I found an nice pitfall this morning when using the Git FetchFactory. If you PDE Build happens to run on Java 1.5. the Git FetchFactory will not work and PDE build will return strange error messages where the CVS fetch factory is trying to checkout git tags. You dont get a clear error message because the Git Fetchfactory bundle simply doesnt start.
Upgrading to Java 1.6. helps instantly.

It's slightly concerning because at least the old method of mitigating control via licenses like GPL, works pretty well. However, in the future age of services running mostly on the server-side, there's a very small percentage of software out there that is released under the AGPL which would keep the spirit of the GPL alive for server-based applications.

I guess we will see what the future will hold :)

I am not worried about our ability to tinker, as long as the web remains as strong a platform as it is today. It is easier than ever before to make functionality available on the web, including tools, and I have yet to see a walled garden that does not include a web browser. Web pages now can access things like sensors, the camera, etc. - pretty much the only thing that a web page cannot access currently is data stored on the device, such as files on a desktop computer, or contacts/photos/... on a mobile device. Doesn't seem like a problematic restriction to me since most of these live "in the cloud" anyway.

Now your point about using web-based tools as control points is a good one. I am optimistic and think of this as a good thing, but perhaps that's just because I work in the tools business, and see this as a chance for tool makers to earn money, which historically has been very hard.

I'm not saying FOSS doesn't work, I've used Debian as my primary desktop since Fall 2000 (and as a secondary machine since 1996). But I always 'seem' to be the last one on the conference wifi, or my multi-monitor doesn't 'quite' work with the projector; and I never did manage to get the printer or scanner to work. My on-line banking website told me 'this browser is not supported' (even though it was FF, WTF). I always have to ask people send things in OO format (or PDF) -- although google has made this easier on me.
Yes I've stood up for my technology choice. I renewed my mortgage with a different bank because of their bogus warning (and I told them this). I pointed out the terrible App Store Policies to almost all my Friends / Family members. But at the end-of-the-day, while I'm trying to figure out why the birthday video of my daughter won't play on my machine (turns out I was missing some MPlayer Codec), the rest of my family is enjoying themselves watching the movie on my sisters computer.But yes, things are much better. I've not compiled a kernel since 2006 and besides 'Slide presentation software' there is nothing I miss on my GNU/Linux machine.

@8e36407e3185b93c7fd35bfdba2572f8 FOSS just works for me - and a bunch of friends (non-geeks!) - just fine. Today's bad reputation of FOSS software IMO needs to be updated.

This was likely the future that RSM and the FSF saw unfolding, 25 years ago. I think there is a lot to be said about the value of 'Free' Software (and I really mean Free software not just Open Source software).

On the other hand there is the practical side of things. With these apps that have been vetted and approved, things just seem to work. And for most consumers, that's what they really care about.

No worries Rob, you're all east coast on me now anyway :)

Re: EclipseDay at the Googleplex 2011

Correct, JGit is also embedded in Gerrit to serve Git repositories which is used by many companies (including Google).

Is JGit not also used in Gerrit (by Google) ?

Re: Apache and Politics Over Code?

David Gerard — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 04:57:48 -0000

They did this to OpenOffice.org already. It was already using Mercurial, and LibreOffice converted that to git (as you can do almost-losslessly) and has been going great guns.

Apache went "Not invented here!" and told the new Apache OOo that Subversion SHALL be used.

The ludicrous part: OOo had had a previous disastrous attempt to move to Subversion before going to Mercurial! [1] [2]

Never mind the health of the actual projects - everything has to push ~~Windows~~ Subversion as well.

The Debian popcon graph is not accurate because the package name for git was git-core until april 2010. Before that the name git was used by another package.

There is however another impressing Debian statistic which is the VCS used to maintain Debian packages: http://upsilon.cc/~zack/stuff/...
So for DVCSs Git has won upon Debian Developers and I can tell that there is a steady migration from SVN to Git in Debian.

There's another interessting fact, which is the list of large free software communities using Git:
Debian, Drupal, Fedora, Gnome, KDE, Linux Kernel, Perl, PHP (decided to migrate to Git), PostgreSQL, Qt, Ruby on Rails, freedesktop.org
