions about all this. That said, I value Python a lot and my status as a core developer, even if my contributions are sparse. I want to help to improve the language and I enjoy to be part of the process. Migrating to github, if it happens, WILL NOT stop my contributions at all, but for me is a lost battle against centralization, independence, and what Internet should be. Helping to grow a private business where WE would be the product, with a future plan/roadmap we don't have a word about and just to use a closed source product. Interestingly, git was created as a reaction to bitkeeper closed product... <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_%28software%29#History>. I realize that my weight as a very low activity committer is minimal and I don't have an alternative proposal. Just voicing my disappointment. PS: Given a migration to a closed service, I would rather prefer to migrate to bitbucket, even using GIT (puf!), just to help to keep alive a healthy competition to GitHUB. -- Jesús Cea Avión _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ j...@jcea.es - http://www.jcea.es/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ Twitter: @jcea _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/_/ jabber / xmpp:j...@jabber.org _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "Things are not so easy" _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "My name is Dump, Core Dump" _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "El amor es poner tu felicidad en la felicidad de otro" - Leibniz
