The “holiday from open-source” is an interesting idea from the gotosocial folks:
We’re taking a little holiday
From 19 December to 02 January, we’re going to be closing shop. What this means:
We’ll make the Github repository read-only for those two weeks so no new issues or PRs can be opened (except by the core team, if they’re suddenly possessed by a fervor to work for some reason).
We’ll make the channels in the Matrix space read-only too, so you can still scroll through messages in the help channel, for example, but you won’t be able to post anything new there.
This will give us some time to chill out, see friends, do some knitting, play video games, and take some wintery walks. Sloths need breaks too!
