I was thinking and I think it would be a good idea to have a Tek Syndicate GitHub page for the community to use. What do you guys think?

What is GitHub? Actually I really don't want to know.

What? Why?
If the community decided that they wanted to do some big project, then it would be a different story.
But to make a communal github account without any real objective is like putting the cart before the horse.
Its a site where you can upload and maintain your code that you want to make opensource.

@Tjj226_Angel I'm going to have to agree. A community github would be sort of useless. Making a github account or organization is designed for a software project or group with a special goal.
That said, if @chiefshane has a project in mind, I'm all in to help out. It should be hosted on an individuals github account until it becomes so large that it needs multiple maintainers.
I was thinking this because I saw this https://github.com/nasa . There are community Githubs for different organizations.
That's because they're tightly organized and trying to accomplish a common goal. We don't have any major projects like that so it's not really the ideal situation for us.
wasn't our common goal take over the internet and beyond?
I head of something like meadspace that is beyond it.
But i agree with tjj226_angel maybe in a year when more people get into Linux and start understanding the benefits of automatics.
The best way to do this is to ensure that each project is separated and organized, and that the GitHub is simply a place to have an open source collection of code that does various things.
The last thing I'd want is a clusterfuck of a repo with people direct editing code and/or purposely trolling projects because its easily modified.
IMO GitLabs has a little bit better ability to prevent changes to the Master branch. Not that GitHub is bad, I'm just voicing my opinion on what we could use.
All in all, I think its a great idea.
