Google Code Shutting Down Finally! by Nobody: 4:35am On Mar 13, 2015
See what google sent to me

Hello,

Earlier today, Google announced we will be turning down Google Code Project Hosting. The service started in 2006 with the goal of providing a scalable and reliable way of hosting open source projects. Since that time, millions of people have contributed to open source projects hosted on the site.

But a lot has changed since 2006. In the past nine years, many other options for hosting open source projects have popped up, along with vibrant communities of developers. It’s time to recognize that Google Code’s mission to provide open source projects a home has been accomplished by others, such as GitHub and Bitbucket.

We will be shutting down Google Code over the coming months. Starting today, the site will no longer accept new projects, but will remain functionally unchanged until August 2015. After that, project data will be read-only. Early next year, the site will shut down, but project data will be available for download in an archive format.

As the owner of the following projects, you have several options for migrating your data. . .

Wow, google is slowly becoming closed source. Wait and see, new android verions from 5.2+ will become as shitty closed as apples iPhone and MacOS.

It is very possible. Google used to have some nice open APIs before, but they are gradually closing them one by one. One of them was the former finance API.

I cant blame them. Witness Cyanogen trying to fork off Android. Of course they will fail, but in the meantime dilute the brand

Google shuts down projects people love like Google Code & Google Reader, but they refuse to shut down Google Plus. So sad. sad

^^^This is one of the reasons I was scared to invest my time in some of these google projects, and some of their platforms that seem like a blessing to programmers.
In fact rather than use google chart API, i will rather buy a script online such as highcharts.com and so on.

Google isn't shutting down google plus anytime soon.

You seem to think that g+ is a failed project?


As long as google keeps winning among the developer community in other tech space. It's only a matter of time for the whole world to catch on With g+
