[CREATE] Issue with Pledgie and Paypal - to be solved on Monday March 21

2011-03-19 Thread Louis Desjardins
Hi all,

We are currently having an issue with Pledgie and Paypal that prevents the
donation transactions to be completed.

The issue is known and documented however it is not possible to solve it
before Monday.

I will post again when the issue is solved and when we'll be able to receive
money again.

Hi, my account is rejon

Would love to have access and help relieve pressure where possible.

I agree, yes, we need more of a plan and try to stick to it.

All thins is pretty interesting.

One thing I would like to see quick is a link to LGM on all the major LGM
projects' websites. This should be done now ! Let's speak out loud !

One of the things I think we should address formally is the idea of paid 
advertising on the LGM site. I'm not talking about just any old ads 
regarding p3nis enlargement or the benefits of acai berries, but some 
graphics-related ads (example: Adobe). Or even various players in the 
computing realm, open source or not (Ubuntu, Dell, HP, IBM, RedHat, Google).


We live currently (subject to change) in a time where it seems to be 
accepted in some form, at various sites where free information is 
provided, that some ads will be seen on the sidebars that pay the way 
for this free information.


Have we extended a special invitation for those involved in Google 
Summer of Code to come see what LGM is all about, so we can generate 
some esteem on their part for our various projects? It doesn't matter if 
this year's GSoC is already decided by the time LGM2011 happens.


Have we rolled out the red carpet (so to speak) for HP, with its heavy 
investment and involvement in graphics printing, to be an honored guest 
at LGM? (With the tacit backup of contacting Canon or Epson or Brother 
or Lexmark -- ok, we'll be happy with money, but we want you to come too)


Have we talked to any of these people about linking to LGM from their 
sites? (we're really not threatening to them in any way -- we're pretty 
benign compared to their real competitors)


Let's make LGM2011 viral.

 If anything, people should have sorted their required access months
ago,
 not now. Its really ridiculous to watch people whine at this point that
 things are taking too long or they don't have access. Ale could have
 sorted this for those people ages ago.

 Maybe they could get it sorted earlier in time for next year?

the source control architecture would not back up the database itself, only 
the code to generate it and access it.  however you don't need SSH to access a 
wiki/database from the html front end?

for forms and templates it would work.  i have set up recently a mercurial 
over https configuration.  it boils down to adding users in the .htaccess 
file, no SSH access required (which I understand is what you are wary about?).

Why do you state that SVN is not OK to publish a website?  Hugin moved to 
Mercurial only a year ago.  Prior to that it was in SVN.  The website too.  
And it worked well.

I don't know the site's architecture.  I do know that before giving up a tool 
I would want to have a comprehensive look at what works and what not, and make 
sure that the change of tool is not just for the sake of changing tool.

My understanding from this discussion is that there is a need for faster 
collaboration across time zones.  I am not in the position to judge if a 
change of tool will fix this.  I don't know enough.  Just trying to help with 
a few ideas/pointers.  If you want me to help, I can make some time available 
in April and I will first need to understand what's on the ground before 
starting to fiddle.
