Requirements for a Enterprise level Git hosting are:

Strong authentication
Access control
Resilience
High availability
24×7 support

Is GitHub the right tool for your Enterprise ? GitHub has a great audience with more than 5M repositories and an amazing user-experience, but has demonstated to be not reliable and not resilient to failures.

The good news is that can register for FREE an Enterprise level Git repository at http://gitent-scm.com/signup and use GitEnterprise as prime-level failover solution to GitHub failures: next time that the GitHub 500 page will come, you will be prepared 🙂

Gerrit Hackathon Report – London 2013

Posted on June 25, 2013 by Git and Gerrit Code Review for the Enterprise

It has been officially published the final report of the past Gerrit Hackathon in London (7th-9th of May 2013).

Many thanks to all the participants, locally in London and remotely from NY and CA in the USA: Dariusz, DaveB, DavidO, DavidP, Deniz, Edwin, Emanuele, Fredrik, Gustaf, Luca, Martin, Thomas, Shawn and Magnus !

It has been the very first Hackathon Event without Shawn (at least on-site with us in London … but for sure working hard night and day @Google on Gerrit !), we needed then to self-organise and be effective … the fact that we made it was another demonstration that the Gerrit Open Source Project is healthy and fully Open and Cooperative :-).

Shawn attended remotely anyway, for giving us initial guidance and then for the last day demos and for taking some key Gerrit Product decisions (i.e. moving from Maven to BUCK Build system) and the next steps on the 2013 Road Map.

Next Hackathon: NOW on-going @Qualcomm IC – Boulder CO – USA
