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 January, 2009:
Nothing significant to report: the server continues to run smoothly and has now been up for 107 days. I've done some little things here and there but frankly it's a little hard to say sometimes what comes under the umbrella of the box-admins team and what doesn't. A list of things in January that may or may not count: assistance with directory permissions on FTP site; developing a new Mantis export mechanism for use with Installer and by the Release Team; planning/discussing future server(s)/hosting; moderating the Announcements mailing list; completion of the closure of Mantis issues harvested for 3.10; slight reconfiguraton of Mantis for the Release Team.
I want to thank the community for the monetary support needed to fund the box and remind you that the bills continue to appear and that you can currently contribute to the hosting bills by going to
http://www.squeak.org/Foundation/SupportSqueak/
and purchasing a Squeak badge. 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.
