9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Ok, welcome back to the second session[br]of the day.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's going to be Alexander Wirt talking[br]about salsa.debian.org.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
[Applause]

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Thank you, good morning.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I usually don't give talks in english,[br]so please be nice to me.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
However, I'm here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I want to talk today about our journey[br]for Alioth

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which is still running, but not for long[br]anymore,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to our new service, salsa.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I want to get a little bit into the history[br]of old things

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and what we have already achieved,[br]what we still need to achieve

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and what are our plans for the future.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Let's start with the basic things,[br]who am I.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I am the guy who rejects the mails[br]on lists.debian.org,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I am a listmaster.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I am the guy that rejects your backports.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I am the backports ftp master.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And I am the guy that will destroy[br]alioth.debian.org.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
For the last ten years

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
[Applause]

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I was an admin by accident of[br]alioth.debian.org.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is another story I will tell you[br]in a few minutes.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Beside from that, I work as an OpenSource[br]consultant at credativ,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which is a small company in Germany[br]which is specialized in OpenSource,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
we only do OpenSource consulting[br]in Germany.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We do what today is called DevOps,[br]we do every kind of consulting.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
If you do something with OpenSource,[br]we are probably the ones you can talk with.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I am a father of two wonderful girls,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they're not here unfortunately,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but otherwise I wouldn't be able[br]to work.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And in my little bit spare time, I do[br]role playing games and Tabletop games.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In theory there should be a picture now.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
There's a picture missing,[br]I don't know why,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which should tell "We need you".

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
A little bit of advertisement, if you[br]want to do OpenSource work in Germany,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
paid,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and you need a job, please talk to me.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We are always looking for good people,[br]especially in C development,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
kernel development, but also of course[br]consulting.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So please talk to me.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Some steps in history.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Some years ago, ???[br]2008, 2009,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I told the alioth channel

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"Hey, if you need help, I can help with[br]system administration,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
not the GForge stuff which is running[br]above,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but if you need help, tell me."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
[Audience] Big mistake

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Yeah.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
One or two years went by,[br]and step by step

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
all alioth admins left.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We were alone in the channel.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And around that time, I detected

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"Hey, I have sudo permissions[br]and I'm admin"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Somebody made me an admin.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, I had to decide that I will be[br]the person that is the future alioth admin

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and I stepped in.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So it was the beginning of our alioth[br]journey.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Then, in DebConf15, we had a long[br]'Birds of a Feather'

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
where we talked about several security[br]problems in collab-maint,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
some of you are maybe not aware of it,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but since we use git at filesystem level[br]on alioth,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
we are introducing a number of interesting[br]security problems

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
like if someone writes a hook, that hook[br]gets executed every time someone pushes.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So you have basically shell access.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And of course you execute it as[br]your own uid.
