The future of this project

[Marcin Kuźmiński]

Hi All,

Given the opportunity of this email thread, i'd like to pitch in the
open-source version of RhodeCode CE again.

- A fully functional, free AGPL v3.0 software
- based on a modern web framework - Pyramid
- we had almost 20 releases in last 12 months
- introduced major features like Git LFS, Mercurial Evolve
- per repo settings
- web mergeable pull requests
- integration framework
- and many more
- a quickly growing community use base we currently have over 170 people on
our community slack channel.

As a part of Management team i must admit that close sourcing the project
was a big mistake, however, we learned our lesson, and bet on the new
business model that is based on OpenSource Core and RhodeCode will have a
CE free edition.

We talked a bit about some co-operation, and i believe it's a good time to
re-think this. I'll be blunt, i think that it doesn't look like there a
sense of two such similar open-source projects to exist.

I highly valued contribution from this community that was done into the
RhodeCode codebase, i invite everyone again to join and have an influence
on the tool you or your company is using regularly.

Happy to chat about any options again, if someone is interested.

Best,
