Re: Fwd: [AOO-Templates]

2020-02-07 Thread Dave Brondsema
There's a thread titled "templates/extensions.openoffice.org outbound mail" on
the private@ list last year which has a lot of details.  I don't think much has
changed since then.

In summary, SourceForge web hosting in general stopped supporting sending
outbound mail many years ago.  But we set up an exception for AOOT/E sites to
send mail through a Sparkpost service account.  Then last year Sparkpost
disabled the account due to a high bounce rate of the emails (a common practice
in email service providers, so that their reputation and other users are not
jeopardized).

We may want to go back to the private thread, if thats ok since there's various
backend configuration and settings involved.  If so, please CC me as I am not
subscribed to the private list.

The extensions homepage is back to normal again now.  There was something that

SourceForge has Drupal admin login credentials for historical reasons, so
earlier when you sent this mail I checked that extension and it wasn't
"published".  Now it is published and accessible to everyone, presumably the
extension maintainer marcoagpinto did that.

I can also provide the admin credentials to OpenOffice PMC members if they'd
like to be able to check things like this.

The extensions.openoffice.org and templates.openoffice.org sites are hosted on
SourceForge infrastructure but not managed or developed by SourceForge.  Some
years ago there was a Drupal contractor that helped develop those sites, but
that is no longer the case.  Like all of SourceForge's project web hosting, it
is general purpose hosting and the project (Apache OpenOffice) has full access
and control and responsibility for the code and data; SourceForge just provides
the infrastructure.  SourceForge has done minor Drupal upgrades to ensure the
sites stay secure, and can offer a helping hand to diagnose issues, etc from
time to time.  We also have Drupal admin login credentials for historical
reasons, but would be happy to hand that over to OpenOffice members at any time.

And any OpenOffice developer that wants to work on the sites to enhance them
could do so.

Re: English Dictionaries gives an error while attempting to download

Fixed.  I've moved the English dictionary file into the correct location, and

I'll see if I can find the credentials for the aooextensions twitter, not sure

We are using a limited static environment to provide downloads, so end-users of
Apache OpenOffice and other projects can still download just fine.

The Extensions and Templates sites will be a top priority as best we're able to,
when we start to bring things back online.

The current downtime for Extensions and Templates and the rest of SourceForge
was not planned.  The datacenter and other recent changes have been announced on
https://twitter.com/sfnet_ops and going forward if we have planned maintenance I
can notify this list directly.  We're not planning on changing datacenters again
though :D

Correct.  We will be prioritizing getting the extensions and templates sites up
as soon as we can, we know they are important services.

Glad you like it.  You can get a lot more granularity (e.g. daily or weekly) now
too.  It used to force you to weekly or monthly stats when you do broad dates.
And the countries map doesn't use Flash to show those stats any more either :)

Jim - let me know if you'd like me to help with access your SF account.  However
the "jimjag" account isn't an admin of the OpenOffice project anyway.  The
current admins are listed at 
https://sourceforge.net/mirror/openofficeorg/_members/

Instructions at

look right to me still, happy to help if anyone has any questions as they go

https live for extensions/templates.openoffice.org

2017-05-17 Thread Dave Brondsema
We at SourceForge have enabled https hosting for the extensions.openoffice.org
and templates.openoffice.org sites now.  I have set up a redirects (302) to move
traffic over to https.

I also set up extensions.services.openoffice.org to redirect to
extensions.openoffice.org so there is just one canonical domain (same for
templates).

If there's any problems or concerns, I can back out the change easily.  If there
are no issues, I can changes the redirects to 301 permanent in a few days.

Yes I noticed this as well, and believe we can set that up.  It'll probably take
some Drupal work also, to make sure resources are all loaded over HTTPS to avoid
mixed content warnings, before we can force redirection to HTTPS.

Short answer: I don't know.  That is in the Drupal database, and I've looked
around but there are a lot of tables and I don't know their structure & use.  I
was able to get the total count of templates earlier because those are also
stored on disk and easy to count up.

Hi Dave,

I don't see how a different host would help with the lack of general Drupal
skills, or specific knowledge about the Templates and Extensions sites.  But
I'll be glad to answer your questions.  And to continue to hunt down any
technical problems in the other thread (so far they don't really seem to be that
widespread, might just some templates that aren't public).

50-60,000 templates per month

https://sourceforge.net/projects/aoo-templates/files/stats/timeline?dates=2017-01-01+to+2017-03-21

45-90,000 extensions per month

https://sourceforge.net/projects/aoo-extensions/files/stats/timeline?dates=2017-01-01+to+2017-03-21

At those stats links you can explore over time, country, and platform.

SourceForge accounts are used to manage the aoo-templates and aoo-extensions
projects, which contain all the file releases and ssh/sftp access to web hosting
(apache/php/mysql).  The Drupal sites are separate, so have their own security.
I am not familiar with how it was developed, but I would imagine it is standard
Drupal security.

Also I'd like to see a better example of where this is failing.  The example
http://templates.openoffice.org/en/node/8382 is the only one I've seen and could
simply mean that template is gone.  What's an example of seeing a template on
the site and then not being able to see its details & download it?

Yeah, I will see if there's anyone here that can help out.  It might not happen
very quickly though, and in general we support just the hosting and not the
Drupal/PHP code.  But we want OpenOffice to keep on doing great, so I'll see if
we can provide any extra help.

Who has an admin login to the templates site?  I think adding more admins is the
first step, so people can try to check the permissions & metadata on the bad
template entries.

Once someone starts to dig into the code, my general debugging approach would be
to grep the codebase for "Access Denied" and "If you were looking for a
Template, this means it is no longer available." etc to see what triggers that
error message.  I also wonder if the codebase is in git anywhere?

I can't reproduce it like that.  The example link errors out, but all the

This community should have access and should be able to maintain the site.
SourceForge users "aooadmin" and "ipv6guru" are admins of the
https://sourceforge.net/projects/aoo-templates/ project which corresponds to the
templates.openoffice.org site.  Others can be added (ideally by those 2 users,
so we at SourceForge don't have verify identities).  Documentation for web
hosting is at
https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Project%20Web%20Services/ and I
believe should work fine for the templates site, although we have made a few
specific customizations compared to regular SourceForge project web hosting.
Same goes for aoo-extensions.

>From the looks of it, this is probably a Drupal permission issue.  I can check

Who is an admin of the site?  Can they log in and access those pages?

Last time I looked around the Templates site, I do recall seeing some of these
as well as spam.  If I had to guess, it's junk content in the site, or the
template was simply removed.  What pages link to them?  Maybe they're just stale
links?

I took the liberty of changing this just a few minutes ago.

It would be good to include this in the release instructions.  After making the
folder unstaged, just go into the subdirs and click the "i" icon for the Mac
release, and mark it as default.  Repeat for Windows & Linux.  Other types don't
really matter too much.

Re: Request for Nofollow or Removal of Links to My Site at Openoffice

2016-09-26 Thread Dave Brondsema
Hi,

Short answer: we'll take a look and see what we can do.

For reference, the Templates site is managed through the
https://sourceforge.net/projects/aoo-templates/ project on SourceForge.  Web
hosting documentation here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Project%20Web%20Services/  Gav and
Andrea Pescetti ("aooadmin") have access to the project, and we can add more.
Similarly the extensions site is run through the "aoo-extensions" project with
same admins plus Roberto too.  I don't see an OOOUSERS wiki page documenting
this, perhaps I can create one soon.

I do see quite a bit of spam and blank/forbidden items on the templates site, so
it does need some cleanup for sure.

We do have some Drupal experience inhouse at SourceForge, I can talk with our
team and see how soon we can get in there and address this formsbirds.com
request, as well as maybe a bit more cleanup.

Andrea, if you're reading this, do you have any pointers regarding the
administration of the extensions/templates?  I think you've done most of the
work on them in the past.  Our in-house guys can probably help out but aren't
familiar with the specifics of these sites at all.

Additionally, as the files are rsync'd up to SourceForge, they start getting
pushed out to SourceForge's mirrors which can take some time too.  You can click
the "i" icon for a file to see how many mirrors it is on so far.

I recommend creating the 4.1.3 directory via the web interface, which will let
you "stage" it, meaning it will be hidden from common visitors.  After all the
files are uploaded and at least several mirrors have them, you can "unstage" the
directory at the official release time.

If you have any issues with it, support staff via
https://sourceforge.net/support should be responsive, or reach out to me
directly and I'll be glad to help.

IMO yes, this is a good tactic.  Since the news is getting public, best to
embrace it.

As stated on the other thread, SourceForge could run messaging as well, to help
get the word out.  Best for the PMC to craft the content of course, but SF could
run it on many places if desired.  E.g. newsletter, announcement banner on
developer pages, social media, etc.  Lots of options.
