Box-Admins Team Report for July, 2007

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 July 2007:

Adrian Lienhard kindly upgraded the version of SqueakSource and its
dependencies on source.squeakfoundation.org.

I want to thank the community for the monetary support needed to fund
the box and remind them that the bills continue to appear and that
you can currently contribute to the hosting bills by going to

http://discuss.squeakfoundation.org/

and clicking on the 'donate' button at the top right.  Note that a
donation here may be used for other Squeak Foundation services including
but not limited to development, development infrastructure, and
promotion of Squeak.

The services being hosted have continued to grow and include (but are
not limited to):

http://www.squeak.org/

SqueakMap - http://map.squeak.org/

http://ftp.squeak.org/

http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/

http://discuss.squeakfoundation.org/

http://source.squeakfoundation.org/

http://map.squeak.org/

https://svn.squeak.org/

http://update.squeakfoundation.org/

http://wiki.squeak.org/

http://bugs.squeak.org/

and DNS services for squeak.org and squeakfoundation.org domain names.

We should probably change the paypal link to go via the main  
foundation support link (http://www.squeak.org/Foundation/ 
SupportSqueak/) so that contributors will get their supporter  badges.

Useful random insult:- Ignorant, and proud of it.

Tim,

Thank you, I'm glad you bring this up.  I thought I had asked the board
about this some time ago (although I can't seem to find a record of that
at the moment).  Frankly, I'm still confused about the funding situation
regarding paying the hosting fees for the community server.  My
understanding was that Cees transferred control over the hosting account
to ESUG/Marcus and that the donation link I've continued to include in
my reports links to their paypal account.  Am I mistaken?

cared for by ESUG, yes. Similarly for the buttons on the new

Noury is keeping track of all the money for ESUG and SqueakF.
As soon as we can we will give that money to the foundation and noury  
will be happy
since this is extra work for him :)
