Publish fabiospampinato/vscode-terminals to Open VSX #69

Dear extension author, Please publish this extension to the Open VSX marketplace.

Context

Unfortunately, as Microsoft prohibits usages of the Microsoft marketplace by any other products or redistribution of .vsix files from it, in order to use VS Code extensions in non-Microsoft products, we kindly ask that you take ownership of the VS Code extension namespace in OpenVSX and publish this extension on Open VSX.

What is OpenVSX? Why does it exist?

OpenVSX is a vendor neutral alternative to the MS marketplace used by most other derivatives of VS Code like VSCodium, Gitpod, OpenVSCode, Theia based IDEs, and so on.

How can you publish to Open VSX?

The docs to publish an extension can be found here. This process is straightforward and shouldn't take too long. Essentially, you need an authentication token and to execute the command ovsx publish to publish your plugin. See this example from RedHat publishes their Java extension: redhat-developer/vscode-java@ff51dbf/Jenkinsfile#L73-L82 You can also find an example PR that contributes a release GitHub Action which publishes to GitHub, MS and OpenVSX at the same time.
