07:06:38 aaime: Hi FrankW
07:06:57 aaime: what is the best way to get a login on the server hosting the geotools web pages?
07:07:03 aaime: should I open a ticket?
07:07:18 aaime: ( we want to share the maintenance load between a few people )
07:07:33 FrankW: you can ask me. What is your osgeo userid?
07:08:24 FrankW: sorry, that was for aaime.
07:08:44 aaime: FrankW, it's aaime : )
07:09:15 FrankW: ok, you have login access now.
07:09:19 FrankW: I'll also give you sudo.
07:09:56 aaime: wow, that was quick!
07:10:00 aaime: thanks a lot FrankW
07:10:11 FrankW: I would add that anyone who already has login access can visit https://www.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/auth/ldap_shell.py to give it to others, and can edit /etc/sudoers using their own sudo access.
07:10:35 aaime: oh, interesting
07:10:43 aaime: I should put that info somewhere...
07:11:06 FrankW: You can find hints on it in the SAC pages, such as http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/SAC_Service_Status where it describes the server in question.
07:11:07 sigq: Title: SAC Service Status - OSGeo Wiki ( at wiki.osgeo.org )
07:11:40 FrankW: Actually, it doesn't really look like there are any notes on this server being used for GeoTools yet... it would be good to add it.
07:11:45 FrankW: In the xblade14-2 section.
07:12:19 aaime: ok
07:12:55 aaime: doing so now
07:14:52 aaime: FrankW, done

08:10:12 darkblue_B: hi TylerM, all
08:10:52 darkblue_B: in light of a request for a "State of OSGeo" lightening talk in San Jose, Caliornia next month, I was surfng a bit last night
08:11:10 darkblue_B: I am intruiged by this Climate PlugFest contest
08:11:24 darkblue_B: co-sponsored by OSGeo, among others
08:11:43 darkblue_B: I guess I could contact ( the obviously very busy ) C Shorter
08:11:58 darkblue_B: but I wondered if anyone knew a bit more about the state of it
08:15:40 darkblue_B: ClimateChallenge2009
08:18:00 darkblue_B: subscribed to mail list just now..
08:27:44 darkblue_B: oops, list reg fails
09:24:38 FrankW: pramsey: I'm a bit confused about the 2007.foss4g.org ticket - what do you need?
09:24:55 FrankW: You want to somewhere to host a postgres backed site at osgeo?
09:25:11 pramsey: I need a webroot, a pgsql database, and php.
09:26:21 FrankW: Would you like to put this on the upload.osgeo.org host ( also hosting www.gdal.org, and various other web sites )?
09:26:35 FrankW: That has been the server we use for modest complexity websites.
09:26:47 FrankW: But you need to be aware we provide no systematic backup mechanism on this server.
09:27:16 FrankW: I can certainly provide you account and sudo on that host if you want to put it there.
09:27:18 pramsey: it's not a changing site, and I have all the data myself
09:27:20 FrankW: But you would basically have to take it from there.
09:27:32 hobu: pramsey should be shell enabled already
09:27:42 pramsey: I can do so. It is fairly obvious where these sites lfe?
09:27:44 pramsey: live?
09:28:12 FrankW: I normally create a directory under /osgeo for new web sites, and make appropriate mods in the apache config directory to reference it.
09:28:29 FrankW: If you have questions, hobu or I should be able to help.
09:28:42 pramsey: OK
09:28:50 FrankW: Please do add a brief not on the SAC_Service_Status wiki topic if you setup the site on this blade.
09:29:04 FrankW: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/SAC_Service_Status
09:29:05 sigq: Title: SAC Service Status - OSGeo Wiki ( at wiki.osgeo.org )
09:29:08 FrankW: Under xblade14-2.
09:30:44 darkblue_B: .. tickets.. is that trac.osgeo.org/osgeo ?
09:31:15 FrankW: darkblue_B: yes
09:31:20 pramsey: thanks FrankW
09:49:49 Deeewayne: hey guys. I see spec files for gdal and proj, but does anyone know if a spec for geos was ever created ?
09:52:16 crschmidt: a spec file is... a Gentoo thing?
09:53:07 Deeewayne: crschmidt, no, spec files are used for building RPM's
09:57:43 Deeewayne: well if one does not exist, maybe I'll create it
09:58:29 tbonfort: Deeewayne, http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/SRPMS/repoview/geos.html
09:58:30 sigq: Title: RepoView: Fedora EPEL 5 Source RPM Packages ( at download.fedora.redhat.com )
09:59:44 Deeewayne: tbonfort, thanks
10:00:58 : * tomkralidis is wondering if there is an OSGeo geonetwork install of public geodata
10:02:03 FrankW: tomkralidis: there was an attempt to set one up, but I don't think it was entirely successful.
10:02:27 tomkralidis: ah, ok

19:06:00 darkblue_B: pramsey: hi
19:06:07 pramsey: darkblue_B: hi
19:06:29 darkblue_B: is that server for FOSS4g related to the ClimateChallenge2009 you think?
19:07:39 pramsey: "that server for foss4g'/
19:07:42 pramsey: ?
19:08:19 darkblue_B: oh I thought you said you were setting up a server
19:08:25 darkblue_B: this morning
19:08:29 darkblue_B: something about foss4g
19:09:30 pramsey: moving the old 2007 site onto osgeo infrastructure and into the xxxx.foss4g.org name space.
19:09:39 darkblue_B: ok - thats it then
19:14:35 darkblue_B: works from here - dang you're good
19:15:49 darkblue_B: looks like somebody created a 50 page paper on the state of OSS GIS
19:15:56 darkblue_B: with pictures
19:24:29 pramsey: ?
19:26:58 darkblue_B: that would be you
19:27:24 darkblue_B: its a verbal verification that I can browse the 2007 site, plus a potentially clever nice thing to say
19:27:52 darkblue_B: you have to have been ther
19:31:53 pramsey: : )
