Gerrit code review, or Github’s fork and pull model?
I am starting a software project that will be team AND community developed. I was previously sold on gerrit, but now Github’s fork and pull request model seem to almost provide more tools, ways to visualize commits, and ease of use.
Design question about a concurrent forking server
I’m in the early stages of designing a client/server application. The clients will be batch programs that read a file of customer contact data (name, address, email address, phone no’s) and pass these components to the server, which will add them (if not already present) to corresponding mySQL tables and return id’s for each component. In order to boost performance, the server will have spawned four “manager” servers, each tasked with looking up and possibly adding a new row, and will pass the four components via IPC to those managers so that they can work concurrently.
Copying (forking) an open source project to your own repository
I’m currently using an open source project called CodeFirstMembership for one of my projects. There’s a critical issue that I need to get past, and the more I use it, the more I find things I need to modify. It’s extremely useful, except it doesn’t look like the developer has much time to update it (totally cool, we’ve all been there). I’m wondering about the etiquette and legality and general “hey, you stole my code you jerk” responses I’d get if I copied the source, moved it to github and made my own fork.
