The first edition of The GitHub Reflog, curated by Kenneth Reitz, highlights notable GitHub repositories, featuring devstructure/blueprint as the Repo of the Week for its ability to reverse engineer servers and create replicable server setups through bootstrap packages. The newsletter also showcases drbrain/meme, a Ruby gem for generating meme images from the command line, and taitems/Aristo-jQuery-UI-Theme, which offers a visually appealing theme for jQuery UI. Other noteworthy projects include brainsik/virtualenv-burrito, which simplifies Python environment setup, maccman/ichabod for running headless JavaScript tests, and twitter/commons, a collection of Twitter's internal JVM libraries. Additionally, extend/cowboy is highlighted as an evolving Erlang HTTP server project, with Kenneth inviting feedback and contributions while promoting The Changelog and GitHub Explore for further open source news.
