Transifex has become proprietary

Fri Jul 4 08:02:05 UTC 2014

Hi!

Great! Glad to hear you remember the origins. We also had some drinks together (some)years ago... ;-)

Anyway. I do respect business of course...

Please keep that attitude of supporting Fedora! Else, Fedora will definitely leave; I've already talked about the reasons...

Oliver, Transifex is already offering a larger plan for Fedora for free for a couple of years now, and we'll continue to do so. We're proud of our origins and are respectful and thankful for all the support Transifex has had from Fedora. I still remember when we were trying to decide on a name for Transifex in #fedora-admin. =)

Hi Dimitris!

I’m a little bit disappointed about this step, especially, since I’m quite sure there would have been other solutions.

I hope you mean it serious, that you want to support the (large) Fedora community with a bigger plan for free!

Else… Well… You know how important it is for us Fedora (and Red Hat) fellows that we’re building (on) F/LOSS! It has been and will always be. Therefore I do completely understand that some people on this list cry out loud now and ask for alternatives (although none come to my mind immediately).

All the best to you and your business,

Oliver

It's a good thing that this came up, it'd be nice to have a clear decision from the Fedora part. I explained in detail the log & reasoning behind the decision to stop maintaining the open-source branch in the GitHub issue Rahul provided.

In the meantime, the Transifex team is happy to be donating one of the bigger plans to Fedora for free (which supports sharing of teams, Transl. Memory and glossary between teams), and we'll continue to do so.

Hi

Unfortunately it looks like Transifex has become proprietary and Fedora moving to using Transifex.com has been cited as one of the reasons why it wasn't important anymore for them to maintain a open source version.

Should we consider alternatives?
