[VTK ARB] Git

[Wylie, Brian]

Hi All,

Sorry to come in late on the Git topic (I've been out of the country for a few weeks).

Sandia has a few fans of mercurial, and I haven't seen it mentioned at all. Sandia has quite a few active VTK developers (about 1/3 on windows), so we would like to see those people supported by whatever decision gets made. Also we're having "issues" with github, we are currently tracking these down but are having a much more positive experience with bitbucket (equiv site for mercurial).

Here's a link that folks may already know about done by the folks at Google code. One thing to note here is that  HTTP transport will be critically important to "lab folks" who have firewall issues (mercurial seems to be better in this regard, although I'm sure git is worked on this...)

Subject: [VTK ARB] Next meeting

I'd like to schedule the next VTK ARB meeting. I propose 10:00am on November 3 ET. Again this is a hardship on Andrew and some of the mountain time folks, but I think it's a reasonable compromise (eventually Andrew's mounting good karma is going to allow him to specify a more convenient time for himself :-)).

Here are the proposed topics:

+ Compiler support
+ Documentation / feedback (uservoice, InsightJournal) update and next steps
+ Development process (continuing discussions) Git / SVN

Berk is in the middle of setting up UserVoice and it should be done by the next meeting, so we will have accomplished something :-)

The agenda may appear sparse, but remember we are aiming to pick one topic that can be decided and executed (compilers) in combination with meatier issues; as well as keeping the meeting less than an hour in length.

If you want a head start on these topics, the ARB email list is ready to accommodate you :-)

Will
