We're running indeed some custom services on sip-router.org, like the generation of documentation from code, from docbook, from serctl/ sercmd object files and other stuff. There is also a daily snap shot generation, which we probably like to keep as github removed the possibility to upload and download files some time ago [1]. This stuff still needs to be run and maintained from us even after a move of the git repository. > Still, it's always a trade-off when switching to a "cloud" service. > Control is good. > [...] I'd like to second this with that article: http://redmonk.com/dberkholz/2013/04/22/the-size-of-open-source-communities-and-its-impact-upon-activity-licensing-and-hosting/ It looks (among other topics) to the choice of hosting provider at open source projects at the end of the article. If a project reached a certain size, they tend to move away from github. I've nothing against a move to github per se, but we'll still need to run sip-router.org and kamailio.org, if only for our webpage and release file hosting.
