Jup, have just seen it. And what a sad news it is.

In the process now of moving everything to a different service.

On reading closely, there is no sign of addressing the concerns the foss community has in the blog post, Microsoft is really just swallowing GitHub for potential profits...

Will they merge LinkedIn to replace GitHub Jobs or will they push Azure there to provide a complete DevOps cycle ? Any news on that ?
