Atlassian is going to drop Issues and Wiki support

[Oleh Derevenko]

Hi,

This morning I received a e-mail notification that Atlassian is going to drop Issues and Wiki support in Bitbucket in favor of Jira and Confluence.

The things are not getting better. My impression is that we are left with no choice other than moving to Github. Let me know if I'm missing something.

We have one month before the issues from our Bitbucket repository are deleted.

In Github, we will need to set up a repository with all the matching users before migrating the commits, I guess. I have already registered "odedevs" as an organization name in my account and sent invitations to e-mails of existing Bitbucket dev team mambers.

Please express your opinions on this.

codeberg.org might be a better option than github ?

Why do you think so? What are their technical/feature benefits compared to the GitHub?

How are they earning their money? Non-profit does not mean free. Somebody still has to pay for the electricity, for the hardware updates and for the maintainers/admins to have something to feed their families.

I'll assume they will be begging you with requests for a donation each now and then. If nobody donates, they will not survive. If not all donate, then somebody will have to be donating if others' favor. So, why would not you just pay for yourself at the GitHub and get out of this moral dilemma: to donate or not to donate? By the way, GitHub will not ask you  for a donation, they are living off their business accounts.

What are the chances they will not stop supporting their free hosting and won't disappear in a year or so?

Hey, I love GitHub, all my code is there, full disclosure: I've been an MSFT FTE for almost 5 years now... and yet, I am not sure I can get a discount on GH plans,

all of my personal stuff is there for free.

So its good news for me.

its been going 7 years and has very lean costs, with 300+ thousand
projects, I'd trust it over a microsoft owned company...

Hi codi...@gmail.com,

Please don't take personally, but I don't really consider anything, other than the GitGub, seriously at this time. It is good to find out that there is a backup option but moving to the GitHub was already in the air last time, when they forced us to move the repo to Git. It was just a lucky coincidence we could migrate in place, and I used that to avoid changing repository location again (I still remember the times when ODE was at the SourceForge and would not want another relocation). But now, I guess we did our best and there is no reason to tolerate that pressure at Bitbucket anymore. So far, GitHub looks as a good place.
