Hello out there,
Was a long time since my last own blogentry, but well, d00p wrote the important stuff and did an incredible work on (mostly) the installer, thank you d00p!
Now it's my turn again, we had an really internal meeting (well, I said "trac sucks" and flo agreed: "thought that a while ago...") so the following changes will be done in the next time:
- Our website will become semi-static again (internal dynamic-website mirrored into static files). This allows us to distribute the website over different servers very easily.
- Our new bugtracker will be a BugZilla - installation, all bugs in trac will be moved there.
- The wiki will be a DokuWiki, the current wiki will of course be converted.
- The trac - browser will be replaced by WebSVN
The main reason behin this is quite simple: trac always wants to use the complete 5 GB RAM of our server and everything else stops working. This is really really annoying. Either the OOM-killer starts to kill or I had to kill it (3 kills in a sentence (actually, with that 4) :D).
What else changed / will happen:
I started to work in Zweibrücken, the company I work for now is one of the global-players in the domain-buisness:
Key-Systems GmbH. My part is software-engineering for
DomainDiscount24. They now provide the power, traffic and rackspace for our main server, so thx to them (and just register your domains following the link I just gave you, they are in good hands there :) (The affiliate-link is just for counting the users coming from SysCP.org, I swear!))
Our website is now reachable via the following domains: syscp.org syscp.de syscp.com syscp.net syscp.info syscp.biz syscp.ch syscp.it syscp.asia
If anyone wants to sponsor a new "syscp.tld" domain, just speak with flo or me, we will be happy :)
Ah, and I don't want to forget atari, who did really much over the last weeks (according to our timeline). Thank you!
Sorry if there were more people working, I just wasn't around and I just recognized these two via the timeline, just tell me and you'll recieve your "thank you", I promise!
So long,
EleRas
