Re: Migrating to Community-driven Infrastructure - Step 1: Inventory
 

dont think wikipedia is the place to migrate our wiki

why not contacting elinux pple , there are some data linked at

http://elinux.org/Maemo

http://wiki.maemo.org/Main_Page

both are using mediawiki . so it could be merged isnt it ?

btw how big is the wiki ?

for OBS let me suggest to open an other thread , because that one is not easy to setup ...

Re: Migrating to Community-driven Infrastructure - Step 1: Inventory
 

I'm wondering, how "transferable" forum content (database) is between crappy vBulletin and something Open Source'd, like phpBB.

sure, it isn't most important think - OBS is much more - but it would be great to retain TMO functionality, run on better and cheaper platform.

Re: wiki - hosting mediawiki on any hardware capable of handling repositories, OBS etc isn't a big issue, let's just get a dump of the current one (plus custom maemo.org styling etc) and import it.

Re: Migrating to Community-driven Infrastructure - Step 1: Inventory
 

We're going to lose some functionality. It's a matter of prioritizing what is important and keeping it.

Website content can easily be moved.

Garage is not going to be accessible indefinitely - that's the point of figuring out what to keep.

We are relying upon OBS with scratchbox2.

Re: Migrating to Community-driven Infrastructure - Step 1: Inventory
 

definitively, keeping OBS would be a great and by the way adding fremantle support would be awesome , about tizen infrastructure i mentionned earlier i fear the project will not support deb packages , so it will share less than i thought ...

Re: Migrating to Community-driven Infrastructure - Step 1: Inventory
 

There is some tool which can convert vbulletin to phpbb2. And phpbb2 can be upgraded to phpbb3. (also there is tool which can convert phpbb to mybb). I do not think there is other converting tool from vbulletin to XYZ.

Re: Migrating to Community-driven Infrastructure - Step 1: Inventory
 

Yeah, this is a big one. Source code at least should definitely be preserved (including revision control history), and it shouldn't be too hard to do so, but other things like bugs, mailing lists and so on will be trickier. It doesn't help that each individual project hosted there needs to be considered separately. Shouid we perhaps crowdsource it?

I'm not up to date on this, can sb2 support Maemo 2.0 .. 4.1 now?

Re: Migrating to Community-driven Infrastructure - Step 1: Inventory
 

About schedule and infrastructure. Three things are needed :
- Servers hardware
- Internet service provider
- Maintenance work


We are planning to buy three servers for Nemein to run maemo.org to end of year. At the moment I don't see any reason why these servers could not be used serve maemo.org later.

About maintenance and ISP I can't speak for Nemein, how much money is required and what part of maintenance work can be run by volunteers.

There is still half of year period for community to organize and find some new sponsors covering costs.

Even maemo.org is not Qt-only, memo.org has also a lot of common with Qt-project, so why not take advantage on that.

Re: Migrating to Community-driven Infrastructure - Step 1: Inventory
 

After googling I found that Nemein is a web services development company, I did not know that. So other than the fact that they developed part of maemo.org, why would they host/sponsor maemo.org ?

And I assume you mean Nemo, since memo.org doesn't seem to be of much use.
I know it is some kind of alternative OS for N9xx, based of MeeGo and Mer project, but I have no idea who are active in development and how big that community is.

Re: Migrating to Community-driven Infrastructure - Step 1: Inventory
 

They are the current infrastructure maintainers under contract with Nokia. AFAIK the actual hosting is on a third-party ISP. You would have to ask Nemein whether they would be willing to sponsor maemo.org later, but it might be difficult for them at a time when they will have just lost a major source of income.

That was obviously a typo for "maemo.org".
