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

If you remember in my last report I said something about September being
a 'tumultuous month'.  Well little did I know.

The server continued to be problematic as we petitioned Hetzner to
investigate.  Finally they took a look and the immediate result was
catastrophic and the server was down for about 4 days.  I've recounted
the details elsewhere

http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2008-October/132082.html

and won't go into it again here.

Well Hetzner did finally come to our rescue (along with the invaluable
assistance of Marcus Denker, Cees de Groot, and Göran Krampe) and I can
now report that the server has been up and running nicely since October
23rd.  Don't uncross your fingers yet, but perhaps we can all breathe
easier.

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

and purchasing a Squeak badge. Note that a donation here may be used for
other Squeak Foundation services including but not limited to
