This is one of the main reasons that I'm not using Git at work, there hasn't been a super solid way to get the Github functionality on an internal network where it's 100% secure. This is a REALLY smart move for the guys at Github.

agreed. I don't feel comfortable uploading all my code to a third party, which in this case is even located in a different country I'm not familiar with the legislation details. I'm using gitosis and redmine internally now, but this one is really interesting

But you're comfortable running a binary as root?

Running a binary as root is pretty different from uploading all of your company's intellectual property to a foreign corporation's servers.

How do you guys do code obfuscation and allow your service to be packaged into a downloadable, well, package?

One of my startups is thinking about doing something of the sort, for academic institutions to throw our software on their own servers.

You can use Git without Github, you know.

So roughly how much would this cost for a small team, say <10? I'm assuming far too much for me, since it's not visible anywhere, but I'm still curious :)

I'm not from Github, but the blog post says "Please keep in mind that FI is priced competitively with other internal code management solutions and is well over the cost of our most-expensive hosted plan." Their most expensive hosted plan is the Giga at $200/month.

It is JRuby based, so it is compiled to Java bytecodes. It is packaged using a BitRock custom stack that is a superset of BitNami JRuby Stack.

I think one of the most exciting points here is that they were able to get one of the most popular Rails applications running on JRuby without too much apparent hassle. Hopefully we'll hear a bit more from them about this process and how it went, but this is an exciting announcement for the Ruby community!

I'm really excited by this, but I'd love to hear some guidance on pricing. Is this for hacker shops like mine, or for the IBMs of the world?

I think it's for the IBMs of the world, that won't allow 3rd party hosted services... most small companies are fine with it.
