Hi,

I have created the Ruby Driver for CUBRID Database System. Currently
working on ActiveRecord Adapter for CUBRID. The driver gem has already
been pushed to RubyGems.org, so available through "gem install cubrid".
At this moment the source code is hosted at sourceforge.net in CUBRID's
SVN.

Recently some users proposed to branch out and open a separate project
for CUBRID Ruby Driver/AR at Github, so that the developers could make
contributions.

Before we make the final decision, I would like to ask for everyone's
opinion what is the best place (again, in your opinion) to host Ruby
Project's source code? Currently the solid options are Github.com and
SF.net. I heard Ruby devs prefer Github over sf.net. This will be very
important decision, as the further complete development and project
hosting will take place over there.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Esen.

By the way, the proposal came from twitter user. The conversation can be
traced from here http://twitter.com/fredwu/statuses/20136015846.

rubyforge.org is the granddaddy, and does now support git I believe, but
these days almost everyone uses github. It has great on-line browsing of
commits and history.

Sounds like more and more Rubyists prefer Github. At least there is
something to back up the decision.

Hi Esen,

As I suggested in the tweet, I am pro-Github.

Don't get me wrong, SF.net is an excellent platform, however, in the
ruby community, Github is a *much* more popular collaborative platform.

During the SF.net days, I rarely submit patches. But ever since I
started using Github, I've been contributing to numerous projects
including Rails. It is just so easy to fork and contribute to projects:

It is safe to assume that by open sourcing the code on Github, you would
attract more attention, and developers are more likely to fork the
project and contribute.

I don't know about the others, but I personally only use SF.net to
download packaged files... (guilty as charged, I know.)

Just my 2 cents. :-)

Cheers,
Fred
