h2. Infrastructure Details |
...
h3. Foresightlinux.org
Foresightlinux.org (and foresightlinux.com) are currently hosted by António Meireles, with a dedicated domU that hosts almost all of the infrastructure as a dom0 on the server.
As of June 2009, foresightlinux.org runs in a WordPress CMS. Foresight was deployed on a Django CMS until March of 2008, but was moved to static html pages to stability problems. During the summer of 2008, several CMS systems were evaluated but progress stalled. The evaluations were rebooted during April and May of 2009, and in June of 2009, the content from the static html pages were moved to the new WordPress setup.
Foresightlinux.org is managed through WordPress at [http://foresightlinux.org/wp-admin]
|
h3. JIRA and Confluence
|
| JIRA, is a bug tracking, issue tracking, and project management application used by Foresight. [JIRA|http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/], created by Atlassian, while propietary software, provides free and open source projects with a free license. A major benefit of JIRA is
it's
integration with Confluence, a wiki also created by Atlassian. |
| |
| Foresight's
[JIRA|http://issues.foresightlinux.org]and [Confluence|http://wiki.foresightlinux.org/dashboard.action]are
JIRA issue tracker, [FITS|http://issues.foresightlinux.org], and Confluence [wiki|http://wiki.foresightlinux.org/dashboard.action] are
managed on a dom0 hosted on the Foresight server.
|
| |
| To create account, create an accont in
JIRA,
FITS,
which can also be used to log in to the Confluence

five
six
projects: |

... h3. Planet
The Foresight Planet, a blog aggregator of Foresight users and developers is available at [http://planet.foresightlinux.org]. Foresight's planet is based on [Planet Venus|http://www.intertwingly.net/code/venus/docs/installation.html] and is deployed using an [Xen appliance|http://www.rpath.org/rbuilder/project/planetoforesight/] on ken/elliot/gxti/smithj's dom0. Foresight's planet project is [http://www.rpath.org/rbuilder/project/planetoforesight/].
h3. Forums
|
Foresight's forums were deployed in spring of 2008 based on a SMF appliance. Foresight SMF appliance project is located at [http://www.rpath.org/rbuilder/project/foresight-infra/].
|
| h3.
Blogs |
There is a proposal to create a Wordpress-MU appliance for deployment. The primary purpose would be for a Foresight specific blog, promoting Foresight marketing, news, press releases, release announcements and possible the newsletter. |
...
A secondary use is as a perk for Foresight developers who want their blog hosted. Using a WP-MU appliance would allow this. The [WP-MU appliance on rBuilder|http://www.rpath.org/rbuilder/project/wp-mu/] has potential, but needs to be updated to the next release.
h3. Mercurial Repository
Foresight has a Mercurial repository available for Foresight specific projects at [http://hg.foresightlinux.org/hg]. This includes projects such as:
* Foresight User Guide
* Foresight LUG and conference presentations
* Security announces
* Foresight's GTK Theme
* Foresight's Anaconda installer
Developers are given access to the Mercurial server. See [community:Becoming a Developer] for more information.
h3. Mailing Lists
Mailing lists are currently hosted by rPath. It is possible that Foresight may need to host their own mailing lists at a future date. Google Groups are currently being explored as a viable alternative.
