#OpenCommit is a #sovereign #EU platform dedicated to providing a free alternative to #GitHub and #Gitlab for Open Source projects.
Just like our friends at #Codeberg, we strongly believe in open source, #transparency and #independence
For years, open source has concentrated on one #US platform.
Let's stop doing that... move to https://opencommit.eu
While you can already run your own, we're working on providing shared actions runners and package storage.
@xiffy OpenCommit also is a nice alternative to Github and Gitlab! 😉
Sovereign EU hosted, non-profit driven, backed by an ANBI (Dutch non-profit foundation) and free for open source since that's our mission.
Let us know what you would still need to convince you to migrate.
See you there! ❤️
We're patched. Are you?

In another installment of getting to know how we @opencommit think about things... we've published a policy on #AI
Read it here: https://docs.opencommit.eu/policies/artificial-intelligence/
The Context# AI, and especially LLMs like ChatGPT, are just about everywhere nowadays. Companies are integrating LLMs into things where many people don’t need or even want it. All those LLMs also need to be fed training data. Public Open Source repositories like those on Github are a prime candidate. How We Think About This# While the OpenCommit Foundation acknowledges the many benefits brought by AI in general and in software development in particular, we also see the many negative sides and its pitfalls.
We just enabled push mirrors on https://opencommit.eu
