[Dune-devel] DOS attacks and the dev meeting

[Robert Klöfkorn]

Hi Oliver,

I agree, we need to do something.

One option might be to move the public part of our code, i.e. core and
extension and other modules to github (or the like). Then the source
code is publicly available and we can do with our gitlab server as we
please.

Regards,

Robert
