Updates, bots, CI issues are all time killers that are not improving our code. On the other hand, what do we gain from hosting it ourselves?</div><div dir="ltr">I would move to GitLab. Either we pay or we use the open source plan from GitLab [1]. I use it for Alberta-FEM and the yearly process of renewal is okay so far. This would give us access to macOS runners and we can still have CI resources where they are today.</div><div dir="ltr">Other options like Codeberg or GitHub are possible. I don’t see any advantages, but I might be missing good arguments.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Bye</div><div dir="ltr">Christoph</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">[1] <a href="https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/open-source/join/">https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/open-source/join/</a></div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">Am 25.08.2026 um 10:41 schrieb Robert Klöfkorn <robert.klofkorn@math.lu.se>:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><span>Hi Oliver,</span><br><span></span><br><span>I agree, we need to do something.</span><br><span></span><br><span>One option might be to move the public part of our code, i.e. core and</span><br><span>extension and other modules to github (or the like).
