As I stated in the original call (and later confirmed [2]) +Rails was a possibility (as well as Django), forgot to mention +Symphony (was pointed out later); goal was to: stay open to new +contributions and try, if it came, with some technology that is easy +enough to host and still a bit new in this community. + +As misc noticed me, yes, I didn't ask sysadm first about this (hosting +st else than PHP/Perl stuff); I have to admit that I expected the +point to be raised on the webteam ml at the time (the whole +conversation started in a meeting point pre-summary and took over 6 +days before I said go). + +So, yes, that means we would be to host a Rails app; it's not for the +sake of trying any type of buzz'd-about technology out there, it could +have been Django as well or Symphony. I didn't suggest erlang, +node.js, go or tcl frameworks. :-p + +As a sidenote, kosmas set his own repository over gitorious.org but +has been notified that the master branch should move to mageia.org +infra at least when stable and in anyway, as soon as a repository is +set up for it. Same for issues (as soon as Bugzilla is up, +bugs/requests will move there, if there were any already before). + +So, this mail was about clarifying the point; I'll try better next +time. As for hosting the thing, I asked kosmas about the requirements; +given the app needs, it will be a basic Rails/MySQL setup I guess, but +better wait for his take and his help. + +What's your take on this? + - hosting Rails apps; how/where to host them (remember we have Gandi vhosts); + - how we can deal with open contributions, specifying base +requirements for the tools we expect to receive (being square, but +flexible enough to accept more contributions); and what these +requirements would be; + - how it's acceptable that people use infrastructure outside of +mageia.org to bootstrap their contributions (like, still pointing that +a master branch should be reasonably migrated to mageia.org infra, or +other guideline); + - how we can better advertise our infrastructure and services (how +they work, how they can be used) *wink* and the sysadm team needs +(more contributions/contributors) + +Cheers, + +-- +Romain + +[1] <A HREF="https://mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-webteam/2010-December/000064.html">https://mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-webteam/2010-December/000064.html</A> +[2] <A HREF="https://mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-webteam/2010-December/000070.html">https://mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-webteam/2010-December/000070.html</A> +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="001651.html">[Mageia-sysadm] [212] - merge trunk ( for good this time ) +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="001518.html">[Mageia-sysadm] maint db, rails and hosting +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#1516">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#1516">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#1516">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#1516">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-sysadm">More information about the Mageia-sysadm +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
