Good. I'm also cc'ing the box admins - anyone of us can help in the transfer. Shall we first announce it on squeak-dev? It probably means that we want to lock the swiki for a couple of hours while we are transferring it, might be polite to tell the community that beforehand. [box-admins: this is about moving the Squeak Swiki at Gatech over to box2]. Regards, Cees On 11/5/05, Mark Guzdial <guzdial(a)cc.gatech.edu> wrote: > I think that makes a lot of sense, Cees.

Re: [ANN] Squeak 3.8.1
by Ken Causey 31 Aug '06

Thanks Michael. Usually a 'release' is accompanied by the publishing of a new image in the appropriate place (in this case http://ftp.squeak.org/3.8/ I should think). Do you plan to do that? If so then you will either need to pass it on to the website team for placement on the FTP site (since they own the contents of the FTP site except for certain directories), or if you desire I can add your ssh key back to the website team account and you can access that account directly and add it yourself. This makes me think of a new plan for accounts on the server related to updating the FTP site and related. I wonder if I shouldn't simply setup a new account for each release team (for example release3.8, release3.9, release3.10, etc.). Then the relevant subdirectories (like 3.8/, 3.9alpha/, 3.9beta/, etc.) would be owned by the respective release team account and so they would not have to either bother the website team for uploading or have direct access to the website team's account for the purpose. Also the ownership of the updates/ directory could pass to the current release team. Or perhaps more appropriately, since more than one release team may need access to add bugfixes to the update stream, there could be a group that has write access to the update stream and all of the appropriate release team accounts could be members of said group. Thoughts?

List Silence
by Ken Causey 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

I did some maintenance on the community server yesterday and I guess I must have unintentionally left the mail server software in an only partially running state which resulted in the lists not working. I apologize for that and ask you to think of it as merely a short vacation. Prepare for a deluge of list traffic. Ken

Re: updates

I need some more information to get this right. Michael if you have time today to meet me on #squeak (irc.freenode.net) send me some email to tell me when to meet you. For that matter it doesn't have to be today. If it's just too awkward for you to access IRC let me know and we'll try to sort this out in an email exchange. Cees: Does that mean lw-1.theinternetone.net (the server for which update.squeakfoundation.org is an alias) is no more? Everyone else: Since it looks like I'm going to be making some changes anyway, maybe it's a good time to seperate the responsibility for the update files on the server from the website team's account. Who other than Michael, Stef, and Marcus would need immediate access to the new account if I were to do that?

Cees, This is happening again. Has the destination box filled up again?

Box-Admins Team Report for July, 2006
by Ken Causey 14 Aug '06

14 Aug '06

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. All is quiet on this front. Nothing to report for July 2006. I want to thank the community for the monetary support needed to fund these boxes 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): http://www.squeak.org/ SqueakMap - http://map.squeak.org/ http://ftp.squeak.org/ http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/ http://discuss.squeakfoundation.org/ http://source.squeakfoundation.org/ http://map.squeak.org/ https://svn.squeak.org/ (new subversion repository, not yet populated) and DNS services for squeak.org and squeakfoundation.org domain names.
