Would love to hear more about this system, sounds really cool!
Behind the scenes it was a decentralized continuous delivery system. Very cool stuff, highly automated. Reduced a lot of work and sped up development cycles from months to minutes. Served quite a large software development organization (1000+). I think we had 1000 servers in 5 datacenters around the globe.
Nowdays I'm working on an open source version of that system, it's still missing few critical features but hopefully I'll get the first release out next spring.
btw, I'm looking for projects/contacts that would be interested in trying out how the system would fit their needs.
Do you have any sort of github/project page?
Cool, sysadmin at a research university sounds like a nice position to be at.
Yes, it's already on github. Unfortunately, since it's missing those critical features it's not easy to see how the whole system is going to work. If you to talk just drop me an email at gmail. mikko.apo is the account.
