Public letter to Sourceforge about their behavior
by Jehan - GIMP 02 Jan '16

02 Jan '16

Hello FSF, FSFE, I am Jehan, a GIMP developer. You may have heard about the issue of Sourceforge taking away the old GIMP account on their platform and adding an intermediary installer with adwares (looking like it comes from upstream), which hurts the GIMP project and its users. Well if you haven't, have a look at gimp.org. ArsTechnica did an interesting coverage: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/05/sourceforge-grabs-gim… As well as Libre Graphics world: http://libregraphicsworld.org/blog/entry/anatomy-of-sourceforge-gimp-contro… Their answer is basically to propose us to take back control of the account, and force us to update it. Thus return to square 1, when we used to use Sourceforge as our official repository, and we certainly don't want that. Even without the adware installer, we are fed up with their ads (people used to click the ones looking as "download" button and think that GIMP embedded malwares because of these!). And we certainly don't want to be special treated as well with exceptions made to our account. We want the platform to either come back to good behavior (not an easy task) for everyone, or be treated and known as what it is right now: an undesirable and unrecommendable website which spreads malware. This is why I am proposing to federate Free Software organizations for a public open letter as an answer to their proposition. We are a small team, and just by ourselves, we have a little weight (enough for raising news interest) but not that much and we need help. We could, if we wanted to, just "resolve" the matter for us and get to an agreement with Sourceforge. But many of the GIMP devs don't want it done silently this way. We want things to get better for every software which still uses Sourceforge out there. Would you help us? Thank you very much. Jehan P.S.: I took on me to write this email after a discussion on IRC where several of the GIMP members expressed a wish to federate with other bigger organizations. This is not an official message where I represent GIMP. I only want to start the discussion. -- http://girinstud.io
