For +previous editions, check out +`The Reflog Archive `_. + +Community Update +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Last week, Apple's `MacRuby `_ project +began to officially migrate to GitHub for its development. This +week, the `Eclipse Foundation `_ and +the `Glasgow Haskell Compiler `_ both +created official GitHub mirrors. GHC even accepts pull requests! + +Welcome, guys! + +Featured Repo of the Week +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +`divegeek/uscode `_ + +This small project from Shawn Willden is simple, but ambitious. It +is a repository that contains a complete, up-to-date version of the +United States Code, in the most hacker-friendly format possible: +version-controlled plaintext. The repo is updated regularly with +official modifications from the US Federal Government websites. +Curious to see what modifications were made? Run ``git diff``. + +The purpose of this repo is explore new ideas related to the +legislation process in the digital age. Check out +`the readme `_ to learn +more. + +Awesome Repo of the Week +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +`scoates/owty `_ + +Sean Coates found a novel use for GitHub this week: comparing beer +recipes. + +He's using the new +`image compare views `_ +to showcase +`the difference a little yeast makes `_ +in his homebrewed cream ale. + +`|MERGE| `_ + +Cheers! :sparkles: :beer: :sparkles: + +Remarkable Repos +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + + +- `dotcloud/cloudlets `_: + This project is awesome. It's a tool for creating small, universal + server images under version control. The resulting images can be + exported to "any bootable format known to man" for deployment in + virtually any environment. Formats include: Xen, KVM, EC2 AMI, + Tarballs, and ol' fashioned bootable CDs. Soon, cloudlets will + offer support for full VM generation (vmkdk, xen, and qemu) and + multi-image stacks. If you're looking to create turn-key server + images for your application or platform, this is a great place to + start. + +- `josevalim/elixir `_: + This is a functional language runtime built on top of Erlang. It + provides object orientation, a Ruby-esque syntax, and can + interoperate seamlessly with standard Erlang code and datatypes. + The project is still under development, but already has a large + contributor and user base. If you'd like to assist in its + development, checkout the + `project roadmap `_ + and send a pull request. + +- `ilektrojohn/creepy `_: + Ever wonder what personal data is floating around the web for the + world to see? Checkout creepy. Point it to all of your social + network accounts, and it displays a map filled with your past + locations. Data is fetched from a number of social APIs and photo + services. It even goes as far as to parse Geo-location tags from + uploaded image EXIF data. Creepy! + +- `jordansissel/fpm `_: + This is an interesting project. FPM, "Effing Package Management", + takes out all the headaches of creating ``.deb`` and ``.rpm`` + packages for your own consumption. It allows you to distribute your + application in any style and configuration you want, abandoning all + distro-specific best practices. The author designed it to be as + simple as possible: "Here's my install dir and here are some + dependencies; please make a package". This may or may not be a good + idea. Give it a try and decide for yourself :) + + +Promising Repos +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + + +- `javisantana/whitebrd.me `_: + This brand new project looks very promising. It's a webapp that + provides realtime collaborative sketching. It's essentially + Etherpad but for simple drawings. To try it out, open up + `The Official GitHub Reflog Whiteboard™ `_ + and start sketching! + +- `atomicobject/objection `_: + This is an MIT licensed dependency injection framework for iOS and + OSX ObjectiveC applications. It strives to be as lightweight, yet + flexible, as possible. The project is still fairly young and has a + small todo list, so forks are encouraged. + +- `mikeal/spider `_: This + `node.js `_ project is a simple + programmatic web spider, powered by jQuery. It has a very small + code base (~200 SLOC), yet offers custom user agent strings, + connection pools, and memory cache. + + +Feedback is appreciated!
