open source galaxy

Not sure how we're going to do this, but it's time to start keeping track of this commitment.

Being able to run our own Galaxy (at one point) will be a great addition!

Creating roles and sharing them on the (public) Galaxy is sometimes prohibitive. Right now, for us this means we end up with Git constructs in playbooks where Control Masters need to have repo access or we end up with folks bunching roles into a generic repo, thus decreasing maintainability.

@ksatirli -- thanks for the feedback.

Update:

I am taking this task on.

Current status: Will be putting together an overview of what the requirements are to get this done, so that we can estimate how long this will take. (Note: this is different from "requirements or wishes for galaxy itself" 😄)

Will post updates as I have them.

ETA for requirements: end of this week

Here's tech things that need doing before we open source the Galaxy:

• Move Galaxy provisioning to its own private repo and refactor how we deploy Galaxy.
• Test/fix the Vagrantfile and playbook for standing up a Vagrant box with a running Galaxy set of services.
• Make branding pluggable and remove Ansible / Red Hat branding.
• Remove Google Analytics and Hubspot things. We'll need a way to insert these bits during our own deployment.
• Create a public Roadmap document.
• Create a contributing document.
• Fix Copyright / License header on all files.
