The last one was like 10 years, so ... probably not?

It just looks like a one-stop shop to increase discoverability of all of google's opensource project, including the ones not hosted on github, like ganeti[1]. Which is hosted on Google's own infra[2] [1]: https://opensource.google.com/projects/ganeti [2]: http://git.ganeti.org/?p=ganeti.git;a=summary
Except that the UI is so bad that you can only discover a few top ranked (whatever it means in this UI) projects or the project you already know it exists in there.

We recently thought about on how to do this as well and created our own Open Source page [1]. Not sure if we have done it right, but I quite like it. Happy to receive some feedback on it. It's nothing huge, nevertheless we're quite proud of what we've achieved. [1]: https://mobilejazz.com/products/opensource

If Google has 50+ projects, then it's best to just have a page with multiple rows, each row is a category, and upon click can expand down to what #3 looks like. Or perhaps just GitHub README... it's pretty nice to read.

That is not one bit surprising considering that Google does everything online. Google no doubt has some proprietary code that they would like to keep proprietary. Also they probably have code under other licenses that they would like to remain under those particular licenses.
Errr,it's completely and totally unrelated to that. It's because we have tons of temps, vendors, and contractors, and don't want to have to owe them source code to internal systems. The other alternative (remember that google is a monorepo) would be to somehow police them differently. That is literally not worth the cost.

I think parent is referring to the longevity of this "new home", given Google's tendency to cancel things.
I don't think anyone in this thread has actually opened the link. This "new home" isn't some sort of platform like Google Code, it's just a website that lists all of Google's open source projects (mainly on GitHub). Everyone's talking about it like it's supposed to be some sort of GitHub competitor that can be 'abandoned'.

Well, all of it only really helps you discover the featured ones, because the list was opt in. The total number is in the thousands.
