How is this: http://wiki.openstack.org/GerritWorkflow Better than this: http://wiki.openstack.org/LifeWithBzrAndLaunchpad
At the last summit, we said it wasn't a bzr vs git issue but, rather, a workflow issue. People hated LP and loved github. But now it seems we're only using github for git. An open source project lives and dies by its contributors. I think this is like putting up a large stone wall with a sign on it that says "Stay out". At least with LP, it was easy enough that people could dip their toe in. $0.02 -S ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of Josh Kearney [[email protected]] Sent: Friday, August 26, 2011 2:51 PM To: Johannes Erdfelt Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Openstack] Why are we using github again? ++ Either we should use github or we shouldn't (until it meets our requirements).
