Re: [proaudio] I want to contribute

[Ingolf Wagner <palipalo9@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you, 

I'll have a look at the links later that day.

I personally have no problem with SVN (would use git-svn anyway), but like the energy on the 'switch to git'-topic.

I have no feelings against github nor gitlab.

Thank you people, looking forward to be a part.

I wonder where we should put the official git version of the overlay..
On GitHub or on GitLab? Both can handle pull/merge requests, issues
and wiki/homepage, so functionality wise I think it does not matter.
However, I know some people feel strongly against GitHub since it is a
proprietary service and that would make GitLab a better candidate. A
reason to use GitHub, though, is that more people are likely to use
GitHub since also the gentoo main repo (mirror) is on GitHub.

I can live with any of these, but I prefer GitLab since it is FOSS,
but if someone prefers GitHub I am fine with it and I will not be
stubborn to push for GitLab.

Please tell me which you all would like best GitHub, GitLab, or maybe
something else.

Regards
