[QGIS-Developer] On github, gitlab, and imperialist nations screwing us all over...

[Tim Sutton]

/me is googling for cloud hosting services in North Korea :-P

Sandro's comments about migrating issues to gitea make me think he has more in mind than a simple mirror of the code….

If we want a mirror surely it is easier to simply have a small hetzner server running a public read only git repo? No objection from me to have mirrors btw. Also isn’t this something we can just leave up to interested community members to work on? Nobody is complaining and it doesn’t seem useful to spend time and effort on something nobody is asking for.

Regards

Tim
