Important clarifications:
- The announcement is only about technology, there's no "partnership" between the ASF and GitHub. The ASF is vendor-neutral about all of it's operations. In particular, there is an expectation that Apache project communities continue to do much of their community and release management on ASF servers, not solely on GitHub.
- Many Apache projects asked to use GitHub. It took a while, but Apache infra now allows that, as long as the repos are in our organization. Many projects still use our Subversion repo(s) too.
- The ASF hosts it's own Git repos with all auditable history. So GitHub is merely one way that Apache projects can choose to allow users to contribute. If GitHub went away overnight, the ASF would still have all our own code and could keep working with our own build tools and plain old `git`. The ASF didn't decommission it's own git repos, just some of the tooling we used to mirror between our repos and GitHub. Lars elsethread brought up a useful ASF blog post:
https://blogs.apache.org/foundation/entry/the-apache-softwar... And yes, https://github.com/apache is the ASF. |
