[SLUG] Club portal software
I've been tasked to create/maintain the website of a motorcycle club of which I am a member of. In short I would like some basic functionality in it like news-tracking, polls, calendar and maybe a simple forum. I know there are heaps of CMS software available but I'd like to try one a few that you people have had experience with. Since I'm doing this as charity work I would prefer ease of use/installation over functionality and speed. I don't to spend half the day working out dependencies and installing add-ons. Any suggestions? -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
[SLUG] SLUG website down?
Hi all, I was doing some googling and followed a link to the list archive only to find the SLUG website completely AWOL. Are people aware of this? Is there anything I can do to help?

Re: [SLUG] SLUG website down?
Hi, yeah we lost a disk in array on the server that hosts the VM. It kinda failed and un-failed and then finally died. Its OK now, just not redundant until we replace the disk tomorrow so it might go down again :) Sorry for any inconvience... thanks dave Erik de Castro Lopo wrote: Hi all, I was doing some googling and followed a link to the list archive only to find the SLUG website completely AWOL.

Re: [SLUG] Club portal software
I'm doing similar things with Drupal... seems ok to me I hadn't used similar CMS before and it took me a while to get my head around the basics, but then it was fine. If you do use it, apt-get for Ubuntu is way behind.. I would download from the drupal site. I don't know about other distros.

Re: [SLUG] Club portal software
I hereby second drupal, including the reccomendation to install from source. Does news tracking, polls, calendar, and simple forums. The project as a whole is heavily slanted toward community-building sites, and groups like civicspace have done even more work to push it in that direction.

SLUG uses Drupal with a smattering of modules for event management and site navigation. It all works quite well.

[SLUG] ubuntu server
Hi The only way that I've been able to install ubuntu on my pentium-m laptop is this bizare sequence: 1) Install server on laptop After install boot fails with a register dump 2) install server on a desktop machine 3) apt-get the generic image (not the server!) 4) boot the lappie on knoppix. copy the generic kernel, initrd, modules from desktop 5) boot the lappie, install ubuntu-desktop OK nearly all good apt-get the latest generic kernel fails (mkinitramfs tools dependencies) The real problem is that despite wearing all desktop clothes the lappie 'knows' it's a server. How, where do I change the personality from server to desktop? BTW the problem is common to 6.06, 6.10 and feisty-beta In every case live CD boots, displays a screen about gnome-error (message, network ?) and there is a pretty desktop, mouse-that-moves and is unresponsive to anything else eg install (icon highlights, click does pretty much nothing. This lappy installs SuSE 10.2 without any fuss, and as a server seems to run perfectly (with the hand-crafted generic kernel, the server kernel gives a register dump) James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
