It might well be that we come with a free solution for this: I will see if our plan of creating a free server could be performed earlier. I'll let you know, have to speak to my partners.

A big advantage is also that it's open-source, so instead of creating your project on gitlab.com, you can host your own GitLab instance. Like Debian is doing with salsa.debian.org . There are Docker images with ready GitLab and dependencies, to make it easy. Personally, I'm "cautiously not panicking" :) I'll continue to use a mix of GitHub and GitLab (with most public stuff on GitHub). Microsoft today is doing open-source, working with Linux... It's no longer the aggressive M$ from "Ballmer era" and earlier. Maybe things will be OK (and if not, moving is easy :) ).

And who is going to buy them when they are big enough. No thanks. I've made up my mind. I'll be hosting my own Git repos from now onwards - I already have the infrastructure in place (currently hosting web servers, NNTP server, a mail server and such). After all, Git is a "distributed version control system" and pointing existing local repos to a new remote server is a single line command. My day-to-day work and impact of how I work will be zero. I'll simply switch from a "Centralised Workflow" (aka GitHub, SourceForge) to a "Integration-Manager Workflow". I already do that a lot of the time any ways. https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Distributed-Git-Distributed-Workflows#wfdiag_b Regards, Graeme -- fpGUI Toolkit - a cross-platform GUI toolkit using Free Pascal http://fpgui.sourceforge.net/ My public PGP key: http://tinyurl.com/graeme-pgp ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Tue, 5 Jun 2018 21:31:40 +0100 From: Graeme Geldenhuys <mailingli...@geldenhuys.co.uk> To: fpc-other@lists.freepascal.org Subject: Re: [fpc-other] M$ has bought GitHub Message-ID: <a539de2e-7af0-1ef6-3220-28b0171e2...@geldenhuys.co.uk> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 On 2018-06-05 20:19, Marco van de Voort wrote: >> owned and run my four companies: Apple, Google, Microsoft and Facebook. > Well, there is always Amazon and Oracle :-) Oh God, yes I forgot about those. Amazon is also spreading its tentacles everywhere and with microphones (smart speakers) planted in every other home. What is this world coming too? Everybody so eager to loose their freedom and privacy. Seems Richard Stallman was right all along.
