[squeak-dev] Box-Admins Team Report for July, 2008

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, 2008:

July was mostly another lazy summer month on the box-admins team report.
On the 19th or 20th the community server was inaccessible and Marcus
Denker requested that the hosting company reboot it and it was back up
on the 21st.

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://www.squeak.org/Foundation/SupportSqueak/

and purchasing a Squeak badge. 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.

Good information to post might be how much the bills are, how much you are getting, and how "for only $1.00 month you too can...!"

Although, it would be great to be able to afford "open-mouthed stares!"

Anyway, a nice control chart showing the [undoubtedly] rising costs would certainly persuade some more folks? I honestly never even thought about how you did this before; I think I thought it was all volunteer/donated services...

Take care,

Rob

Actually, I would very much like to know this myself and have requested
the information multiple times. But like many plans and projects this
is waiting in limbo for finalization of the inclusion of Squeak into
SFLC as a legal entity.

Interesting!

SFLC? Squeak Foundation Something or Other?

And yet, someone, somewhere is actually paying the bills or providing the service!

Well, let me know if you need moral support...
