Hello,
I would like to ask if it’s possible to publish this extension to the Open VSX marketplace.
## Context
In the company I am working for, we use SAP HANA Database and the new IDE called ‘Positron’, from the same creators from RStudio. It’s based on VSCode, but only accepts extensions published on Open VSX.
Unfortunately, as Microsoft prohibits usages of the Microsoft marketplace by any other products or redistribution of `.vsix` files from it, in order to use VS Code extensions in non-Microsoft products, it would be nice to have the extension published on VS Code extension namespace in [Open VSX](https://open-vsx.org/).
## What is Open VSX? Why does it exist?
Open VSX is a vendor neutral alternative to the MS marketplace used by most other derivatives of VS Code like [VSCodium](https://vscodium.com/), [Gitpod](https://www.gitpod.io), [OpenVSCode](https://github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server), [Theia](https://theia-ide.org/)-based IDEs, and so on.
You can read on about Open VSX at the Eclipse Foundation’s [Open VSX FAQ](https://www.eclipse.org/legal/open-vsx-registry-faq/).
## How can you publish to Open VSX?
The docs to publish an extension can be found [here](https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx/wiki/Publishing-Extensions). This process is straightforward and shouldn’t take too long. Essentially, you need an authentication token and to execute the `ovsx publish` command to publish your extension. There’s also [a doc](https://github.com/open-vsx/publish-extensions/blob/master/docs/direct_publish_setup.md) explaining the whole process with an example GitHub Action workflow.
Thanks you so much.
