Title: Project DIY hosting options
Proposer: Jim Hague
Type: Tutorial
Duration: 90 mins
Description:
SourceForge was a cool idea in its day, but now second generation web based
project hosting sites are all the rage. The Big Daddy is GitHub, but others
like Bitbucket provide attractive alternatives.
So, you like the ease of use, or the Pull Request way of life, and you'd love
to host your work project on one of them. Sure, you can get a private
commercial subscription. But do you too have a management that aren't that
keen on hosting all their valuable source code outside the company, on a
machine probably based in the US? And who knows? Post-Snowden, they may have a
point.
In this session I'll look over the current state of the art for in-house
project hosting, focusing in particular on the open source options.
