Deconstructing Travis
Unless you have been living under a rock for the past year you might know of Travis CI, the continuous integration service for the open source community. Travis CI has run 757,465 tests for 10,844 open-source projects to date, including Basho's Riak, and Mochiweb.

Talk objectives: Introducing Travis-CI service and architecture to open-source developers
