Hello Olav, Ahato, Tobias!

Olav:
I know that you cannot export your data from Google's services, and that
was always an issue with Google.
However I can't see how a service that hosts thousands open projects will
change.

Ahato: Yes, is about interface and about the Google Effect.

Tobias:
Please don't go to "satisfied" issue. If I wasn't I wouldn't be here. But
none will ever be satisfied completely with nothing :)
Many people that believe in free or open source use Google Services, or
Facebook or YouTube or whatever.
Gnome uses Twitter etc. Many free projects use Google Groups.

I believe that Open Source should be in harmony with proprietary. The goal
is to develop open source not to
disqualified proprietary.

As I said I might saying stupid things, I am okay with the answers :)
Consider this topic closed!

Thank you!
- alex
