Hi,
opensc-project.org needs a new home: someone with a (real or virtual)
server
and the interest in
setting it up from scratch and keeping it running and maintaining that
server, installation and service
for the project. someone who is able to win the trust of the community as
new server administrator.
The current installation is terribly old. It is based on ubuntu hardy
and I
think that is nearing the end of its supported livetime or even is
unsupported now, thus it is urgently required to rebuild the server. Over
the
years we had several approaches and various people offered to take over
running the server, but so far none of those worked out in the end, noone
followed up after the initial discussion.
To give this new efford more motivation here is some presure: running a
server without maintenance and security updates is not a good idea. Thus
I
will shut down the current installation at the last end of this year.
Any motivated linux administrator can setup a simple server with apache
and
a few copies of trac, plus postfix and a few mailing lists in a few
hours or
a day, with maybe a bit more time for fine tuning and migration of the
content. This shouldn't be a big deal, thus there should be enough time
to
find someone interested in doing so and migrating opensc and related
projects of the outdated installation.
I've had a barebones machine sitting in idle (except for being a ssh
gateway for irc...) for almost a year, but for (past) reasons not
worth mentioning, I've failed to focus sufficiently on non-real-life
matters like OpenSC for a while. This might be a good chance to a)
scope the services required for opensc-project.org and b) implement it
on a clean machine with some systematic sysadmin approach.
But for sustainable results, the scope should be seriously minimal and
limited...
I have a will to participate but not much of sysadmin experience.
So, in the absence of other solution, with some assistance I could do this
work.
Currently I have an access to platform where are only running jenkins
master behind apache.
This platform is largely under-used and can host additional services.

Kind regards,
Viktor.
