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 November 2006:

Work on a Pier image for www.squeakfoundation.org continued with Brad Fuller.

I worked with Klaus Witzel in an attempt to track Google Ad hits on the websites.

Late in the month there was a problem on the server because the remote backup server was shut down but a daily process that attempts to backup to the server was not removed. These stacked up over weeks and ran up the usage considerably to the point that the server was highly unresponsive. Once I figured out the problem I cleaned it up and disabled the daily backup attempts. Other than a lack of overall backup, which will in time be addressed, things are back to normal now.

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
