A community lead and a continuous integration architect walk into a room and argue about the best practices around developing your infrastructure to support your growth as an open source project. Items of conversation will include: Configuration management, effective discovery for legacy systems, access control management as a tool for community growth, creating compromise between different stakeholder groups, and models for iteration in an open source environment. The overall goal for this session is answering the question about how to resolve the balance between closed access and open contribution for a project ecosystem. GlusterFS is the model project discussed here, but this is a conversation about governance through open source infrastructure.
Nigel is a developer turned sysadmin, who now does CI Infrastructure for the Gluster project at Red Hat. In the past, he's spoken at Linuxcon Berlin, Pycon Pune, and Open Source Summit Tokyo.
