Travis is an open source CI system for running open source projects on. It uses a distributed setup to run the tests of projects in a sandboxed environment. The VMs also provide multiple lang versions so you can test your library against several ruby/python/perl/node/erlang/php versions without even having to think about it.

In short, Travis makes CI testing easy and fun for OS projects.

Seeing how everything is opensourced, how easy is this to get up and running on an intranet? Is that at all a goal of the project?

It is one of the eventually goals, but Travis has a lot of moving parts due to its distributed nature. We do plan to make in-house installs easier in the future.

It is pretty heavily integrated with Github. And at least last time I checked it was challenging to get it to use private Github projects. I believe the feature is on their roadmap, though.

It has certainly piqued my interest. Oh, and I just did a quick look around too and realized that yes, many people know about this software. :)
