Subject: [Act] TPC NA 2017 test site
Message-ID: <094438C0-D216-425F-A2B4-1BF278949CC5@cpanel.net>

Hi,

Please setup a test site for The Perl Conference in Alexandria, VA 2017. We have already setup a git repo for this at https://github.com/Act-Conferences/na2017 <https://github.com/Act-Conferences/na2017>

On spectre, can you setup actdocs and wwwdocs for the na2017 test website to point to /home/yapcna/na2017-test/actdocs and /home/yapcna/na2017-test/wwwdocs please?

Thanks,
Todd

P.S. FYI, For production, we will be using www.perlconference.us <http://www.perlconference.us/> and be setting up a CNAME to point to conferences.mongueurs.net <http://conferences.mongueurs.net/>. However we do not want this live yet.

Hi Todd,

in line off the preferred name changes, moving away from the old YAPC name and all moving to "The Perl Conference", I've discussed with S?bastien that we will also use different naming for repositories and the way they are being named on Spectre

The Perl Conference is going to be used as the global name, officially these conferences will be called:

The Perl Conference in <city_name>

It has a very strong preference no longer to refer to the regions or continents, so, there will not be a TPC::Europe or The European Perl Conference. And thus, neither will there be a North-American Perl Conference.

For the conference I am privileged to be the main organizer - and thus had to make some decisions about naming things, and discussed with various people, from TPF and YEF ... and for concerns off the name of repository:

tpc-2017-alexandria (instead of na2017 which refers to a continent)

hope this is still on a right moment to reconsider your request and rename the already created repo on github.



Theo

Heya

The act server is down. I've sent a message to Maddingue, and he replied:

It'll be a few hours before the site may be up again, in other words.

I confirm. Sorry for that. I should have migrated Act to phantom earlier.
We should have recent backups (from a few hours ago) of the database so
migrating should hopefully go with no data loss.

good luck with that!

and we are just lucky that it didn't happen two days ago during the London Perl Workshop

Speak to you soon

Good news, the last backup of the database was very recent:

-rw-r--r--  1 zzz   act  4586023 Dec  5 11:45 actdb
-rw-r--r--  1 root  act    99623 Dec  4 22:00 actdevdb
-rw-r--r--  1 root  act    72727 Dec  4 22:00 actdevwikidb
-rw-r--r--  1 root  act    24833 Dec  4 22:00 acttestdb
-rw-r--r--  1 zzz   act  7320460 Dec  5 11:45 actwikidb

I have imported back the dumps into phantom's database, and
updated some of the DNS records (still have a few to modify).

By modifying my /etc/hosts, I can navigate and login on the
FPW Act site. So once DNS changes have propagated, things
should go back to normal.

I don't see any particular reason the repo naming needs to be dictated. Can you clarify?

I think that's an overly rigid policy which has flaws. Next year's TPC in the US will be in Alexandria. How many people will see that and assume Greece? https://goo.gl/mdNdbK <https://goo.gl/mdNdbK> Also, what would you like to call the Perl Conference we'll be having in 2018 in Paris, TX? :P

As above I do not agree. We're already pressed for time.

S?bastien, I would appreciate it if we moved forward with getting na2017 online so we can proceed with our test development. As I stated before, we're not ready to go live so I don't follow why this discussion needs to block our development.

I notice http://test.mongueurs.net/ <http://test.mongueurs.net/> is down. Is it planned to be up any time soon?

Thanks,
Todd

Hi Todd and others,

it looks like the intention to get a better global attraction for 'The Perl Conference' as desired by more than just me alone, has not been picked up by you.

You can certainly name repositories however you like. Sure, you can hold on to the old names... na2017. S?bastien and I have decided to make the repo reflect the change in naming for TPC Amsterdam.

If you want to make a point of the names are having potential flaws, you could have been a bit more creative to go with the proposed change and could suggest to change it to
TPC Alexandria VA and in 2018 TPC Paris TX. Yes, I see here a problem that is a result of the early americans taking famous city names when founding the new land.

But again, you can name it however you want... as long as we no longer call it YAPC.

And I do not think that any of this will have had any impact on the work S?bastien is doing for us as organisers, but you may want to ask him yourself.

Greetings

Theo

I guess nobody will assume Greece, but some might assume Egypt:

Looks like the backend process stopped responding for an unknown
reason. I restarted everything and it seems to work.

As a reminder: everyone with an Act domain must update the corresponding
DNS record to point to "conferences.mongueurs.net." When there is a need
for an IP address (in case of a @ record, for example) use the new server
address, 195.154.71.196 (phantom.mongueurs.net). The following domains
still points to spectre:
- pghpw.org
- act.useperl.at
- conferences.yapcasia.org
- act.qa-hackathon.org
- www.perlworkshop.be
- social.yapcrussia.org
- www.dynamiclanguages.co.uk
- yapceurope.lv

Hi guys,

I will not take part of the discussion about naming convention now.

The test site is up: http://test.mongueurs.net/na2017/

I've added the branch master for the test site (the branch production
will be used for the production site).
I've created a new commit to change some of the "2016" into "2017" in
act.ini


We (mainly Sebastien) will soon setup a stronger server to ffix the
unstabilities of those weeks.
In the meantime, you'll have time to decide the name of the conference
for the production site ;-)

Kind Regards
Laurent

Hello all,


First, sorry, I know I should have made this mail earlier.

So, here is the current situation with regards to the Act server.
When spectre suddenly disappeared from the internets, we switched
over the remaining service to phantom, which has been prepared for
this since a few months. However, it appears that phantom is way
too light to handle all the services. As a result, Act is regularly
crashing, and I now keep a constant eye on the logs, and restart
it whenever it needs to (3-4 times each day). That's mostly for the
time being.

We have decided to rent a bigger server (12 CPU threads, 32 GB RAM),
with the following plan of actions:

- make it a host for VMs:
  - one VM for Act (Varnish, Apache + mod_perl, PostgreSQL)
  - one VM for the rest (static sites, SVN, Mailman)

- migrate Act ASAP to its dedicated VM
- migrate the rest of the services
- release phantom

Using VM (Qemu/KVM) will hopefully ease backup & moving the servers
to a new host, when needed.

Work has already begun. VMs are already installed. Thanks to a
friend, I've resolved a network issue I was having with NetFilter.
I am now preparing the Act VM to run Act (Apache 1.3, mod_perl 1.31,
Perl 5.8.9 or 5.12.4).
