Hey #rust community, crazy idea:

A crate registry without #Microsoft as a gatekeeper.

If I started one, would you publish your library there?

What should I name it?

Background:

you can't publish on crates.io without #Github account = #microsoft's permission.

https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io/issues/326

As we all know, Microsoft has a history of supporting #Linux and we should trust them.

pffft lol. Just no.

I was thinking about calling it "Tempelhof", because I thought about it in Berlin (hi #akademy2025 ) and to remember a famous history of avoiding another gatekeeper:
