We have a temporary glitch with GitHub—probably some contributor was geolocated in a sanctioned region (no details yet). All required documents to unlock the account have been uploaded. Don't blame Microsoft/GitHub - it is just U.S. law. Please be patient. It should be unblocked soon.

@drdelle @fabiux @organicmaps yep, this! so much!

@forgejo @Codeberg are great and should really be considered as an option to move to.
Various other projects are doing it these days, for.... reasons like this XD

@thibaultmol @drdelle @fabiux @organicmaps @forgejo @Codeberg Contributors in sanctioned regions is concerning, though. Would be great to do a transparent post-mortem.

@richlv @thibaultmol @drdelle @fabiux @organicmaps @forgejo @Codeberg

maybe we should do post-mortems for contributors from the USA?

@organicmaps Where have you moved to? Where can I find it? I'd love to see OrganicMaps online again :D

@richlv @thibaultmol @drdelle @fabiux @forgejo @Codeberg Sure thing, we’ll do a post-mortem. No any details from GitHub yet. One contributor mentioned a temporary visit to disputed areas a long time ago — GitHub probably just flagged the account, and their bots messed up after that.

@richlv @thibaultmol @drdelle @fabiux @organicmaps @forgejo @Codeberg

Yep, obviously, the US government can be fully trusted to decide who is a good contributor to FOSS and who isn't!
