Hey,

While I think of it:
> [Gna!] is up-to-date and can work stably as-is for the next 2-3 years.

With a note: Vincent said we need to move from VServer to LXC before
the end of life of Debian Squeeze next February (because the base host
is still running that version - everything else is Jessie).


> fusionforge: ditto

I feel this warrants a little development.

Full disclosure: I've been paid to work on FusionForge for 18 months.
(won't last much longer though)

At this occasion I attempted to get volunteers using Savane to merge
it with FusionForge (on my free time, not part of the job).  I saw
that the forge community was running out of volunteers and couldn't
gather enough momentum.

Still, I started a migration script:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/savane-cleanup.git/tree/sv2ff/
which I didn't complete due to lack of external involvement.


FusionForge itself evolved quite a lot, handles concurrent SSH and
HTTPS repo access while maintaining Unix-user privilege separation, is
packaged in Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora, has a fully automated install
integrating all components including mail system, has instant system
actions (no crons), is running large public instances such as
http://gforge.inria.fr and http://adullact.net , as well internal
ones.  Among interesting features for public forges is Mediawiki
farming.  It's also run in a consortium way, with multiple equal
parties involved.

I encourage you to check it out and make your own unbiaised opinion :P


> What do you think about such concept?

I don't think yet another isolated forge software is going to do any good.
(been there, done that ;))

I think asynchronous operations, when people are now used to
within-the-second reactivity, will put them off.

Hundreds of kilometers :)

I guess the meeting will probably be impromptu someday.

Cheers!
