As the saying goes

   "There is NO cloud - only somebody else's computer."


My personal opinion:
  Why must I store my data and my applications on somebody else's
  computer - often regulated by different laws to where I live.
  No thanks! I'll keep control of my own data and applications.

Others surely have their own thoughts on that. Do with your data and
apps as you will - so will I.


Just a thought.

Like I said, I already have a public facing server in place. Adding
public read-only git repos to the mix is two simple steps:

1. Run 'git daemon' to give users read-only access via the git://
protocol, which by the way is the simplest option and way faster that
via the http:// protocol. It's a single command line to make multiple
repos available.

2. Open port 9418 on your firewall.

Job done.

Like I said, there is NO need for other services, tools, user access and
all that fuss.

  Graeme
