Can you explain what exactly is closed with github that is open with gitorious? (I confess lack of familiarity with both)

  Gitorious's web front-end is entirely open source (but a huge pain to setup) but Github's web front-end is proprietary (although they open source many of their backend libraries).

    It's not that big of a pain to set up. It took me just under 2 hours to get it all set up and functioning on Ubuntu Server.

      That's a lot longer than it takes to sign up for Github.

        Your comparison is not fair. Signing up for Gitorious takes the same time as signing up for GitHub (maybe even less since it supports OpenID, I don't know if GitHub does).

          GitHub doesn't support OpenID for registration or login (or if they do, it's hidden away somewhere).
