They also removed [0] C Plus Equality [1] project twice. Even Bitbucket [2] and Google [3] also removed it. [0] - https://github.com/FeministSoftwareFoundation/C-plus-Equalit... [1] - https://github.com/ErisBlastar/cplusequality [2] - https://bitbucket.org/FeministSoftwareFoundation/c-plus-equa... [3] - https://code.google.com/p/c-plus-equality/

What was the story behind this anyway? I am having a hard time determining whether this was actually serious or were trying to parody feminist activism.

It was a joke by 4chan's technology board, made to see if people would take it seriously (some did and even agreed with it!).

Is there an issue tracking system out there that works on top of the Github issue system?

We would love your thoughts on ZenHub.io [1] - fully integrated issue tracking, +1, estimates, burndown charts, kanban boards, even a personal todo list - a lot of the features asked for here, right within the GitHub interface and presented a lot more cleanly than competing products. Disclosure: I work on ZenHub :) [1] https://www.zenhub.io

Looks nice. How do I add additional organizations after the first one? Can I send an invite to other organization managers to make themselves available for ZenHub?

Thanks!

Hi Adam, Addy, Andreas, Ariya, Forbes, James, Henry, John-David, Juriy , Ken, Nicholas, Pascal, Sam, Sindre, My name is Jono and I started as Director of Community back in November at GitHub. Obviously I am pretty new at GitHub, but I thought I would weigh in. Firstly, thanks for your feedback. I think it is essential that GitHub always has a good sense of not just what works well for our users, but also where the pa…

Are you THE Jono Bacon of Ubuntu fame? If so, I have the best of hopes for Github. Best of luck in your new position and I hope we'll get to see many great new features on the platform.

I'm glad to see someone from github is actually replying on HN and not ignoring this. Thumbs up

Not just anyone - Jono literally wrote the book on building developer communities: http://www.artofcommunityonline.org/

He also founded and hosted a fantastic Linux podcast a long time ago: http://www.lugradio.org/

This tracker app [0] is designed to be pretty modular, and there's a service implementation that uses the GitHub API client [1]. In theory, you could modify it and expand it to cover your custom needs for issue tracking.

gitlab.com is dog slow and my code is too important to risk self hosting.

GitLab.com indeed is dog slow, we're sorry and we're working on improving that Q1 2016 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/operations/issues

So happy to see you acknowledge the performance issues. You'd do everyone a great favor when you make it happen!

One of Milgram's experiments (not the infamous one) tested this, using people standing on the sidewalk looking up. https://youtu.be/P0e6zG8IbE8

I really want to try this out myself now. Is it really possible that people just continue standing there while not getting why they are doing it? Don't they even care to ask? Feels like it would take just a single guy to ask: "What are we looking at?" For everyone to realize that they are acting like fools.

So try it! Elevators are wonderful places for things like this :)

Try the classic: enter an elevator and turn around to face the back - see how many copy you.

To what degree a company has to not give a f$#% when maintainers of largest projects on a platform can't get any feedback (compounded by a fact that some of those maintainers are very prominent employees of largest github paying customers)

gog.com has a great mechanic for this which might work here called a community wishlist [1] where people can submit games whey wish to see and people can vote on it and eventually they get things done when possible.

While I applaud the initiative, it's also a pretty strong indictment of the JavaScript / node.js community that there is not even a single non-male OSS maintainer on this list of important JS projects. What is being done in the JS community by those who lead it to make progress on this and who is leading that charge? If the answer is "Nobody", why is that true?

Why did this get downvoted? Ugh.

Hmm what does this have to do a) with topic b) with node.js?
