A five-star bake. Worth schmearing, sharing, saving.
Summary
BookStack, a self-hosted open source documentation platform, is migrating its secondary repositories away from GitHub to CodeBerg due to growing discomfort with Microsoft's ownership of GitHub. The project cites concerns about privacy, user rights, and the use of GitHub Copilot trained on public repositories without consent. The migration is framed as an ethical stand for open source values, with primary repos remaining on GitHub for now but with a readiness plan for full migration if needed.
