Just a quick update on the progress of the LUGNET transition...
- We’re continuing to determine and define roles that will be needed during the transition and beyond, plus how we go about determining who should fill those roles.
- We’re improving the membership process incrementally, to remove the single points of failure. This week, Todd has enabled multiple persons to administer new membership applications and to approve news posting appications. (He’s still the bottleneck for final activation, but is working on fixing that and send apologies to those still pending.) A way for other admins to do password resets is being worked on but is not quite ready yet. For right now Frank and Lar have agreed to help administer in this area as well.
- We’re working to keep the process as transparent as we can, and also to keep the changes transparent to users. Many improvements that have already been put in place did not impact how users use LUGNET at all, except to add additional capability (admin cancel, curatorship administration, etc.).
- The new servers have been up and running for 28 days without incident. The RAID1 subsystem which Matthew set up on the primary system is running at an amazingly low cost in CPU cycles. Gigabit Ethernet between the two machines is not yet active but the hardware is there. Todd is beginning to migrate the filesystem from the old (current) server to the new servers. A final switchover date has not been set but is estimated at sometime 3-6 weeks away. Some services (most likely the set database for starters) are expected in duplicate form for testing within a week or so, depending on how things go. We’re trying to leap the code base from Perl 5.005 to 5.8.x and to avoid installing 5.005 unless absolutely necessary.
Also, we still hope to see more responses to
this post.
If you’re involved in a project, please take the time to post a quick
summary as a followup to it. It will be a great help to us and will ensure
that important initiatives are not overlooked.
