Box-Admins Team Report for November, 2006

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 November 2006:

Work on a Pier image for www.squeakfoundation.org continued with Brad
Fuller.

I worked with Klaus Witzel in an attempt to track Google Ad hits on the
websites.

Late in the month there was a problem on the server because the remote
backup server was shut down but a daily process that attempts to backup
to the server was not removed.  These stacked up over weeks and ran up
the usage considerably to the point that the server was highly
unresponsive.  Once I figured out the problem I cleaned it up and
disabled the daily backup attempts.  Other than a lack of overall
backup, which will in time be addressed, things are back to normal now.

I want to thank the community for the monetary support needed to fund
these boxes 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):
