The box-admins team is reponsible for seeing that the community shared server is maintained and setting up any new features to be hosted on that server.
For July 2007:
Adrian Lienhard kindly upgraded the version of SqueakSource and its dependencies on source.squeakfoundation.org.
I want to thank the community for the monetary support needed to fund the box and remind them that the bills continue to appear and that you can currently contribute to the hosting bills by going to
http://discuss.squeakfoundation.org/
and clicking on the 'donate' button at the top right. Note that a donation here may be used for other Squeak Foundation services including but not limited to development, development infrastructure, and promotion of Squeak.
The services being hosted have continued to grow and include (but are not limited to):
SqueakMap - http://map.squeak.org/
http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/
http://discuss.squeakfoundation.org/
http://source.squeakfoundation.org/
http://update.squeakfoundation.org/
and DNS services for squeak.org and squeakfoundation.org domain names.

We should probably change the paypal link to go via the main foundation support link (http://www.squeak.org/Foundation/ SupportSqueak/) so that contributors will get their supporter badges.

Tim,
Thank you, I'm glad you bring this up. I thought I had asked the board about this some time ago (although I can't seem to find a record of that at the moment). Frankly, I'm still confused about the funding situation regarding paying the hosting fees for the community server. My understanding was that Cees transferred control over the hosting account to ESUG/Marcus and that the donation link I've continued to include in my reports links to their paypal account. Am I mistaken?

The money from the paypal buttons currently ends up in our account cared for by ESUG, yes. Similarly for the buttons on the new donations page.

Noury is keeping track of all the money for ESUG and SqueakF. As soon as we can we will give that money to the foundation and noury will be happy since this is extra work for him :)
