[Dune-devel] DOS attacks and the dev meeting

[Oliver Sander]

Dear Dune developers,

the DOS attacks on our GitLab server seem to persist; at least for me 
the server remains largely unusable. Given the origin of these attacks 
we cannot assume that the problem will fix itself automagically at some 
point. We will have to do something.

And this "something" will need to appear soon. A dev meeting without 
GitLab will be no fun, but even if we fudge access for the registered 
developers that still means that the Dune source code effectively 
disappears for all others. Not good if we want to keep our market share.

Can I therefore please encourage those with the necessary technical 
skills to form an action group and implement an actual solution to the 
problem (like maybe an Anubis gate)? I don't see any way around doing 
something like that, and then we may as well do it now. Officially 
forming an admin team can then be discussed at the meeting.

Thank you,
Oliver
