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.h...
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.
