Re: [gitorious] Proper protocol
Hello, We'll investigate what it will take to use SSL client certificates for authentication, since this will: - save the users from entering their passwords when pushing/putting the credentials in .git/config or elsewhere - provide better integrity for credentials: you'd need access to the actual client certificate to gain access to someone else's account, not just a password which may be shared between different sites You may like to take a look at WebID - http://www.w3.org/wiki/WebID It works by authenticating with client certificates within browser and beyond! This thread may also come handy: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xg-webid/2011Jun/0039.html WebID has very active and helpful community where I believe you can find support if you need...

[gitorious] Conference: Federated Social Web Europe 2011, June 3-5th Berlin
Hello, Few months ago I have touched here subject of federated social networking and gitorius sites working in such 'federated' way. Recently I have also started participating in W3C Federated Social Web Incubator Group. People from this group prepare a conference in the subject which will occur on June 3-5th in Berlin. More information on events website: http://d-cent.org/fsw2011/ Page of W3C FSW IG: http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/federatedsocialweb/ Wiki with lists of protocols, platforms implementing them etc.: http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/federatedsocialweb/wiki/Main_Page I would really like that eventually activity feeds, commenting, merge requests etc. work across gitorious instances on different domains. Maybe some any of active developers here, interested in the subject would like to join in for this conference, and of course everyone can join the FSW group mentioned above.

[gitorious] Re: Gitorious sites working in federation?
Few simple use cases I think of: Let's say I have an account to the gitorious site hosted at: http://example.net I go to: http://gitorious.org/gitorious/mainline And than instead clicking on 'Clone repository' I click on something like 'Clone repository to remote account' Than I just give my remote id and sites do all authentication, authorization dance of their own... I would like to use webfinger - http://code.google.com/p/webfinger which fits nicely in the git email field =) Also would at least try to use WebID - http://esw.w3.org/WebID on its mailing list I asked about using it together with webfinger and someone suggested a way of making them both go along. Eventually all features like 'Watch', 'Merge request' etc. could have remote option to them... I also strongly prefer sticking to open protocols and not look too much into integrating with any proprietary technologies. Rather invite projects using those proprietary technologies to work together on open protocols which everyone can use! I hope I clarify myself a bit... -- To post to this group, send email to gitorious@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to gitorious+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com
[gitorious] Re: Gitorious sites working in federation?
BTW does any of you uses Twitter? If yes I would encourage you to put up your own StatusNet instance - http://status.net and than invite all your Twitter friends to create an account or put up an another instance themselves. Hopefully you could fast recreate all your connections but over distributed network, based on open source software and open protocols. One day I would like to ask people using for example Github to consider doing similar move and to use federated network of Gitorous sites. Even better if people from Github would join developing needed open protocols and one day make their software also capable of working in federation and inter-operating with Gitorious (and others?). But maybe let's don't sidetrack too much into talking about Tweeter on this thread =) If someone likes we could discuss it further maybe in this group: http://groups.google.com/group/ostatus-discuss -- To post to this group, send email to gitorious@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to gitorious+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com
[gitorious] support for pair programming and multiple authors
Hello, I would like to ask about support for committing code written in pair programming session. As far as I know at this moment gitorious doesn't have any support for this particular case. Myself I would like to practice approach of pari programming all code meant for use in production. Does anyone feels interested in pursuing this issue and maybe help me with adding this functionality to gitorious? We could pair on it remotely sharing screen session for example =) some references: http://www.brynary.com/2008/9/1/setting-the-git-commit-author-to-pair-programmers-names http://github.com/ryanbriones/git-pair With wishes of joyful coding, elf Pavlik -- To post to this group, send email to gitorious@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to gitorious+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com
