Moving from github to gitorious

[arabeyes]

Hey everyone,

I recently received some concerns about the repo being hosted on github. Among the many concerns, there is "github platform is not open source itself", and some of the disturbing terms in github's TOS such as:

"D.4. GitHub, in its sole discretion, has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service, or any other GitHub service, for any reason at any time. Such termination of the Service will result in the deactivation or deletion of your Account or your access to your Account, and the forfeiture and relinquishment of all Content in your Account. GitHub reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time".

Gitorious.org was proposed, which is an open source alternative for github, possessing almost the same great features, and hosting many famous FOSS projects like Qt and OpenSuse.

So, tell me guys what do you think.

But the Gitorious.org provide basic functionalities, Github is powerful at this time and if you want to get same contributors... you have to use Github, I think :/

We have two options: 1) Adopt "Linux/git" model: The "reference" repo stays in arabeyes.org domain and all the development happens using patches sent over emails or feature branches. In this case, the repo on github serves only as a mirror (see for example Linux kernel or git repos on github). 2) Do all the development on github: As mentioned above, this has its pros/cons.

I would prefer to continue to use Github at this time. If there are any issues from github, then we can look at moving the project. But until that happens we should keep the project here.

Forgot to follow up here. We'll stay on github according to everyone's whish.
