Re: Service decommissioning: tasks, ethercalc

[Andrea Veri]

CCing engagement-list as well as ethercalc was much likely requested
by that team.

Thanks,

Sure! I started a draft at [1]. Let me know if there's any other
information you need from my side!

Re: News Item: ARM Donations

[Andrea Veri]

Hey Nuritzi!

Thanks for this! One note: the GNOME Foundation recently received two
additional not-Arm machines from Red Hat which have been racked and
installed already. I originally had a chat about this with Oliver and
we thought making a joint announcement with the new Arm hardware was
probably a good move. Do you think we can make it happen?

We definitely want to thank Red Hat for the continued support.

Re: accidentally posted a blog post on w.g.o

[Andrea Veri]

Don't worry as blogs.gnome.org/wp-admin manages the blog at [1] which
was used by the Sysadmin Team in the past to broadcast updates of the
blogging platform at blogs.gnome.org [2]. The Wordpress instance at
blogs.gnome.org has nothing to do with w.g.o so your blog post didn't
end up on the main GNOME Website.

 For some reason, I ended up posting a blog post on w.g.o when I meant to put
 it on my personal blog.  Instead of going to blogs.gnome.org/sri/admin, I

 deleted the post.  But I wanted to mention it here in case people wondered
 what happened.

Re: Keeping external resources updated

[Andrea Veri]

Thanks for bringing this up Kat. I was suggested by Sri that Sumana
was possibly going to be our contact for helping us out managing our
external resources at Wikipedia. Unfortunately I tried to reach her
out about this back in April with no responses so far.

The various wiki pages you mentioned are definitely out of date (they
don't even mention the Groupon trademark dispute at all) and so is the
italian page at [1]. Is there anything we can do on this side? do we
have any other contact at Wikipedia other than Sumana?

2015-08-20 17:18 GMT+02:00 Ekaterina Gerasimova kittykat3...@gmail.com:
 Hi all,

 there are a number of external resources about GNOME which are used by
 people for information. I am specifically thinking about the pages on
 Wikipedia here, but I'm sure that there is other stuff as well. It
 would look more professional if GNOME's public-facing resources are at
 least correct.

 Is the engagement team willing to maintain at least the most prominent
 of these resources? Would it help to have a list of them with
 frequencies on how often they should be checked?

 For example:
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Foundation - had an old list of
 board members (fixed now) and doesn't have up-to-date information
 about the Foundation
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_GNOME_Project - is out of date
 (apparently next GUADEC is in A Coruña)
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Users_And_Developers_European_Conference
 is… well, dull and outdated

 investigating whether having torrents might work out long term.

 Could we run a bittorrent tracker to offer videos, test USB images of
 new releases and the likes, if we can't make them available via other
 means?

The Fedora Project Infrastructure makes use of torrents since many
years already, I'll get in touch with Kevin about this and hear what
kind of torrent server they're using behind the scenes and come up
with a plan for the GNOME Infrastructure to implement.

 i would not mind a torrent with all the videos or an FTP connection for
 easier downloading it would be nice if you can fix that once everything is
 uploaded :)

 We can offer torrents once this becomes a problem.
 We can also do it in first place, but that seems to be more work...
