Yes, a forum of people interested in software development might care that most new repositories created on the most popular website for sharing open source code will end up spoofed…

As I wrote in this issue, I am exhausted. Microsoft has plenty of money to handle issues like this and chooses not to do so. I have spent hours now reaching out to GitHub in vain, …

This is getting to be embarrassing. It’s been almost a week of trying to alert GitHub to multiple spoofed repositories serving malware. Everyone appears to be sleeping on the job. …

Thanks, I just find it wild that Microsoft appears wholly uninterested in policing what seems like a huge legal liability to their business. I’ll start reaching out to as many jour…

GitHub is being overrun with repositories impersonating legitimate open-source projects to spread malware. One of them is spoofing my own app. I reported it through GitHub’s offici…

Thank you for sharing this! Shared it with my wife over breakfast.

I'm also curious about this. We were accepted into Stripe Atlas but too late – we ended up forming our company while on the waiting list and couldn't partake.

Watsi only funds its operations via tips. 100% of your non-tip donations go to funding treatments.

If your non-profit needs any help with any of the software side (that can be made open source) let me know and I'd be happy to see how I can help.

Looks fantastic. Do you have plans to support additional languages? This would be particularly useful in open source.

Okay, so I got downvoted for clarifying why the now flagged post said the parent "had the ethics of a soldier." Maybe at least explain why?

I'm sorry, what?

Does this mean you're also hoping to expand into Delaware PBCs, too? Lots of open source projects are considering this approach due to a combination of poor response to open source…

You can definitely browse projects without signing up.

Code Corps is intended to be a place to find and volunteer for open source projects you think are worth whatever free time you have. For maintainers, we'd like to make scaling your…

Do you have anything you can share about this? I'm very interested to see and am happy to provide feedback.

Stripe did introduce Stripe Atlas. Although this doesn't solve the situation totally, it's at least one of a number of helpful steps in the right direction.

Does anyone have resources on how one should design their changes to run side-by-side? I have not been at large companies and don't have the advantage of institutional knowledge to…

Do you have anything you can share at all?

Do you mind sending me an email sometime? You can find one in my HN profile. I'm really curious to hear about what you've done to find maintainers and how you've thought about tack…
