Are you involved in a github or bitbucket project or have one of your own? Share it here and lets see if we can spark some collaboration.
If anyone is interested in keeping up-to-date with progress on the slashcode that drives SN and other member repos, check out #github on irc.sylnt.us.

I got The Epoch Init System [github.com], aqu4bot [github.com], who lurks in #soylent on IRC, Bricktick [github.com], my ncurses Arkanoid clone, and my msot recent project, WZBlue [github.com], a simple Warzone 2100 lobby monitor based off of aqu4bot's facilities for the same purpose.

I have a currently empty bitbucket account because github's recent asshattery and things like Atom are making me unsure of its future. But I do have plenty of things on github itself. These [github.com] are the projects I've got there currently. Stuff for Steam, userscripts, my dotfiles (and associated simple lil' manager) and things of that nature. Haven't really moved all my projects there because I'm still probably-irrationally paranoid of third party hosts but there's a few things there. I've also did a few trivial patches for slashcode.
This is kind of an open ended question though. I really doubt we'll get any cross-contribution going except for slashcode. I respect the spirit of the post though. We should have more of this.

I refuse to use GitHub on moral grounds. I won't host my code there, I won't report bugs for projects hosted there, and I won't even download software from there if I can't get it from somewhere else.
To me, GitHub, the GitHub philosophy, and its users represents everything that's wrong with software development today:
I refuse to subject myself to idiocy like that.

I'm digging the irony of posting that on a site that uses github for its own codebase. It doth amuse.

I'm painfully aware of that fact. I'd like to report bugs that I've seen with this site, but I can't because you guys use GitHub for tracking those.
And I don't see it as "ironic". When I use this site, I'm not using GitHub itself. It's just like when I use OpenBSD, I'm not using CVS because that's what they choose to use to manage the OpenBSD source code.

You can report them in IRC if you like. Or to dev@soylentnews.org. Or to me or paulej72 directly via email. We're not sticklers for them coming in via github; we can post them there ourselves.

Apart from "a shitty, slow, bloated UI", I don't see how any of the points you make affect my use of Github.
My code is totally independent from Github, what is stored there is just one copy of the code. The code is still totally decentralized, the git way.
What is indeed centralized are the issues, comments, etc., but it's no biggie if I want to move from there, the code is still safe.

Not quite yet, but after submitting this article on processing old voyager data [soylentnews.org] I've actually snagged most of the data sets, and built (Qt) processors for data from Raw Voyager imaging, Vicar records (processed Voyager and Cassini) and PDS3 (Venus Express) which dump out images and the associated tag data. (It's curious how a boring old string parse can get interesting when the fields include "Spacecraft Name").
I'm considering cleaning up the code, and putting up a few blog posts on how to parse through the data and an associated repo in the next couple of weeks.
Links will probably turn up on my journal and/or submissions at some point, if anyone else is interested. (Probably after I've cleaned up the Huffman decompressor I'm using for raw voyager line extraction).

This is the most interesting project I've put in github in recent memory, especially to the programmer-heavy soylent audience. Anybody who's used cscope for C/C++ programming but now works on Ruby or Go will appreciate it:

well, you asked, so here you go.
this [github.com] is a tool I'm using to make working with our fluid dynamic DNS databases as bearable as possible.
and there's also this other thing [github.com] if you're into various dynamical systems.
I've seriously considered contributing to scipy in one way or another, but I don't really have time to follow the correct procedures. I guess I'm a bad example when it comes to upstream contributions...

I have not used github. I have a sourceforge account I haven't logged into in a long time. Never used bitbucket either. I mostly play around with my own projects on my own equipment.
Remember those old tools lex and yacc, and the GNU replacements flex and bison? I've been playing with this bisonc++, which is bison updated to produce not just C++ code, but C++11 code. I looked at Antlr, but upon learning that the documentation for it was all locked up in a book, I passed. Didn't seem free enough to me.
Bisonc++ has been slow going though, as there isn't much documentation, mainly a few examples on the man page, and I never became an expert on bison. Also, the examples are buggy. The code that bisonc++ generates will not compile because it's missing (or I missed) a few definitions. Have to edit bisonc++'s output, add or modify class prototypes, and it's not obvious exactly what to do. For one of the examples, the man page even tells you that you have to edit the output file.
Is anyone else using bisonc++ or flexc++?

For anyone wanting to manage local file/print/proxy/groupware and lots more check out Fusion Directory [github.com], though I've been distracted with other projects and haven't helped in a little while. I still lurk in the #fusiondirectory IRC channel on FreeNode. I also lurk in #synnefo, which is a project for managing a VM cluster on commodity hardware... I've only ever provided bug reports for them though.

About 15 years ago before I worked in Software, I got sick of listening to the poseurs on Slashdot ranting on about what wonderful expensive CPUs they had with neat features and oh-so-clever proprietary software so I had an idea which went absolutely nowhere. This discussion reminded me about it, so I started it up again with 9 years of additional experience over the last time I committed any code, libSIMD [sourceforge.net], I was young and over-ambitious...
