@juh GitHub is a proprietary platform that was funded by VC's. Discourse is a tiny GPLv2 licensed open source tool. Apples and oranges. Sorry, but you're dead wrong here.

@juh That's a fine argument generally, but here we're talking about the group of lead developers of the Discourse open source project, who sell hosting of their project to people and orgs (or give it away to other open source projects) as a way to pay themselves to work on the project. Is that bad?

@juh That seems to be a bit over-generalized. For what reasons?

If you have been avoiding the inevitable deployment of the superb discussion platform for your project, no more excuses. Free hosting from the project team for your project!
