Username change?

[mdo]

Hey there!

Long shot, but I thought I'd ask here anyway. I run the Bootstrap project and more over at @twbs. Is there any chance you'd be willing to part ways with @bootstrap so we could use it in place of twbs? I'd be happy to send along some GitHub swag of your choice as a small thank you!

Hey there, any thoughts on this? We'd love to use the Bootstrap name if it's at all possible.

Figure I'll give this one more shot. Is there anything we can do to convince you to free up this username? If not, that's cool, just let me know and we'll leave it be.

@Mortiferr I work at GitHub and @bootstrap is not inactive I'm afraid. The person is actively modifying the readme to ensure that is the case as well. See https://github.com/bootstrap/Hello-World/commits/master for the latest commit, which simply duplicate the last line of a table, an hour after you posted :).

I've offered free GitHub swag (and I'd also be willing to offer free private repos or even cash honestly) if they'd change the name, but it seems there's no chance it'll happen. Super bummed to have no response from this account knowing full well they see our comments here. For one reason or another they really want this account.

@mdo Open to consideration

@bootstrap Wow, that's exciting to hear! Thank you for considering. Would you like to chat more here or over email maybe? Happy to talk more whenever/however works for you.

@mdo Great! Would prefer talking over email. I just sent you one!

@onaccs There really isn't a need to name call or anything. Appreciate you bumping this thread, but there's nothing to be done here. <3
