Note: we encourage you to add the below to your existing `README.md` on your GitHub project.
== We're Using GitHub Under Protest ==
This project is currently hosted on GitHub. This is not ideal; GitHub is a proprietary, trade-secret system that is not Free and Open Souce Software (FOSS). We
are deeply concerned about using a proprietary system like GitHub to develop our FOSS project. We have an [open {bug ticket, mailing list thread, etc.} ](INSERT_LINK)
where the project contributors are actively discussing how we can move away from GitHub in the long term. We urge you to read about the [Give up GitHub](https://GiveUpGitHub.org) campaign from [the Software Freedom Conservancy](https://sfconservancy.org) to understand some of the reasons why GitHub is not
a good place to host FOSS projects.
If you are a contributor who personally has already quit using GitHub, please [check this resource](INSERT_LINK) for how to send us contributions without using
GitHub directly.
