3.9.90 release next week
Don't forget: next monday is a release day. 3.9.90 is our beta release for 3.10. We're beginning our freeze after this release, so if you have big features to land or branches to merge, it would be great if that could happen soon. If you need a day or two extra to make this happen, don't hestitate to talk to the release team - we're flexible. As to what features and fixes we're monitoring for 3.10, see https://wiki.gnome.org/ThreePointNine/Features https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?cf_gnome_target=3.10 Thanks, Matthias ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

It indexes the entire website, which has the entire code. It is also available on various other search engines. I find it rather strange that there is such a focus on something which will spread the idea of free software. Gitorious existence doesn't make it automatically viable btw. -- Regards, Olav ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

I'd hate starting to advocate against it.

I recommend not doing this. The code is published under the GPL. If you don't want it used in ways that goes against whatever you want, change the license. If you think free software is really important, advocate that. If you have some pet peeve against Github, GNOME infrastructure is not meant for advocacy against something. Promote free software and explain why it is good all your want. All the other stuff: it is like preaching to the choir plus pretty double standard to complain about something that a) makes free software more available to people b) totally allowed by the license and I do mean the thought behind the license, not just the legal wording. -- Regards, Olav ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
