R&D projects
Use the Forge!
The Forge is now operational and can be used by any SystemX project's member. It is already used by ELA, FSF, IMM, ROM, SIM, and soon MIC projects. You may recall that the Forge comes in two flavors: a ready to use Git server for source version management on the one side, along with a FlexNet license servers; on the other side, tools and guidance to host your own custom server infrastructure in a private cloud. The community is growing, we strongly advise you to join and leverage its flexible and reliable toolset. Paolo Crisafulli will run a heads up session about the Forge on January, 17th . His abstract will come soon on BlueKiwi.
