One of the contradictions of the modern open-source movement is
that projects which respect user freedoms often rely on proprietary
tools that do not: communities often turn to non-free software for
code hosting, communication, and more. At Configuration Management
Camp (CfgMgmtCamp) 2026, Jan Ainali spoke
about the need for open-source projects to adopt open tools;  
he hoped to persuade new and mature projects to switch to open
alternatives, even if just one tool, to reduce their dependencies on
tech giants and support community-driven infrastructure.
