summary

Argument: open source code wins but most build platforms remain proprietary, creating vendor lock in, surprise $10k bills, or sudden shutdowns. Recommends concrete alternatives: GitLab for repo hosting, Jenkins or Travis CI for testing, IRC or Matrix for chat, and OpenStack for IaaS. Emphasizes three decision criteria—transparency, interoperability, influence—and warns a monoculture of closed platforms risks community control and project continuity.
