Here is my attempt to remove the bits from the Slug website which don't 
work and put in simple links to the bits which do work. The result is 
not pretty, but at least it should work:

I would be happy to put something simple and functional together.

Who is the contact looking after the website and the hosting currently?

No opinion about any local hosters but I’ve been using bluehost 
(http://bluehost.com) for a couple of years. At US$4/month I find their 
offering superb. On request (once) they provide ssh access which CLI junkies 
like moi find invaluable. They run CentOS

Hi All,

How about a hackfest of the website at the SLUG meeting on Friday evening.

Who has the passwords? Do we have to recover them?

There is a link to "See the code" which points to

On the Slug home page I see a row of menu items across the top: "Home | Events

Here is what happens when I select them:

* Home: takes me to the same page (as expected).
* Events: displays the text "SLUG Events", with a yellow rectangle below
it, but no actual events.
* Archives: displays the text "Welcome to nginx!" but no archives
* Mailing List: displays "Welcome to nginx!" but no mailing lists.
* Get the code!: takes me to GitHub with a repository of Slug stuff, but why?

Below these menu items it says "Sydney Linux User Group" and there is a 
paragraph describing the
group (which makes sense).

Then below that it says "#sydlug @slugupdates both Loading tweets..." which 
does not make much
sense. I assume these are the hastag, twitter address and a list of recent 
Tweets is then supposed
to appear (but thankfully does not: who would want this?).

Next to that is "Previously at SLUG (more on YouTube) Enabled HTML5 Video!" 
with a video window
underneath. I have video turned off by default so thankfully nothing plays (why 
would I want it to?).

Below that is "Attend the next meeting, Sponsor An event or SLUG as a whole,

* GIVE A TALK: Opens a window asking for my Open Id to log into the Slug

I suggest:

1. Replace the video and the twitter feed windows with hypertext links.
2. Delete "Get the code!"
3. Get the other menu options to work.

Not a great advertisement for Linux in Sydney :(

Whoever is looking after the website, isn't. Does SLUG need a new 
website sponsor? or is the organisation passed it's use by date? T'would 
be a pity indeed.

Google Docs.  Seriously, their form stuff is pretty reasonable, and
gives a spreadsheet - which is often how folks actually want that data
in the end..  Otherwise, SurveyMonkey and few other services will do
an OK job of presenting this.

Limesurvey is nice.

Typical Php+mysql

Its very feature filled, so setting up surveys has a learning curve. You 
have to wrap your head around how they have presented the (gui driven) 
survey configuration.


it can be found on fm, google, etc.

[SLUG] website or browser bug?

[Grant Parnell]

I'm trying to print this page out.
http://www.sbr.gov.au/content/accounting_bookkeeping_and_tax_professionals_taxonomy_2.htm

I've tried various browsers on Ubuntu Hardy (firefox, epiphany, galeon, 
konqueror...) plus firefox on Fedora Core 6. They all suffer the same 
issue which can be demonstrated by going to print preview. All I get is 
the url text. It seems to render on screen just fine. I've also turned 
off java  javascript in to see if that would do it.


This is just one of the pages we want to be able to print and look at

Re: [SLUG] website or browser bug?

The print stylesheet is all wrong, basically culling everything.

A way around this would be to delete the print stylesheet in Firebug
(simplest solution I can think of).

Download/isntall Firebug extension. Restart Firefox.
Tools  Firebug  Open Firebug
In Firebug select HTML tab.
In the HTML expand the following elements: html  head
In head find the following element and right click Delete Element:
link media=print type=text/css rel=stylesheet
href=../_stylesheet/subpages_print.css/

Then you should be able to print (that particular page your working on).

Might be a simpler way, but its what first comes to mind.

In head find the following element and right click Delete Element:
link media=print type=text/css rel=stylesheet
href=../_stylesheet/subpages_print.css/

Then you should be able to print (that particular page your working  
on).


Might be a simpler way, but its what first comes to mind.


I'm trying to print this page out.
http://www.sbr.gov.au/content/accounting_bookkeeping_and_tax_professionals_taxonomy_2.htm

I've tried various browsers on Ubuntu Hardy (firefox, epiphany,  
galeon,

konqueror...) plus firefox on Fedora Core 6. They all suffer the same
issue which can be demonstrated by going to print preview. All I  
get is
the url text. It seems to render on screen just fine. I've also  
turned

off java  javascript in to see if that would do it.

This is just one of the pages we want to be able to print and look at
from this site.

Re: [SLUG] SLUG website down?

[David Kempe]

Hi,
yeah we lost a disk in array on the server that hosts the VM.
It kinda failed and un-failed and then finally died.

Its OK now, just not redundant until we replace the disk tomorrow so it 
might go down again :)


Sorry for any inconvience...


thanks

The SLUG Website needs a make-over with things such as:

slug.org.au
   * set up regular backups
   * get a new design for slug.org.au
   * get a google map link for the locations

[SLUG] Un-announce: SLUG Website codefest

[Silvia Pfeiffer]

This is a quick notice to let everyone know that the planned SLUG
Website codefest this Saturday is not going to happen because we lack
a venue.

We will need to locate a good venue with connectivity for another time
to re-schedule.

Cheers,
Silvia.

[SLUG] Website Codefest

[Silvia Pfeiffer]

So you think SLUG's Web presense sucks?
Here's your chance to fix it.


  7 Oct SLUG Website Codefest

Start: 2006-10-07 10:30
End: 2006-10-07 16:00
Location: UTS

There are still many things that the SLUG website lacks. Mostly this
is because it requires work to fix it and we all run low on time. No
better reason to have a fest! Possible things to fix:

   * add drupal modules for online payment et al
   * nicer design
   * fix iCal
   * Dokuwiki - drupal authentication hookup
   * google map link for the location
   * automatic email reminders
   * fix the wiki

We'll work in small teams and organise who does what at the start.

At 3pm we will take stock and see if we can publish some of the
fixes/contributions to the real site.

At 4pm a prize will be given to the team with the best achievement
(the committee will be the judge).

[SLUG] New SLUG website

[Lindsay Holmwood]

G'day all,
After months of planning, hacking and setbacks, we've just made the
shift over to the new Drupal-based SLUG website.

The biggest improvements are event management, working iCal/RSS feeds,
and a working user privilege system.

However, the new site is in need of some love with URLs, content, and theming.

The old site has been moved to beta.slug.org.au, and will require some
of the static content to be moved over. We want to preserve our urls
to keep our Google juice, so it'll require a bit of mod_rewrite work.

We also need a new website theme. We're using the phptemplate theming
engine, so if you've got some mad theming skills we'd love  to see
what you can come up with. More information on this will be posted in
the next day.

If you are an organiser of events and such, you'll be able add your
events to the website yourself. Taking the committee out of the
announcement loop will help get your event advertised sooner!

The iCal feed for events can be found at http://slug.org.au/event/ical.

If you want to help out with any of the things above, or start posting
your own SLUG-related events, you can give the committee a buzz at
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Cheers,
Lindsay

Good choice of themeing engine. I've applied more Drupal themes than I
care to recall, unfortunately I am not a designer. I will happily apply
any design that is presented into a drupal theme. Whether it comes in
html, colour codes or even an image file :)

Why not choose one from http://oswd.org/ ?

That's definitely an option if we don't have any submissions. People
are free to adapt existing themes to a style more suitable to SLUG and
submit them too.

[SLUG] website and mailing list issues

[Jacinta Richardson]

G'day everyone,

I'm really glad to see that SLUG is up and running again.

Around about the 11th of January the SLUG mailing list and website went off line
for a few days before returning.  It appears to have happened again and only now
recovered.  Is this a hosting issue?  Machine failure? Some failure somewhere
between me and there?

I've heard on the grapevine that the issue was related to servers dying, home
ADSL links and general relocation, but I was wondering whether more information
was available.  In particular whether everything is better now, or whether more
downtime is expected in the near future.

All the best,

J

On the grapevine I've heard rumour of virtual hosting happening among
other things. If anyone who is busting a gut on this right now could
give a quick overview, that'd be great :)

Hi,
I don't know how it broke, but we have had a long offer to rehost the 
slug box for a while now. That offer was taken up finally after maddog 
being down for a while, and as a result SLUG (website and mailling 
lists) are hosted on a Xen 3.0 VM on AMD64 on one of our boxes. The VM 
is called Rusty and has 256MB Ram allocated with 10Gb of hard drive 
space. Rusty also seems to host linuxchix and AMSsig and maybe a few others.

Anyway, the new VM lives in a shiny new server in at Equinix here:

http://www.equinix.com/prod_serv_asia/sydney/
(in fact if you look closely in the first picture, the rack is the 
second one in on the third row!) :)


Solutions First is donating the VM and bandwidth to SLUG, and would love 
for everyone to be nice and refer some hosting work our way if you 
appreciate it :) Just email me if you want details.


We will also be offereing Xen based VM hosting on our new AMD64 boxes in 
the near future, (or now if you don't mind a lead time on provisioning) 
so keep us in mind if you want to try out Xen (its much better than 
UML). Though of course we are based here in Sydney, so we can't compete 
(and don't want to) with US based hosting for bandwidth. Of course we 
kick em on service :)


As for what happend to Maddog, I this Chris Deigan can fill you in.

Thanks

Dave
