Just a quick note to let you know that Casey Ransberger has taken over moderating and administering the Squeak-dev mailing list. Steve Elkins has done this job for some time now but was ready to hand it on to someone else and luckily Casey was happy to step up. Ken

Fine, just let me know whenever you are ready. If you would like to chat on IRC or whatever, let me know.

I haven't shared my key with many. I'm going to roll a new pair for this. Unfortunately, I'm in a call with my ISP trying to suss out why I can't connect.

1. Regarding having my blessing for Casey becoming the list manager for the Squeak-dev mailing list: you have it. 2. Regarding receiving the list administrator rights and passwords: If the password Steve is using came from Cees I expect that means it has been the same for a very long time now and it's probably a very good time to change it. So I think to simplify matters (at least simplify them for Steve) I will take the responsibility for changing the list settings including setting a new password and getting it to Casey. Casey: Do you have a public pgp/gpg key? I searched the MIT key server for your current email address and couldn't find one. Or is http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0xED25607DBDAF1986 you? So as far as passing the baton from Steve to Casey, regarding the technical details, I will take care of it. Do you mind Steve if we do this sooner than 3 weeks from now if Casey is ready? 3. Regarding the SOB: I agree that the squeak-dev mailing list administrator is within the purview of the box-admins team. That said, I think it's worth at least notifying the SOB that a change has occurred. Again, I will take care of that.

Passing to who? If you mean me, please ask for volunteers on squeak-dev. I myself am only the box-admins team leader en lieu of a replacement (a process that has been going on for more than a year now).

Re: [HELP NEEDED] Need ftp write access for Edgar (was: [squeak-dev] 11 June Building report (3))

D'oh. I can't help. updates@box2:/var/www/files/trunk$ touch TEST_IGNORE_CBR touch: cannot touch `TEST_IGNORE_CBR': Permission denied I don't recall having to use sudo in the past and am disinclined to type it on that box, even if I am a sudoer, until I talk to Randal. CC box-admins. It looks like the group on the trunk directory has changed to me... it used to be updates, which is what my access is, but now it's website. I *might* be looking at the wrong directory, but I haven't had that problem before... (I'm looking at /var/www/files/trunk) Someone from the web team, I would guess, will have access. CC web team.
