    hosted exclusively on youtube, make that make sense

    It makes perfect sense, since it’s open source and not free/libre we are talking about. Open source doesn’t care about the philosophy or political movement behind free software. It’s an opportunistic appeal to corporations, advertising “open source” as just a more efficient development model

      Makes sense indeed.

      I find it hilarious (and sad) when opensource conferences pay for closed source conferencing software. Then make it available only on youtube or on vimeo behind a paywall. Or only make the demos available on youtube but require you to be physically present otherwise you miss it.

        Those are such “mask off” moments imo

        The best being “want documentation? join our discord”, which makes me absolutely livid.

        Using discord as a wannabe forum, wiki and matrix chat replacement rly goes to show that for the core dev(s), “open source” just means a development model
