Hi All,
I had a conversation with Andrew Rist this morning. Here is what
I have found out about what will happen in one week.
(1) Forums and Mediawiki will be cloned and moved to Apache
Infrastructure on top of the work
YAY! Since the current incarnation is old-ish and work HAS continued on
the wiki.
that TerryE and the Apache
Infra team accomplished. Andrew, Gavin and TJ will be doing the
heavy lifting starting with some practice conversions.
OK...I know you say you don't have any more time to deal with this now
but maybe someone else can chime in. I don't remember what we're doign
about current user account? Do people need to re-up?
Does Apache Infra plan to change dns resolution of
user.services.oo.o and wiki.services.oo.o to point to the
ooo-forum.a.o and ooo-wiki.a.o domain names as of this
transition?
Well this would certainly be nice if we could...
(2) downloads.services.oo.o goes away this needs attention. This
is the major unknown.
Not my perview for sure...I'm copying Marcus on this one since he could
probably help out (maybe).
We do have a version of this page in the website migration. It is
rather clean. I think the page handles a missing mirror brain,
but I don't know if it handles it well. The version that was
cleaned up is in the AOOo project svn in
ooo/ooo-site/trunk/content/download/.
(3) extensions.services.oo.o and templates.services.oo.o are
hosted at OSUOSL and will be retained. They still need work on
Drupal upgrades, the OSUOSL admins have turned their noisy Nagios
checks off and we have to report outages to supp...@osuosl.org
ourselves. They are usually responsive by the business day AM in
US Pacific Time Zone.
(4) All other *.services.oo.o are going away. If any of these are
important to you please recall that Andrew Rist has mentioned
that he does have a backup of everything. Please contact him
about other services, if you would like to resurrect them.
(5) Some consideration will need to be made about changes needed
to the Kenai based www.openoffice.org due to the services
change.
I can help with link changes on the main www site for areas I have
access to. What I think would be REALLY helpful right now -- today -- is
a posting on the main wiki and forums pages telling folks that there may
be outages starting next Friday am (GMT?) for up to a few days during
the transition. I can't do this but whoever can -- PLEASE take care of
this today! We don't want the press to go into yet another frenzy.
What is an example of a Kenai consideration? Is the issue broken
links? Or is there some other connection between Kenai and
*.services.oo.o we need to look at?
Only if we want or need to change any pages to indicate that there
are changes. Specifically I am concerned about downloads.oo.o which
uses donwloads.services.oo.o.
Regards, Dave
These topics can't wait, but I don't have any more bandwidth for
AOOo until Sunday night or Monday.
Regards, Dave
