The GitHub repos at https://github.com/organicmaps are all public archives now, but there's no information on them about why.

We have a temporary glitch with GitHub—probably some contributor was geolocated in a sanctioned region (no details yet). All required documents to unlock the account have been uploaded. Don't blame Microsoft/GitHub - it is just U.S. law. Please be patient. It should be unblocked soon.

Thanks for the information. We agree with the first commenter though, more people and projects should move away from GitHub and to CodeBerg or their own ForgeJo instance.

Are there any good public Forgejo instances? Or are most people selfhosting?

[–] SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org 3 points 1 day ago

We found a list of some public instances. However a quick search online seems to indicate most are likely self hosting.
