Do we truly have the ability to choose what license to use? I thought the
IEEE controlled this pretty carefully and that all work done in an IEEE
working group belongs to the IEEE.

Hi all,
 
I use TortoiseGit on windows every day and I find it to be good enough
(occasionally I use the command line, for the more challenging
operations).
I would choose github, this is mainly because it has very good support for
collaboration. The pull request system is very nice, it makes it very easy
for outsiders to contribute (with code review features! making a
formalized review process possible), this is crucial for any open source
project to succeed.
Unfortunately the ticketing system on github is very limited, a different
service could be used for that (for example assembla).
 
I personally like the BSD License, it's very permissive, and well
understood. (If you're choosing a license, please choose a widely-adopted
and well-understood license. Obscure licenses or something of your own
cooking will only hinder adoption and contributions)
 
regards,
Lieven Lemiengre

For Git for Windows I would recommend Git Extensions,
http://code.google.com/p/gitextensions/. It seems to be the best port of
Git to Windows that I have been able to find.

At the last confcall, I took on the task of help us to pick a code-hosting
solution.

Based on my previous email to the list:
http://www.eda-twiki.org/vhdl-200x/hm/1411.html and the discussion following, I
don't think much has changed in terms of either our requirements or the
offering that the various hosts give.

I've used github and Lauchpad in anger: Launchpad is slower, and has a
bunch
of features we don't need (such as making packages for Ubuntu), so I'd go
with git. However, if we want to support Windows *developers* better
(TortoiseGit is a bit ropey at times, I use the command-line) then I'd
lean
back to Launchpad. It doesn't matter much in terms of deployment to
*users*
though, only for the comfort of developers.

We also need to pick a suitable license for the code we publish.

Comments welcome :)

Jim: In terms of making an actual decision, should we have a formal vote?

Cheers,
Martin
