Team discussions[edit]

  • GitLab private repos + GitLab volunteer admins
  • TODO: I'm writing a draft policy and passing it off to security + legal (as of yesterday)
    • Requirements for private repos
      • No "private" data, only "restricted data" — no passwords, no PII
      • All members must have 2fa enabled
      • Must acknowledge above via phab form
    • Process for Volunteer admins
      • Same requirements for server access—2fa, signed NDA, acknowledge server best practice doc, compelling reason to request, existing admin sponser(?)
      • Similar to gerrit privelege request: open two weeks to allow for comment
      • If you haven't used privilege for a period of time, you will be auto-removed
      • We will need fewer GitLab admins than Gerrit admins due to the way things are
