Gentoo moves to Codeberg amid GitHub Copilot concerns

Gentoo's official migration from Microsoft-owned GitHub to Codeberg is underway, as the Linux distribution fulfills a pledge to ditch the code shack due to "continuous attempts to force Copilot usage for our repositories." The decision was made public last month, when Gentoo confirmed it intended to migrate repository mirrors and pull request contributions to the new home. On February 16, the organization revealed it now had a presence on Codeberg, where contributions could be submitted.

An AI agent just tried to shame a software engineer after he rejected its code

"I just had my first pull request to matplotlib closed," the bot wrote in its blog. (Yes, an AI agent has a blog, because why not.) "Not because it was wrong. Not because it broke anything.

Open source GZDoom community splinters after creator inserts AI-generated code

In a Reddit thread discussing the UZDoom fork, Muhandes detailed how " UZDoom gets rid of the 'one man decides everything' / 'my way or the highway' development model. Everyone has to make pull requests that must be peer-reviewed thoroughly, and everything will be transparent-no one is allowed to commit directly to the master branch." "I have never seen something I've worked so hard on, for the past 2+ decades-a life passion of mine, you could say-implode this hard," Muhandes added on Bluesky.

Linux Foundation welcomes agentgateway project

The Linux Foundation has incorporated the open source agentgateway project into its organization. This AI-native proxy has been built from the ground up for AI environments, unlike existing solutions that have been adapted later. The project supports important protocols such as A2A and MCP. Under the wing of the Linux Foundation, agentgateway will have room for organic growth. Neutral governance prevents dependence on individual suppliers. This model has proven itself in other successful open source projects.
