Board members present: Colin Putney, Craig Latta, Chris Muller, Levente Uzonyi, Chris Cunnington, and, special guest Ken Causey - The topic of the meeting was moving to a new server - There are several offers for free hosting available to Squeak - Squeak is accepting the offer from Softlayer [1]. It is also looking at an offer related to the Software Freedom Conservancy at Gandi. [2] - The Board realized that the moving process is not an all-or-nothing proposition. Pieces can be moved over time. Perhaps even on different servers. So, the Softlayer offer will now be accepted and closed. - The difference between a VPS and a dedicated box was debated with Ken having strong feelings in favor of a dedicated box, as you knew better what your resources were - Ken is willing to help make the transition to a new server given a window of ninety days, so he can contribute, while not interfering with his other commitments - One of the early pieces to be moved will be the www.squeak.org image, which will be a Seaside image. The old design of www.squeak.org will be retired in favor of a very small website emphasizing the download of Squeak. The site will then grow into a fuller and more complete resource over time - A major consideration in the move is the mailing lists run by the GNU Mailman [3] application. Other parts of the move are the images, FTP archive, and Mantis SQL database - Details of the moving process will be recorded to provide documentation to assist with upkeep and any future move [3] http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/index.html |
If the new server runs FreeBSD I'm willing to help out with the admin stuff.

[2] [snip] I just got spam that purports to be from Softlayer with the subject: "FREE RAM, HDD, and Bandwidth for a limited time only." If others get it too, I would suggest that we not support a company that uses spam as a marketing technique.

Thanks for letting us know -- I agree. The Softlayer avenue is
something that Chris Cunnington and Colin are researching. While everyone seems open to the idea so far we haven't actually voted yet for putting "Squeak c/o SFC" on the Softlayer agreement. As Chris C. mentioned there are at least a couple of options and we want to understand the benefits as well as all the "costs" of each option.
