forums + portal for {lang}.centos.org sites

Hi, Earlier in the evening today Ralph, Fabian and I had a chat about the present state of the language subsites. This email sort of summarises the main issue ( s/w ). We seem to have run into a slight technical hitch with punbb/fluxbb. They dont support LDAP as a backend. And we had decided a few months back that all new rollouts must have ldap backend so we can rollin CentOS-DS / openldap based backend. So we need to look at alternatives, and since the primary focus of these international sites is going be forums : Here is a shortlist ( if there is anything else that people are aware of, please add to this list ) - phpBB - SMF - Fudforum - phorum - fluxbb Requirements: - Must be able to scale ( couple of hundred thousand msgs ) - Must be able to handle ldap auth ( if it cant, whats involved in writing the ldap-auth portion ) - Must address the specific requirements raised by the present www.centos.org forum users ( Can you please fill this section in ? ) - Must support all languages we need ( pure utf8 support would be good ) - Secure - Skin'able Nice to have: - Capable of running multiple instances from a single deployment - responsive community :D Things we will need to do: - Decide on what s/w to use. - Give the ArtWork people enough time to get the look & feel sorted. - Migrate newbb forums from www.centos.org to $system ( hey, english is a language too :D ). - Migrate fr.centos.org into the final s/w - setup {de/es/ja/it/pt_br}.centos.org Actions: Ralph and Fabian are going to work on setting up a test ldap server, once that is online we will then start by installing into our test-vm-farm the various s/w to eval them. If anyone would like to help, please feel free to jump right in. I'll setup a wiki page for this issue, which might be a good place to track progress. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

Interested in IA64 build.
by James A. Peltier 22 Jan '13

22 Jan '13

I noticed on the SIG that people interested in other ports of interest. I'd like to express interest in the IA64 port. What is the best way to get started? I have two SGI Itanium 2 based machines. One 64 processor x 64GB SGI Altix and a 32 processor x 32GB RAM SGI Prism. They are currently running CentOS 4.8 and I would love to be able to run CentOS 5.5 on them to get them into compliance with the rest of the cluster. -- James A.

info about CR repo
by Gianluca Cecchi 17 Aug '12

17 Aug '12

Hello, going through the Open Atrium Portal it seems that the final release could be close.... And at the same time both the 6.3 individual packages and 0-day updates are available. As I saw something similar with 6.2 coming very close to upstream release, I have a question: the CR repo is not something that gets packages available as soon as rpm packages pass QA, correct? So the aim is to avoid CR if possible and use it only if the time between upstream release and CentOS is becoming huge.... Something like a contingency plan and not a planned thing... Am I correct?

RPM Packaging SIG
by Travis Paul 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

I'm curious about the status and goals of the RPM Packaging SIG but there is no information available on the site. Since my company switched to CentOS last year I have been building and maintaining RPMs and YUM repositories for our projects. I'd like to continue building my skills in this area and help out CentOS at the same time. If there's some way that I can help in this area please direct me to any information on the subject. Thanks, Travis Paul
