A new home for Google Open Source

It looks like some of these projects repos link to GitHub, while others are hosted on this new platform. Is this a signal that Google is moving away from GitHub, or something else entirely?<p>Edit: Ah, here&#x27;s the relevant blog post: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;opensource.googleblog.com&#x2F;2017&#x2F;03&#x2F;a-new-home-for-google-open-source.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;opensource.googleblog.com&#x2F;2017&#x2F;03&#x2F;a-new-home-for-goo...</a>

There&#x27;s some really interesting tidbits in the docs section.<p>For example, apparently AGPL licensed projects can&#x27;t be used at Google: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;opensource.google.com&#x2F;docs&#x2F;using&#x2F;agpl-policy&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;opensource.google.com&#x2F;docs&#x2F;using&#x2F;agpl-policy&#x2F;</a>

This actually explains what&#x27;s new about this: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;opensource.googleblog.com&#x2F;2017&#x2F;03&#x2F;a-new-home-for-google-open-source.html?m=1" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;opensource.googleblog.com&#x2F;2017&#x2F;03&#x2F;a-new-home-for-goo...</a>

Website is beautiful. But actually not useful. It&#x27;s better for programmers just browsing on GitHub.

Why didn&#x27;t they use their new .google TLD for this?

Seems a nice template. Can I get fork it somewhere?

The docs are an interesting peek into google&#x27;s internal stuff :)

At first glance, project explorer&#x27;s circular is not intuitive. My first reaction was to switch to the grid view. Perhaps, they should make the grid view as default.

Well, now PVS-Studio has more code to check and to entertain the readers with reports. :) About the analysis of various open source projects by PVS-Studio Team: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.viva64.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;inspections&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.viva64.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;inspections&#x2F;</a>

I find it hard not to be cynical when google launches new sites now, will it still be there in 3-5 years ?

List of all projects: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;opensource.google.com&#x2F;projects&#x2F;list&#x2F;featured?page=6" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;opensource.google.com&#x2F;projects&#x2F;list&#x2F;featured?page=6</a><p>(&quot;page=6&quot; means no 6x clicking &quot;Show more&quot;, then it loads the whole page - interesting)

the search filter seems to have some hard coded logic, preferring languages like R (4 projects [1]) over Scala (5 projects [2]). I wonder if that&#x27;s based on trends or purely taste (or just cache :-)).<p><pre><code> [1] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;opensource.google.com&#x2F;projects&#x2F;search?q=%20&amp;language=r [2] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;opensource.google.com&#x2F;projects&#x2F;search?q=%20&amp;language=scala</code></pre>

Made with Angular, seems pretty snappy.

2 years max.

How about Free Software?

here we go again, at some point google &quot;deprecated&quot; code.google.com which was great for developers in china because of the gfw. now they&#x27;re going back to a google source control service, this means that i have to develop with a vpn which is a simple pain in the ass.
