open source this repo

[andistuder]

I think this is a good candidate for a open sourcing.

Needs updating of licence.

I think this is a good candidate for a open sourcing.

@andistuder: What makes it a good candidate? I think it's good to articulate the reasons - this helps significantly with expediting the process.

Personally, I'd rather wait until after we've used it ourselves successfully and are happy with the way the code.

[dalizard]

I agree with @andistuder but with @sgerrand as well 😸 I think we should give it some time for production testing and polishing.

[andistuder]

@sgerrand IMO, in general good candidates solve something that other people may need to solve also; without giving away trade secrets. For Loga, our tool to standardise and aggregate logs both is the case.

To the timing: personally I would prefer to have repos public from the start as visibility can have positive impact on how we write code. Plus, making an existing project public is often a bit of a hurdle that is then never taken.

The 0.x version should indicate to users that the project is in pre-production state.

@whamilton42 @timstott @RafaelPC @sgerrand given we are now in v1.x, maybe now the time has come to open source this gem?

[bliof]

👍 for opening the gem, but let's finish https://github.com/FundingCircle/loga/milestone/2 because at the moment it is a bit unusable (we all use Rails.logger.info and there is no easy way to specify a context).

[fernandezj]

All,
happy to authorise opening this gem. Only two comments:

• confirmation from Mark (security) about any requirements we could not be covering (just precaution, not assumption from me)
• review open issues
• write down wiki

[timstott]

We've agreed with @fernandezj to disable the wiki in favour of keeping the README.
I'm working on adding a CHANGELOG.

I think @sgerrand has reviewed the open issues/PRs

Tomorrow I will spend time with @mcsche on the security aspect 🎉

[mcsche]

@timstott @mcsche is at a conference and will return next Monday.

[0mega]

Should we remove the ticket number from the PR title?

[sgerrand]

@0mega: ✨
