## About GitHub and FOSS

[The topic in Zulip about ethics of GitHub and FOSS](https://coderefinery.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/119815-general/topic/Is.20GitHub.20bad.3F) links a [blog from Software freedom concervancy](https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2022/jun/30/give-up-github-launch/) that urges FOSS community to consider alternatives to GitHub. Our workshop should follow the trends and we could have our lessons be compatible with other systems as well.
