I want to update everyone <br>as to the status of AllStarLink now and going forward.<br><br>Let me say first, AllStarLink will continue to thrive and move into the <br>future. The steps we have taken, and will take, guarantee that. Never <br>again will any one person have to scramble to pay a server bill, add to <br>the DNS or renew the domain name.<br><br>Our first step was to identify the hosts and domains involved in the <br>infrastructure of ASL. We have done that. I have implemented a <br>monitoring system to notify us when we have a problem with a host. The <br>monitoring as of today is a basic available / not available system. I am <br>adding the monitoring of services specific to the host. That can be <br>HTTP, IAX, SIP, CPU load, Disk in use etc. At a later date, I will make <br>a page available to all that can be checked for overall health of the <br>entire ASL infrastructure.<br><br>The servers need rebuilding. The services need redistribution. Standards <br>need to be set. This will take time. Mission critical servers will have <br>a hot backup. In case of failure a standby server will take over until <br>repairs can be made. All servers will have a offsite cold backup. Data <br>will be daily coped to a remote storage array.<br><br>We are moving all services off of ohnosec.org. Thanks to Steve R for <br>keeping it going through the transition. The first step is move the <br>maillist app_rpt-users. It has been migrated to lists.allstarlink.org. <br>The archives are intact and old archives from lists.illiana.net from Dec <br>2005 to Oct 2008 were added. For the time being, mail sent to <br><a ymailto="mailto:app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org" href="mailto:app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485386022352_6020">app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org</a> will go to the new list.<br><br>An existing user on on the ohnosec list is valid with his existing <br>password and subscription on <a ymailto="mailto:app_rpt-users@allstarlink.org." href="mailto:app_rpt-users@allstarlink.org.">app_rpt-users@allstarlink.org.</a><br><br>A message posted to <a ymailto="mailto:app_rpt-users@allstarlink.org" href="mailto:app_rpt-users@allstarlink.org">app_rpt-users@allstarlink.org</a> will appear on the <br>archive <br><<a href="http://lists.allstarlink.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users" target="_blank">http://lists.allstarlink.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users</a>><br><br>A message posted to <a ymailto="mailto:app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org" href="mailto:app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org">app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org</a> will also appear on the <br>archive <br><<a href="http://lists.allstarlink.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users" target="_blank">http://lists.allstarlink.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users</a>><br><br>The archive on <<a href="http://ohnosec.org/pipermail/app_rpt-users/" target="_blank">http://ohnosec.org/pipermail/app_rpt-users/</a>> will not be <br>updated by any posts.<br><br>The main website allstarlink.org is being rewritten. It is a slow <br>tedious project. Great attention is being paid to the look, feel and <br>consistency. As with all thing ASL, the source will be archived and <br>available.<br><br>The next thing to move will be the Drupal (Knowledge Base) We may move <br>this to a wiki or some other form that lends itself better to being <br>updated by the community.<br><br>I have copied the source code repository from SVN to github. This is the <br>complete source code repository with history. Any changes to the <br>official source code will happen on github. Moving from SVN to git will <br>allow more people to contribute ideas and fixes in the future.<br>The github repository is at <<a href="https://github.com/AllStarLink" target="_blank">https://github.com/AllStarLink</a>> There are <br>of course off site backups done daily.<br><br>A small group of professionals are starting to review the code. The <br>first step will be to add comments and documentation. We need a better <br>base of information to carry this forward. LOTS more on this to come.<br><br>A not for profit organization has been created. For the first year, we <br>are keeping the directors to a minimum. I do not want a large unwieldy <br>group trying to manage things. I do not want to have to try to "turn a <br>battle ship" just to get something done. AllStarLink Inc. will hold the <br>domain name, pay for server space and handle any other administrative <br>tasks that are needed.<br><br>More to follow...<br><br>73, Steve N4IRS<br><br>-- <br>"Real programmers use vi, that's why I use nano"<br>_______________________________________________<br>App_rpt-users mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:App_rpt-users@lists.allstarlink.org" href="mailto:App_rpt-users@lists.allstarlink.org">App_rpt-users@lists.allstarlink.org</a><br><a href="http://lists.allstarlink.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users" target="_blank">http://lists.allstarlink.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users</a><br><br>To unsubscribe from this list please visit <a href="http://lists.allstarlink.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users" target="_blank">http://lists.allstarlink.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users </a>and scroll down to the bottom of the page.
