    This is great that they’re forking but do that have to continue the OSS tradition of terrible app names?

      The name was voted by the community. There were a lot of very good names that unfortunately were already being used by other projects. I’m not a fan of the final choice either.

        And, It’s not even unique.

        On the iOS App Store, for example, there is:

        • MyCOMAP
        • COMAP
        • ComAp Helpcentre
        • MYCOMAP BALANCING
        • and two apps from a company named COMAP S.A.
        • Colloidal@programming.dev

          Yes, it was pointed out that CoMaps was also the name of a business operating in… maps. So if the project gets traction, they’ll likely be sued into a better name.

    Roman @rtsisyk revoked Github owner permissions from Alexander @biodranik and Viktor @vng and granted such permissions to the community contributor @pastk. This triggered Github’s automatic “sanctions” check and the whole Github OM organization was automatically archived and admin access was blocked until OM’s appeal was reviewed. It was unknown whether and when Github would review Organic Maps’ appeal and unblock the repositories, so 2 weeks later the project migrated to the self-hosted git.omaps.dev/organicmaps instance, using the free and open source software forge Forgejo.

    What the fuck? GitHub blocking the account because of automated security evaluation triggering (probably a good thing) but no review over two weeks (obviously a very bad thing)?

    did I understand this right that nothing’s changed until they have their own OpenCollective fiscal host?
