Status report & meeting summary
Published 2. February 2009 by Jon Kristian. Tags: meeting, News, status
Hello everybody! I know it’s been quite a while since i promised to post a status-report and discussion summary from the meeting, but better late then never:)
Things have been busy for me these past months, with deadlines, meetings and planning the future of my company. We are just starting up and there has been alot of preparations which has made it almost impossible for me to focus on this project. Good news is, we got our own office a couple of weeks ago and a new line which will be operational within 3 weeks. This means that the server will be moved and it will have alot more bandwidth, second good news is, I’ve just finished a huge programming job and have more time to spare on this project.
So here’s the summary from our meeting
Repo: Subversion style repository with mainly a Stable/Unstable checkout. We were discussing the possiblilty of using googlecode as our main system, So far there has not been any effort to set up something on googlecode, so I, along with a couple of other people have decided to host our own. There are many reasons why i, personally don’t want to use googlecode, to mention some of them, space issues, legal issues, integration issues, hosting our own gives larger control and can in the future be incorporated in the site’s backend. As far as bandwith and other techincal challenges, the main server will be moved to my new office, if you skipped the intro, I’ve already talked about that further up.
Website: As for the profile, we have already chosen a logo and me (jonkristian) is working on the design and programming. The site will eventually contain a news section, a forum, a wiki, a ticket system and a package browser. There has been talk on using trac, mediawiki, moinmoin, dokuwiki or the likes, prefferable one that contains a bugtracking system. As markuman pointed out along the way, this is a tall order to take on, so it will take some time for it to exist in reality.
If you have any feedback, or feel that I’ve left something out, the post is open for discussion below
