I hope I'll see a new rise of decentralized solutions. For now I'm frightened of the monopolism here.
It makes me sad to see that people actively contribute to the implicit "open source = Github" assumption. Open Source has always been successful because there was more than just a single distributor for almost anything. I hope I'll see a new rise of decentralized solutions. For now I'm frightened of the monopolism here.
At the same time it's better to have a working project and having the satisfaction of shipping than going in circles trying to appease everyones definitions of open source.

What part of your process is the bottle neck? Are you rendering the posters server side?
Turns out every part of my process is the bottleneck, ha. I'm fetching the user's history from GH, which is working OK at best right now, and also rendering them server side. So... 0 for 2.

Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think he/she mentions open source at all? At the same time it's better to have a working project and having the satisfaction of shipping than going in circles trying to appease everyones definitions of open source.
Hey yall, looks like it's being hugged to death right now... I'm trying to keep up!

Then if I can't find it that way, I begrudgingly head over to Google.

The whole thing is about "show your Github contributions", further cementing Github's monopolism, right?
If I created a website for you to turn a user's facebook activity statistics into a T-Shirt I would hope that you don't think it is contributing to facebook's monopolism of social media.

I speak from experience, having built a crawler and search engine that extracts changelogs from open source projects on Github, parses them, and provides an API for changelogs. [1] I probably never would have built this project if the only thing that had been available to me was bare git repos. It's the github API that makes this search engine possible.
The side effect of the Github "monopoly" is that Github can afford to provide a decent API that makes it possible to do things that simply aren't feasible if you are facing a non standard collection of bare git, svn, mecurial, etc repos.

Nowhere does this project say that "GitHub = open source" and I'm not sure why you're harping on it here. In fact, this project can even include private (ie. non-open source) commits, making your point even more irrelevant.
