Podmin email list

Pirate Praveen PublicSeen by 28

I think we should create a private mailing list with all podmins in it. We can have poddery at fosscommunity.in Anivar has to create it.

Manu Krishnan T V

Any update on this? Feels like few people like Anivar and Sooraj who need to be aware of this to take an action doesn't have access to this discussions or wasn't notified about it.

Pirate Praveen

We can install groupserver and start migrating lists from old server. We can also create new lists on it. Any volunteers?

Manu Krishnan T V

If someone can take the lead, I'll be happy to help. A bit busy this week to commit on new things.

Nitesh A Jain

I can take it up, but i need some to guide me and make sure I do it right....

Pirate Praveen

@niteshajain first try and install groupserver on your local machine. Once you try it, we can run it on our server.

Nitesh A Jain

I was able to install it...but when i try to access over the browser it gives the following error

@manukrishnantv any advice?

Manu Krishnan T V

@niteshajain What about testing the same on a test VPS? I can get you one with 256MB RAM and give that a try. If its successful, we could do it in the poddery server.

Manu Krishnan T V

We might need this setup soon or find an alternative for the discussions to happen. Right now, I checked savepoddery gmail account and there are mails from users which needs to be responded. One can't respond to it by his own and it needs to be discussed. So, let me know where I should share the details of the mail.

@praveenarimbrathod @anisha @balasankarchelamat

@manukrishnantv we can sign up one list with private archives on autistici.org or on riseup.net temporarily until we have our own infra. Feel free to create one.

Balasankar C

I don't know about GroupServer. So a doubt. Why Groupserver?? Why not GNU Mailman? We are using that for our public list na?

Pirate Praveen

@balasankarchelamat because there is no web interface or even a good archive interface (no conversations) for mailman. Groupserver can feature compete with Google Groups. We have to move our current mailing lists from dreamhost.

Pirate Praveen

@manukrishnantv or we can wait till next week and create a secret group here itself. Or we can already make a private group.

Nitesh A Jain

@manukrishnantv Hmm.. I have exams till 27th...i can try after that....

Manu Krishnan T V

@niteshajain Fine. @praveenarimbrathod thinks it will take some while to have Groupserver setup working fine. Till then we could have a private group in autistici.

Balasankar C

@manukrishnantv If you can give me a server for trying, I would like to try setting up group server...

Balasankar C

@manukrishnantv @niteshajain What is the current status of the admin list?

Manu Krishnan T V

@balasankarchelamat No progress yet. Can you create a private list as @praveenarimbrathod mentioned?

Nitesh A Jain

i am getting a dependency error when i run the install script provided by groupserver....the dependency conflict occurs with python-setuptools. I have tried both packages from stable and testing of debian....but the installer stops...

Nitesh A Jain

so as @praveenarimbrathod suggested, I have signed up for a mailing list at autistici...will update the details once i recieve them

Balasankar C

@niteshajain Haha.. I also signed up.. :D .. I think you will get details first. So let't use that.

@manukrishnantv Do you have a spare server for me to try installing?

Nitesh A Jain

@balasankarchelamat oh ok....
Also you can also try using the community cloud of eucalyptus for a instance...however the instance last only for 6 hours

Nitesh A Jain

So i got the credentials for autistici....i am making @praveenarimbrathod and @manukrishnantv as admins of the list...is that ok?

Pirate Praveen

@niteshajain update the password list gpg file and share.

Pirate Praveen

@manukrishnantv can you provide test server access to @jinesh ? With Akhil they have already setup groupserver locally. I met them at ILUGB meetup last week in Mumbai.

Pirate Praveen

I have created a new group for this. Nigel Babu has promised to look at this.
