[Owncloud] Gitorious vs Github

Thu May 3 14:10:06 UTC 2012

By the way, OpenHatch (http://openhatch.org ) recently moved from
Gitorious to Github for similar reasons as the issues we have:
http://lists.openhatch.org/pipermail/devel/2011-November/002521.html

I can only emphasize that Gitorious is also a centralized service. I
can not use my account anywhere else, nor can I be sure they run the
code they purportedly do. They can shut down any minute – and in fact,
they have way more downtime or problems than Github. It often is a
pain to work with when it simply doesn’t do what it is supposed to do
– which is »just work, damnit«.
