Forking, The Future of Open Source, and Github
,----[ Quote ]
| Last Wednesday, at the kind invitation of the
| folks from Eclipse, I had the opportunity to
| sit with more august company â Justin
| Erenkrantz (Apache), MÃrten Mickos
| (Eucalyptus), and Jason van Zyl
| (Maven/Sonatype) â on a panel charged with
| debating the future of open source. Among the
| questions posed to us was this: is the future
| of open source going to be based on
| communities such as Apache and Eclipse or
| will it be based on companies that sell open
| source?
|
| My reply? Neither. Itâs Github.

Open-sourcers get with the git
,----[ Quote ]
| There was a time when the Linux community used BitKeeper as its source code
| control system, after switching from the open-source CVS. But then Samba
| developer Andrew Tridgell figured out you could telnet to a BitKeeper server,
| type "HELP," and get a list of commands. Upon hearing of Tridgell's daring
| hack, BitMover - the company that maintains BitKeeper - got all
| license-revokey on the community, changing the terms of the agreement and
| demanding that Linux developers start paying for its software.

GitHub unites Version Control with the Pastie
,----[ Quote ]
| What does this mean for pastie users? Each pastie, or gist, is its own Git
| repository. By placing pasties inside a git repository, GitHub is able to
| redefine how pasties work.

| Even though GitHub is only about eight months old, they already host just
| over 10,000 open source projects. More importantly, they are already
| profitable with paying customers for their private repository hosting service
| numbering in the thousands.

Git Spawns a Business
,----[ Quote ]
| The up-and-coming version control system git has begun to prove its mettle
| outside of Linux kernel development. The Ruby on Rails community has embraced
| it wholeheartedly with many core projects migrating to the system recently.
| The climate has become right for businesses to spring up in the wake of this
| adoption.

Git to Manage Android Code
,----[ Quote ]
| Git is an open source version control system designed to handle very large
| projects with speed and efficiency, but itâs also suited for small personal
| repositories; it is especially popular in the open source community, serving
| as a development platform for projects like the Linux Kernel, WINE or X.org.

Git is the next Unix
,----[ Quote ]
| Much like Unix itself, git's actual software doesn't matter; it's the file
| format, the concepts, that change everything.
|
| Whether they're called git or not, some amazing things will come of this.
