[OSGeo-Discuss] server down?

2010-07-22 Thread Paolo Cavallini
Hi all.
AFAIK, the server who hosts the osgeo4w packages is down, and is replaced by a
backup, who does not allow upload by packagers: does anybody confirm this? Has
anybody an idea of when this will be fixed?
All the best, and thanks.

Thanks Mike.
I knew this, but the questions are:
- any idea about when the service will be back? Not being able to distribute 
update
packages is a serious issues for many
- (sorry if I'm rude, but) are we sure we can't do better to manage a vital
infrastructure? More than 10 days on a backup server does not sound very good 
to me;
weren't the blades new?
Any opinion?
All the best.


Paolo,

John has been working for several days now trying to get an OS installed
on the old download blade and booting again.  He has encountered odd issues
with the blade manager that I don't really understand.  So though we had
anticipated having the old blade back operational sooner that has not
occurred.

We certainly *could* do better in getting normal operation restored
but I have attempted to balance the criticality against the effort
level.  In particular, I rushed to get the download backup working
so end users would have access to software, but I have taken the position
that being able to update it conveniently can be delayed for a while
rather than replicate a bunch of setup work in two places.

I have been uploading packages to the download server on an adhoc
basis as needed, but I'm afraid to run the OSGeo4W regen software
as it is possible I might break things badly.

There is room for additional volunteers on the System Administration
Committee for folks willing to make an ongoing commitment and provide
phone contact information for day or night emergencies.   If you have
skills and commitment, please join the SAC mailing list and let us know.

Best regards,

 The support of OSGeo's system infrastructure is a volunteer affair.  If it is 
 not
 up, or not up to your standards, it is because you haven't volunteered to 
 help fix
 it :)  We can do better with your help.

Mine was not a critique to the efforts of volunteers (never!), but to the 
strategic
decision to leave the infrastructure management to volunteers. I think we need
professional support in this area, to have better performances and higher 
availability.
I repeat: no critique whatsoever to volunteers, just a suggestion for a 
strategic change.
All the best.

 I think we are functioning reasonably well within the financial, volunteer
 and many critical services situation we face.

ok, thanks a lot for the explanation.
All the best, and looking forward to see osgeo4w back! :)

[OSGeo-Discuss] Open Source OGC Sensor Web Enablement implementations [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

2010-07-22 Thread Bruce Bannerman
I'm trying to get an understanding of which FOSS4G projects are currently
(or are planning to) support OGC Observations and Measurements as well as
other OGC Sensor Web Enablement related standards.

We see this as a strategic direction that we'll need to explore.

Can you please reply to the list with urls to your documentation?

Many thanks in advance.

Bruce Bannerman
