| netlabs.org needs a new webserver! (from http://www.os2news.com) |
| Dear community,
After around 6 years the current webserver of netlabs.org needs to get replaced. We prepared the switch to a new content management system this year and it was obvious that the performance provided by the server is no longer sufficient. A lot of things are happening on netlabs.org right now, projects like Voyager and the switch to Subversion and TRAC generate much more hits on the webpage, developers already run into performance problems for some of the services we provide. So it is time to switch, we need 2000 Euro to buy recent hardware (dualcore system, with enough RAM) and we need it now :) Our goal is to finish the migration till end of 2006. To get there we need your financial support! We are very grateful for all the sponsoring we get during the time of netlabs.org but we now need some additional money for the hardware. For sure we will provide something for your money: New website, including: - an easy to use interface for project administrators - up to date look and feel with XHTML & CSS - a new logo for netlabs.org - more content, like * integration of TRAC RSS feeds: see what is going on in the project * integration of mailinglist-postings - a server that will (hopefully) survive high load. The current webserver does not survive when we get some media attention, as it happened already with The Voyager Project. In mid-term we will also provide: - an easy way to register as contributor at netlabs.org - single sign-on for the wiki, edm2.com, TRAC, Subversion & project administration - automated news-system for announcing project updates We know that the current pages are not really fun anymore, lots of informations are missing and it is hard to find some projects. So the new server will be a big step ahead for the upcoming projects! You can contribute at Mensys, they provide a special item for our hardware: http://shop.mensys.nl/cgi-bin/db2www/mns_art2.d2w/report?catname=NetlabsServer&username=&i1=&o=&x=21:09:00&Search=NETLABS&C= 100% of the money will be sent to netlabs.org, there is no VAT on this item (even if the website states that). We also accept cheques, in worst case also Paypal. Please contact ktk[at]netlabs.org if you would like to contribute in that form! For sure we will inform on a regular base about the status!
