between the github/microsoft deal and apple dropping opengl i feel like the future path of non-proprietary foss programming in education and the arts has become much rockier in the past few days
@aparrish GitLab (100x the features of GH and open source itself) & gitea (lightweight, also OSS) can help! You can also single-click import your GH repos into GL.
the opengl thing is just super sad.
@vickysteeves that helps on an individual level going forward, but (e.g.) my department has already made significant investments in github in terms of hosted internal projects, student tutorials and culture, curriculum, etc. the temptation to just continue with what's already built will be overwhelming
@aparrish are y'all using github classroom?
@vickysteeves no (well I'm not at least and I haven't heard of others here using it). is it any good?
@aparrish I'm not sure, just wondering if that's what you were using for curriculum -- I know a few departments on campus are.
@vickysteeves no, I mean, literally teaching students how to use github is part of the curriculum
@vickysteeves @aparrish #Gitea runs like a dream! and it imported my GH repos in an instant (each, individually)
