Hello, Josh from Travis CI here.

We are happy to announce that you can now run open source projects on travis-ci.com. At the moment you can only add and activate repositories which haven't been tested on travis-ci.org. We are hard at work to add a way for you to migrate your projects from travis-ci.org to travis-ci.com, and should have more information to share on this soon.

If you have any questions I would be happy to help answer them here, or you can email our team at support@travis-ci.com

Thanks for Travis.

It's great and it's is really useful, at least for our open sources project.

This is somewhat related, but you mention the transition to GitHub Apps in your blog post. For those of us already using Travis via GitHub Services, what's the right way to transition to GitHub Apps?

Thanks Josh! I've received your email announcing this move but honestly I didn't understand at first - I had to read the blog post to understand what that meant.

It makes sense that you wanted to maintain a single platform instead of two. The only worry that I have is the following.

At work we are using private repositories on travis-ci.com, but we've noticed some noticeable downtimes over the past year, whereas my open source repositories, including a popular one, which run on travis-ci.org, have their build processes actually way faster and more reliable (I actually haven't noticed any significant downtimes).

I don't know if it's just an impression that I have or if it's something that more people have noticed. I really hope that merging the two platforms will let you provide an even better for both pro and open source users.

Thank you for Travis - many open source projects would be worst without it.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm sorry for the downtime issues you have experienced lately. I'll follow up with the team on this to understand some of the affected your projects.

This single platform change will allow us to better focus on speed improvements for all users.

Thank you for using and trusting us :)

When you go to your settings you can 'activate and migrate' your user account or organization accounts to GitHub Apps. We will switch your service hooks to GitHub App service hooks in the process. Our support team is also more than happy to help :) support@travis-ci.com

Hey Josh, biggest issue I run into is not being able to CI forks of projects, any chance this could work in future?

This sounds nice, but what about supporting operating systems besides for Linux and MacOS? A big part of using continuous integration is being able to test your code on the various platforms you deploy on. People have been asking for FreeBSD support since 2014[1] and Windows support since 2011[2]. For lots of projects not having Windows or FreeBSD support makes Travis CI not even an option for a CI tool. And from the outside looking in, it seems the Travis CI team doesn't care about adding support for other operating systems, it's been 7 years since the windows support issue was opened and there appears to be no progress.
