Currently, the following GitHub organisations are managed by F-Droid team members as the official presence of F-Droid on GitHub:
Since github.com is fully proprietary software and therefore is contrary to the goals of F-Droid, a clear policy is needed for its usage. This policy will mainly concern team members having the "Owner" role at the https://github.com/f-droid organisation.
- The
List of team members with "Owner" roleas well as theList of features currently in useonly apply to https://github.com/f-droid , not https://github.com/fdroid . - Team members with "Owner" role must ask the team for consent1 before performing any changes to the
List of team members with "Owner" role - Team members with "Owner" role must ask the team for consent1 before performing any changes to the
List of features currently in use - Team members with "Owner" role should point people from interactions with non-deactivatable features (i.e. "Pull Requests") to the corresponding possibilities to contribute at https://gitlab.com/fdroid .
- https://github.com/fdroid must only be kept as a placeholder (see https://gitlab.com/fdroid/admin/-/issues/29) unless the team decides differently
- https://github.com/fdroid-oauth must only be used for providing GitHub OAuth for the F-Droid Forum unless the team decides differently
- Anyone who is an official core contributor as listed the official F-Droid group can request to be listed on the GitHub.
From https://github.com/orgs/f-droid/people?query=role%3Aowner :
- @FestplattenSchnitzel (https://gitlab.com/FestplattenSchnitzel)
- GitHub Sponsors: For enabling donations via Stripe (proprietary) to OpenCollective.
- Mirrored repositories: Mirroring of the most interesting repositories from https://gitlab.com/fdroid .
The reasoning behind using these features is to make it easier for people to find F-Droid and take free income along the way.
