Re: [Server-devel] GSoC 2009?

2009-01-26 Thread Samuel Klein
Sounds like a fine idea to me, Martin.  Assuming we are accepted again
as a mentoring org, we should be eligible for more projects than last
year.  But do bear in mind that we may not get anyone interested in
those projects; and that a successful GSoC internship is primarily
about a good experience developing a meaningful product, and the
interns are free to define how to tackle the problem they undertake.

 GSoC is looming. I am thinking of putting some of the things that I
 was planning to do in the next X months as GSoC projects (and that I
 know I'm unlikely to hit).

 Ideally, I would take take 2 or 3 mentees, with a preference towards
 those who live in deployment regions...

Who handles that stuff (application as an org, etc)? Have we applied,
do we need to apply? IOWs, who do I hound?

For good or bad, I'm a veteran mentor of 2 GSoCs, I hope that some of
the subprojects I'm thinking of are compelling :-)

Most of this year I've been doing the unsexy, burdensome plumbing,
deferring the fun stuff. If GSoC'ers grab the fun stuff, more power to
them.

cheers,

Re: [Server-devel] GSoC: XS admin interface design plan

2008-03-23 Thread John Watlington

This combines monitoring with configuration.  Perhaps a clearer split  
at the top ?
Some monitoring should be open (as long as privacy considerations are
taken into account).

I see no need to configure iptables.   We are open by default, we  
only run
iptables to redirect for transparent proxy and protect one open port on
ejabberd right now.

What parameters would you allow tweaking for HTTP caching ?  I see zero.

You forgot WAN, tunnel, NAT, and DNS configuration.
All interfaces should request IPv6 as well as IPv4 information as  
appropriate.

Cheers,
wad

 I would like get your feedback to improve the plan.
