== Contribute to a project

1. find project in Project Portal
2. clone the Git repository
3. make a change and push to Gerrit for review

== Contribute to a project

Everyone at SAP can contribute to any SAP project &#x278a;!

* Committer/Contributor model

~&#x278a; any project hosted in Gerrit~

== Project Creation

* Self-Service for creating new projects via SAP Project Portal
+

== Skalli

* Open Source project management tool

* SAP Project Portal = Skalli + SAP specific extensions

== Default Access Rights

* The project creator becomes project owner

== Default Access Rights

* The project creator becomes project owner
* The project owner group is self-owned

== Default Access Rights

* The project creator becomes project owner
* The project owner group is self-owned
* By default Project Owners can approve, verify, submit and push tags

== Default Access Rights

* The project creator becomes project owner
* The project owner group is self-owned
* By default Project Owners can approve, verify, submit and push tags
* Everyone can push for review and forge authors

== Default Access Rights

.Project access rights

.Inherited default access rights

== Default Access Rights

* Teams can start working without touching the access rights.

== Default Access Rights

* Teams can start working without touching the access rights.
* Teams can adapt the access rights to their needs
** enables team specific workflows (e.g. bypass code review)

== Default Access Rights

* Teams can start working without touching the access rights.
* Teams can adapt the access rights to their needs
** enables team specific workflows (e.g. bypass code review)
* Teams can configure custom Prolog rules, e.g.:
** 2 teams collaborate on 1 project, core team has to approve changes
   in core files
** enforce 4-eyes-principle by prohibiting merging own changes

== Default Access Rights

* Best practices about which access rights should be assigned to which
  roles are documented.

image:../../img/create-group-capability.png[height=80]

* `refs/meta/config` is readable for all
+
image:../../img/refs-meta-config-access-right.png[height=100]

* By default new groups are visible to all users:
+
.gerrit.config
----
  [groups]
    newGroupsVisibleToAll = true
----

== Decentralized Project Administration

* maximal freedom for teams to customize their workflows
* low central administration effort
+
2 admins spend a few hours per week on Gerrit administration

== SAP Product Standards

Requirements for development infrastructures

* security
* traceability
* etc.

== SAP Product Standards

For each code change it must be possible to find the person that was
doing the change.

* `Forge Committer` is BLOCKED on `All-Projects`
+
image:../../img/block-forge-committer.png[height=150]

== SAP Product Standards

Traceability

* ref logs never expire
+
GC script automatically sets:
+
----
  gc.reflogexpire = never
  gc.reflogexpireunreachable = never
----

* `reviewnotes` plugin is used
+
image:../../img/block-push-on-review-notes.png[height=100]

== SAP Product Standards

Every release build must be reproducable.

* Every release build is tagged
* Release tags must never be deleted
+
`Force Push` for release tags is BLOCKED on `All-Projects`
+
image:../../img/block-force-push.png[height=100]

== SAP Product Standards

Special processes are enforced for release branches:

* code review mandatory
* release notes for customers
* custom review label in Gerrit with automated voting
* etc.

== Self-Service for Service User Creation

* many teams use Jenkins with Gerrit Trigger Plugin for verification
  of open changes
* for each Jenkins instance a new service user needs to be created
* service users must not be able to push commits
+
.serviceuser Plugin (Gerrit 2.9)
image:../../img/service-user-plugin.png[]

== Configuration of serviceuser Plugin

image:../../img/service-user-plugin-administration.png[]

== Observed misuses of Gerrit

* storage of Linux ISO images
* backup of database dumps
* (unintentional) upload of heap dumps
* usage as general purpose backup for arbitary files

== Protect against misuse of Gerrit

* Files larger than 20 MB cannot be pushed
+
----
  [receive]
    maxObjectSizeLimit = 20 m
----

* Quota plugin
** limit max repository size

== Administration Pain Points

* project deletion
+
support to archive repositories is missing

* project renaming

* accidental removal of owner rights for project / group

* configuration of periodical fetches for forked open source projects

== Summary - Project Administration & Self-Services

* decentralized project administration
** maximal freedom for teams to customize their workflows
** low central administration effort

* enforcement of central requirements
** use BLOCK rules on access rights

* Self-Services
** project creation via SAP Project Portal (Skalli)
** serviceuser plugin
