Re: [platform-dev] Has the time come?

Github / Gitlab are all based on git, so the "workflow" is more a matter
of (web) UIs.
If a certain "usage" is recommended/preferred I would suggest to
integrate support for this in EGit (it might autodetect a project as
"eclipse" based on a special marker file or even a config file in the
repository root) that can the auto-magical can handle things like
- adding signed off
- checking ECA *before* commit and giving good advice (e.g. provide a
link to login/create account/whatever...)
- make sure branches are used and force-push on them
- rebase instead of merge on updates
- ... and so on ...

And my feeling is most concerns are driven by "not-invented-here"
syndrome, or maybe just a fear-of-change ;-)
Github has gained a lot of success for many years and many OSS projects
using it or have moved there with great success, so at least the must
have done something right. On the other hand I can't remember of any
Girhub project that has complains to move Gerrit/Self Hosted/...

Given past trends (twists and turns), I would be slightly concerned that
the long term trend might be that we should all use GitLab and that the
Foundation will want to support only one thing and rather two, to save
resource. Of course that could be a misguided thought, but resource
savings do often seem to be a driving factor...
In any case, I think Rolf's suggestion to consider carefully the pros
and cons of the workflows are a very good suggestion. My feeling is
that the current decision making process seems somewhat spontaneous and
anecdotal.

Dirk, All,
Please at this concern to the wiki page.
Besides the legal consideration, is there a difference in the intended
workflow on GitHub or GitLab? IMHO the discussion should first be
about the envisioned workflow, the differences between that envisioned
workflow and the current workflow, and how the change would impact the
current way of working (and current committers). Then it can be
evaluated how the workflow can be executed on the different
platforms/tools. With that a motivated choice for one of the platforms
can be made. After that, a migration and/or improvement plan can be
made, both for the way of working as well as moving the code & build
tools.

Is there a decision made with regards to GitHub vs GitLab? As far
as I understood there are legal constraints to consider. That is
why the foundation prefers GitLab.

Hi,
Before this stalls again, do we have a team?
I see Rolf, Mickael, Sravan, and myself on the wiki page.
What is the first step? I am happy to execute it. Shall I
attempt to port the platform website to Git?

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned the "forced"

Does it make sense to migrate anything to github
if it will subsequently need to be migrated to
gitlab anyway?
I'm just asking...
This is news to me. I have not heard anything about
leaving github.

I'd advise starting by evaluating for
instance migration of PDE to GitHub:
How about starting with the websites. In 99% of
the cases, the websites don't need to dance with
Gerrit, but ATM is required.
The websites are ideal for casual contributions,
especially with the 5-minute deployments that the
webmasters have built, there is instant
gratification.
It would also help us. We can update websites
super fast with the GH workflow.
