[Libre-graphics-meeting-org] open ports at the venue - info please

[lara]

Dear all,

I'm trying to get the IT to sort this out:
Open ports:

    HTTP, HTTPS
    POP3(S), IMAP(S)
    VPN, SSH
    git, svn, mercurial, bzr
    ftp
    irc, xmpp


as documented here:
http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/lgm/public-documentation/venue-requirements/

IT are requesting info on reason for access to all the above - so far I
told them this is needed to be able to do work on software - but they
are not satisfied with this and need a more detailed explanation.

I have sent an email to ginger to ask how did she do it last year, but
would really appreciate if you sent me info on this so I can pass it to
the IT and try to get as much as possible from them + to come up with
workarounds if they refuse to open some of the ports above.

Best,
Lara
