[asterisk-biz] Releasing software as open source

[Sidney VanNess Ph.D.]

+1 for GitHub. We used gitlab internally for about two years. Works well overall, but they put out updates about every 18 seconds and it becomes a lot of work to keep it fully up-to-date. Recently decided to throw in the towel and move everything to Amazon’s CodeCommit. Zero issues so far and free for first 5 devs.

But of course, you don't have full control and sometimes you reach some limitations. At kamailio we had to write some script) to hook into their APIs because we wanted a special email format for notifications as well as keep a mirror in near real time (for who is interested to read more, I published it as OSS: https://github.com/miconda/gitpushub <https://github.com/miconda/gitpushub>). Another limitation is not offering private repository without paying. As an OSS project, sometimes you want to keep few admin scripts private.

So it might not be the case there, but I find it a hassle not to have the issue tracker, version control, review system in the same portal for an OSS project -- it can add overhead to administration, taking cycles from other OSS activities. We did it in the past and I would not return there. The story can be different if you have dedicated sysadmin resources.

But Gitlab can be also self-hosted (the suite of tools used there is open source), however it is seems to require a dedicated system for an easy installation and maintenance, be safe to not break other services.
