Gittorrent

What it does

VP Engineering at FlightCar; previously at One Laptop Per Child; maintainer of the Linux kernel's SD card subsystem. (This post is an aspirational transcript of the talk I gave to the Data Terra Nemo conference in May 2015. If you’d like to watch the less eloquent version of the same talk that I actually gave, the video should be available soon!) I’ve been working on building a decentralized GitHub, and I’d like to talk about what this means and why it matters — and more importantly, show you how it can be done and real GitTorrent code I’ve implemented so far. First, the practical reasons: GitHub might become untrustworthy, get hacked — or get DDOS’d by…from blog.printf.net
