That's fine, I hadn't considered that choice but I agree that it is a good one. Giovanni Corriga runs that list and I should think he would welcome this sort of traffic.

Gmane feed not working?
by Andreas Raab 22 Feb '10

22 Feb '10

Hi Folks - I just realized that it looks as if the Gmane news feed for squeak-dev isn't working properly. If you look at the feed at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.general doesn't seem to have anything past Feb 20th. Infortunately I receive *all* my Squeak-dev mails via Gmane which means that I've been missing quite some stuff. Any ideas what might have caused that and perhaps how to fix it? Or who to contact for this issue? Cheers, - Andreas

Etoys update server
by Bert Freudenberg 21 Feb '10

21 Feb '10

Hi folks, could the Squeakland developers use a squeak.org server for their update stream? This used to be hosted on a Viewpoints server. But since VPRI is not directly supporting Etoys/Squeakland anymore, we need an alternative. Hosting on a squeak.org server to me seems to be a good idea in the long run. Technically this is a simple WebDAV server. World-readable, writable by a handful of committers - initially perhaps Milan Zimmerman, Karl Ramberg, Hilaire Fernandes, Korakurider, Yoshiki, me. We may also need a subversion repo for images, installers etc. But right now we're only blocking on the missing update stream. How does that sound? If it sounds good, who could make it happen? - Bert -

Box-Admins Team Report for January, 2010 (New Team Leader Needed)
by Ken Causey 04 Feb '10

04 Feb '10

The box-admins team is responsible for seeing that the community shared server is maintained and setting up any new features to be hosted on that server. For January, 2010: First of all I want to remind everyone that I recently announced http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2010-January/143901.… my plans to retire as the team leader for the box-admins team. Currently I am looking for a replacement and would be happy to discuss details of the job with anyone interested. Overall things ran smoothly in January but we did have a hiccup or two related to what seemed to be unintentional HTTP denial of service by web crawlers. When noticed we blocked IP traffic from these hosts temporarily which cleared up the issue and after removing the blocks they seemed to be better behaved. Andreas Raab took the time to see how easy it would be to get SqueakSource running in a recent Trunk release of Squeak and it turned out easier than expected and so http://source.squeak.org/ is now running on an image derived from Squeak 3.11-8824. Please go to http://www.squeak.org/Foundation/SupportSqueak/ and purchase a Squeak badge. Note that a donation here may be used for other Squeak community 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://source.squeak.org/ http://map.squeak.org/ https://svn.squeak.org/ http://update.squeakfoundation.org/ http://wiki.squeak.org/ http://bugs.squeak.org/ and DNS services for squeak.org and squeakfoundation.org domain names.
