Hello Thomas, That is great idea and initiative. I have visited the site only that I did not find the projects that are specifically hosted there. Are those listed projects all hosted there? For example for Guix I was thinking it is on GNU servers. One thing I am not sure what you mean with open source, do you mean free software? Is there a policy of hosting actually free software only? Is there any policy that will say that free software that is not exclusively made to control non-free software should not be hosted there? For example in Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre we avoid such software that may be free itself but may pull or demand non-free software. For example Debian non-free repository is open source but is non-free software, it should be clear from the name of repository. I am researching and I wish to know which hosting provider to recommend to other people when switching from Github for example. Vague terminology for me is: Open https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Open Other free software hosting providers I have in the list are following: GNU Project https://www.gnu.org Savannah, the software forge for people committed to free software https://savannah.gnu.org Savannah on nongnu.org https//savannah.nongnu.org Codeberg.org (Germany) https://codeberg.org Sourcehut.org https://sourcehut.org Trisquel GNU/Linux-libre Git Repositories https://devel.trisquel.info/groups/trisquel Pagure https://pagure.io/pagure Fosshost https://fosshost.org/ If somebody has more hyperlinks please tell me that I may update my list.
