Okay, so this one is getting out somewhat later than planned. Technically, I think it's Mar 8 before it leaves my editor. However, since i started it on the 7th, and I'm going by gamer's rules (I didn't sleep yet, so it's not tomorrow!), it's sent as of the 7th.
The past week has actually been a pretty busy one. Add in some of the extra work that got done tonight, and getting this out later looks like it can be excused. *What Got Done? * - Google Summer of Code application to be an organization mentor has been filed. This required setting myself up on the site. Turns out that anybody wishing to be a mentor also needs to hop into the site and get themselves set up. More on this below. - We've been working with Mark Ramm and SF itself. Thanks to some of the way we've been doing things, we helped them find some minor problems in the way the git repositories were being displayed. As of now, they've fixed those problems, and Mark tells me they've added additional monitoring to prevent the problems occurring for others. I'd like to extend thanks to Mark for doing this. - Doing a direct migration of Trac into SF's system, as it turns out, was not feasible. We've created a turbogears2 project to house the tracker and code repositories already. The tracker has received some basic configuration as well. More may be desirable, but we should be able to begin migration. More on this below, as well. - We're transitioning the turbogears.org whois itself. This will relieve Kevin of having to deal with DNS updates. Kevin, thank you for your trust. We'll take good care of TG. If we're really lucky, we'll do well enough that you want to work with us on it full time again. - A couple of minor updates to the repositories have allowed us to begin moving forward. Future installations, for instance, will become as easy as 'easy_install TurboGears2'. - Florent and Christoph have been working steadily on the new server. *Where Are We Now?* As you can see from above, what has been a semi-slow transition has gotten almost alarmingly quick this week. We got a lot accomplished, and the next two weeks promise to see even more. For the Google Summer of Code application, we now need mentors to step up and sign in. Go to http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2011/userguide#depth_createswpand get your GSoC profile created. Assuming we are accepted, we'll be ready for the next step, which is attaching mentors to our organization. For those of you who are curious, you can check out http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2011/userguide#depth_mentapplyfor the details. Over at SF, we've got a project created for TG2, and it's at https://sourceforge.net/p/turbogears2/home/ . The tracker looks like it manages to provide most of the same configuration options as we had for Trac (now that I've plugged those fields in). Our goal for now is to start SF with a clean slate, and actually separate TG1 and TG2 into individual projects. The new server is pretty much feature complete. We just need to enable it in DNS, and let people start poking at it. *What Are We Doing This Week?* We're going to manually migrate tickets to SF from Trac. The number that we have is not large, so we should be able to pretty easily manage the migration for at least TG2 this week. The DNS changes, assuming the registrars in question don't manage to muck things up, will start being visible by Friday. *What's In The Future?* That's right, a new segment, and this one isn't as happy. This week I'll have some free time to continue devoting to TG. From Mar 14 through Mar 25, though, is suspect at best. We're rolling out a new POS system at work on Mar 21, and I'm one of the people responsible for the technical backend support. I don't know how much time I'll have to devote to TG during that timeframe. I hope it will continue as it has, and let me have a fair amount of free time at night, but I don't know it will. I'll still post this status, even if all I can do is say "OMGWTFBBQ". Hopefully it won't be that bad. -- Michael J.
