[openFIRST-devel] openfirst.org migrations

[Tim G. <ti...@ti...>]

Hi,

As mentioned in my previous e-mail (dated 2008-02-27) I've been
migrating things from openfirst.org from one server to another.  This
has obviously taken more than the 2 week window I'd originally
anticipated it would fit in. The process itself isn't very time
consuming but I've had several other things to do and for much of the
time was traveling.  People don't seem to actually notice, anyway.

At this point the only subdomains not yet migrated are:

demo.openfirst.org
podcast.openfirst.org
playground.openfirst.org

Additionally, note that blog.openfirst.org isn't working properly at
the moment.  I don't believe this is related to the move, I think
things were in a broken state before the move began and that I didn't
discover this until post-move tests.  If you notice problems anywhere
related to this move, please let me know.

e-mail has not yet been migrated.  I've noticed that most (perhaps
all?) of the e-mail stored on the server currently is spam.  The
current size of the mail directory is 1.3 GB.  I believe the main
reason this stuff is sitting here is that for many accounts I'd
created real e-mail accounts and forwarders, most people only used the
forwarders, and duplicate copies of all messages are therefore still
sitting on the server.  I'd like to change this setup to only running
forwarding so that we don't continue to face increasing resource
requirements for something that's not getting anyone value.  If you
are actually using an @openfirst.org e-mail address other than just
forwarding or the mailing lists which are also forwards and/or you
have valuable e-mails archived there please make local copies.  If you
are unsure how to do this, do not have access to your account, or
would merely like me to send your mail directory to another e-mail
account (such as say GMail so you can archive it easily) please e-mail
me individually.

The list of these real accounts with non-empty sizes is:

anthony
bharat
dan
daniel
dave
debug
greg
guilherme
jamie
josh
kayla
larry
stephanie
steve
tim

I anticipate I will migrate e-mail addresses at some point a week or
two from today.

Thanks,

Tim

Hi Tim

Glad to see the openFIRST project is still up and running. I have to get 
a copy of the code some day and see where it has gone in the last few years.

However, I haven't been involved with the project at all lately, so feel 
free to just delete my account :)

Good luck with everything

- Greg

I've finished this migration.  Forwarding accounts are now setup.  It
may take some time for changes to propagate.  If you have e-mail
messages you'd like saved/given to you and you didn't grad them before
this time I've created an archive of them, contact me for your part.
