In the early 52°North days, we managed our source code on a public open source platform: SourceForge. We started with CVS (classic!), switched to SVN (wow, I can delete folders!) and after a while we decided to host all 52°North related source code in our own IT environment. However, keeping an eye on what was going in the VCS world, we felt that this approach was outdated and started to look into Git and GitHub. This initiative was mainly driven by 52°North staff developers’ curiosity and the promise of a better development work flow. We found GitHub provided very easy collaboration, communication and outreach dedicated to source code and very much in line with the 52°North philosophy. After a few test runs, we started to migrate the first of our active software projects to GitHub.
