-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi All
Thank John for a topic like this, It is good for us to not wait too much before to start again the engine of development. A huge efforts was done, this year and the previous, some of us have decided to step down for personal and different reasons. But I want to thank everyone for the work involved here. Like you have said John, we are all volunteers and we bring the skill, the time, the envy that the life provides us, nothing more, nothing less. Indeed we have to write and update a 'new roadmap' for the SME Server, I will try to have a look on this, but even if anything start by an idea, we need coders or people really involved for doing it. You could easily understand it is not because you need it for your job, That we will do it for your beautiful eyes. Please come here and become volunteers :) However in the meanwhile we have a huge work to migrate the buildsys to our new cluster, and I'm not the more qualified to talk of this, but I imagine the amount of things to do. Here some draft ideas, of course you can disagree, it is not a drama. - -Find New people In bugzilla Quite sure that we will find a job for you, even if you know nothing. - -Horde I would see SME Server with your contrib to become a core part of sme. We started with horde, for what I tested, it is useful, thanks for your works. - -Samba4 For the next release we will have to use it. It is really not my circle of competencies, other may answer better than me, mainly if we want to have an Active directory compatibility. I have the feeling that it is wanted, asked, but no works really started. Please go If you want this. - -DNS name from dhcpd server I have continued the work of some developers, the purpose is to give a real dns name instead of dummy name pc-001, pc-002 etc. see http://bugs.koozali.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2388 I have it in use in a college, about 250 computers, work fine. You have a contribs for sme8 to test it. Of course we could probably enhance it. - -Bugs verified not released some verified bugs are pending a release, that could be good to see and discuss why and what we wait http://wiki.contribs.org/Verified_bugs - -Centos7/SME10 I'm not kidding, huge challenge, at minimum all services must be rewritten for using systemd. I Speak only for me, but maybe that could be a good opportunity to merge neth server and sme server. The fork was a consequence for needs of their customers, I don't think it was really wanted. At minimum to share the core between the two distros if we don't want their server-manager (written actually in php but that could change). For what I know, their manager is not a part of their core package, you can remove it if needed. - -New enhanced backup from Ian Is this a bug report which track your work Ian ? Quite sure that you can add more things to this list, you can add some informations, or comments. You are welcome to disagree !
