Cloud Foundry had a huge code push to Github a few days ago with many changes and improvements, including a public Gerrit instance at http://reviews.cloudfoundry.org where you can participate directly in the mainline development. Github is used purely as a mirror: https://github.com/cloudfoundry

There are many forks of Cloud Foundry. How many will survive? Which will merge back? The story has yet to be written.

Much love to our sponsors!
