Follow-up Comment #6, task #14971 (project administration): > Then perhaps "www.gnu.org portion" would be a more adequate type; but you'll have to speak to FSF's people like rms (not sysadmins) to approve it.
That makes sense. I'll wait to hear from sysadmin@, then I'll ask them to kindly put me in touch with the right people at FSF, if not rms himself. > Please note https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Content Thanks for linking that. I had no idea that "content" was one of those words. > Anyway, it would help if you describe your needs in more detail: what you are going to host, what facilities you will need and how you plan to use them. My apologies if I wasn't clear enough. I've included below a copy of the email I sent to sysadmin@ last night, which contains some more details about our current infra and what we'd need. > Do you actually need a dedicated Savannah group? Can't you use, say, https://savannah.gnu.org/p/emacs ? Hmm, that may be a possibility. Aside from a mailing list, we need infra to host a wiki on emacsconf.org (not sure if it can be handled using regular cvs web repos), ability to create git repositories on savannah, mediagoblin instance for hosting conference videos and media (similar to that of LibrePlanet), and also integrating with civicrm's event module and trustcommerce for handling RSVPing and purchase of tickets for the conference. At least that's what I can remember right now. I'll amend more to the list if anything comes up. ---- Amin Bandali <[email protected]> (Today 01:58) (sent) Subject: Hosting for EmacsConf on Savannah and GNU infra To: [email protected] Date: Sat, 23 Jun 2018 01:58:40 -0400 Hello there, I'm one of the organizers of the previous EmacsConf back in 2015. I just submitted an application for getting EmacsConf set up on Savannah: https://savannah.gnu.org/task/?14971 I selected 'GUG' as project type because that seemed the closest. Our current infrastructure was down for a while, but I got it back up and running again over the course of last few days. However, I'd love to be able to host various parts of the EmacsConf infra on Savannah and other GNU infra, for a few reasons: . As a way of showing that EmacsConf values and very much agrees with the philosophy of the GNU project and FSF, . to hopefully bring more eyes on Savannah and free software tools, and . also avoid incurring the cost of running our own infra while we could rely on that of GNU. Currently, various pieces of emacsconf.org are as follows: . emacsconf.org the front page and the wiki of the site . git.emacsconf.org self-hosted git server (using Gogs) . discourse.emacsconf.org discussion forums - For the main site, emacsconf.org, I'd like to transition from the current Django-based CMS to using a wiki, perhaps either DokuWiki or Oddmuse, both of which are free software. - For our git repos, I'd like to host them on savannah.gnu. - For our discussion forum, I'd like to use a traditional mailing list over on lists.gnu.org. Additionally, it would be wonderful if FSF could help - set up mediagoblin for us, so we could host the conference videos and media on media.emacsconf.org, like LibrePlanet, and - provide some info on how to integrate civicrm's civi event module into our website so as to have a way of letting people RSVP for the conference, and also about using trustcommerce for handling ticket payments. Lastly, we have the #emacsconf irc channel on freenode, which is already listed among the official channels on https://www.gnu.org/server/irc-rules.en.html, so there's nothing more to be done on that front. Thanks very much in advance for the help.
