Scheduled maintenance of Skunkworks server
Dear all, We would like to inform you of a scheduled maintenance operation on the skunkworks server today from around 3:00 pm and therefore there shall be an interruption of services during that time. The current server is in critical condition at the moment and we aren't sure how long it will take to fix it. We thank you for co-operation and look forward to a successful exercise. -- Regards, Eric Magutu

The current
server is in critical condition at the moment and we aren't sure how long it will take to fix it.
Why 3pm, I assume this is the time most guyz are heavy on mailing...most maintenance schedules are carried out at least around midnight but with the skunks which sleeps early in the night, some time from 8pm would have done. The downtime should be estimated for that matter.
We thank you for co-operation and look forward to a successful exercise.
We will have to co-operate most def. Thanks for your engagements in running the system though. My light comments, Chris_w. dabnix@gmail.com

After discussions with Magutu on this issue, it boils down to a hardware problem and this is best solved by buying a new server since the one currently in use is way past its life time and was never server grade hardware. Since this group exists with no external funding/income/sponsorship, it would be nice if we could come together and donate for the purchase of a server grade machine - which am sure can be supplied by one of us at a reasonable rate. This is a personal suggestion and in no means an official one, just thought it might go a long way and in future, we can even start offering mailing list services on this server. ./Ok3ch On Wed, Dec 9, 2009 at 10:28 AM, Chris W. <dabnix@gmail.com> wrote:

I propose Mpesa to Eric Magutu, but first it may be wise to source a server and look at the target, so that we make contributions with that in mind ./Ok3ch On Wed, Dec 9, 2009 at 10:51 AM, Moses <mosenetk@gmail.com> wrote:

@Oketch, You should be in contact with Evans, he had some nice re-furb servers and very reasonably priced. Let us know the shared amounts, we can try and match them. I have only one problem with the arrangement. Future mail list services? Does it mean the server will be used to offer commercial services? -- ( the rise of Yoda! Ready are you?

This was just to highlight that we can do more with this server - and not specifically commercial mail services. Another example would be a repository (cvs/git/etc) for developers. I think when it comes to this, we can all give suggestions and see whats best. ./Ok3ch

If the server contribution is within budget, I'm in. It can be useful to all devs etc. but strictly not for commercial purposes. In the meantime, can Evans Ikua let us know of server costs i.e if you want to do this with a re-furb machine. My opinion. :-) -- ( the rise of Yoda! Ready are you? What know you of ready?

Haiya, I'll start of the kitty @10k.

Murigi, I buy your idea. How many people do post here, we should be able to like contribute a a minimum of 500/- to whatever amount one feels philanthropic about. So if we have the volume and Alvin/Evans become nice, then we can have a server early next year. Its Christmas, guys the cheer of giving out. I will give 1k towards this. And if I get more I will top up later on. @Aki: That's good. Regards; James Muendo Leerick Office & Tech Supplies P.O Box 28016 - 00200 Nairobi,Kenya.

Haiya, mambo ni moto moto kabisa!!!!.............. Josiah, would you kindly do the spreadsheet? :-) Asante.
I can contribute KES 5,000 now, more in future if we do not have enough money to go for the server. I suggest somone should make a list on Google Docs, or whatever floats their boat, open source or not, and list the pledges there so that members can monitor the progress. Josiah/Phares or someone can lead on this. Or the list moderator.
Also people reuqesting for Google Waves in future should request with their pledge.

Maybe we need to move the Forum to another forum such as Facebook because it appears that when the server goes down it is not coming back up quickly. _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------ Skunkworks Rules http://my.co.ke/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94 ------------ Other services @ http://my.co.ke Other lists ------------- Announce: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks-announce Science: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/science kazi: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/kazi/general

Eric now thou speaketh.
I think if the server dies - we should be ready to ask Wash to make the arrangements immediately - but for sure, by tomorrow, we can ask Alvin to supply the hardware as he can see the pledges and know that we are honest people :-) ./Ok3ch On Wed, Dec 9, 2009 at 3:05 PM, Philip Musyoki <pmusyoki@gmail.com> wrote:

This might have been answered already. Why not use something like google groups? There are other lists like ke-internetusers, where do they host (Alex)? If all the server is doing is maintaining this list then is it worth purchasing a server? BTW: Top/Bottom posting would have really benefited this thread.

Hi, I would suggest that we leave our : 1.) Names: 2). Number : 3.) Pledge [or offer of contribution] To Phares or Josiah *Offlist*.... These two can reply with their Safcom numbers for us to Mpesa. Then both of them can compile a list and the totals.. When the time comes for action - the individuals that *forget *to MPESA or send contributions can be called. My 3 cents.

My 3 cents.
Bwana, not all of us are on Safcom!

The original purpose of having a server was to have a place for anyone with interesting projects to host their projects - especially those that could not afford hosting.
It also hosted the wiki and blog.
The mailing list was only moved to the skunkworks server this year.
It also hosts the security mailing list and a couple of others.

Mailman and mailing lists have their disadvantages and as the number grow, challenges increase and functionalities are limited. The other thing with mailing lists is that 80% of members are very quiet as they dont want to expose themselves so much. Thats why even if you call an Harambee in the list,not more than 40 will contribute unless it becomes compulsory to contribute to stay on the list which will also makes those who would rather stay away stay away. So the best thing is that lets move forward. Skunkworks started as a mailing list. Lets more to a website and register as a Think Tank and you never know we might just be determining the direction of ICT in Kenya. Lets look beyond and inspire our leaders /My unsolicited advice On Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 10:36 AM, Okechukwu <okechukwu@gmail.com> wrote:

I have just added a pledge of 2,000 from my household and I. I will also contribute 2 packets of House of Manji biscuits to the techies who spend an evening setting up the server config I also DEMAND that everybody who has pledged money donate a sticker to be stuck on the server. I have already acquired an "EX Matatu Driver" sticker so you guys and gals get other ones! We should stress that ANY contribution is welcome if you can drop 10k good for you. If you can drop 100 bob good for you too! On Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 3:28 PM, Eric Magutu <emagutu@gmail.com> wrote:

@Eric magutu, Washington had made an excellent suggestion that Kictanet Server can host the list temp, DNS needed forwarding. Possible? Thnks.

@Aki Its true... One time or another we consult and sort out our OT's here(Despite the new rules).How about we keep it going guys? I nominate we get a hold of Phares/Josiah and he can be the trustee to be given the money and make it happen after all the contributions.

I second this suggestion. Phares, Josiah? Will you do it? :-)))
I think we should first collect pledges then if its enough we start doing the collections to buy the machine. That way if we don't reach the target amount there isn't any issue of returning money to people. On Wed, Dec 9, 2009 at 2:11 PM, aki <aki275@googlemail.com> wrote:

Let the list admins generate a table of list members as was suggested by Murigi. We'll then append the amounts against our names. Anyway, what happens with the list while this is being organized? It's about 53minutes before the server goes down for maint:-) -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube

What say I? Will top up to 10K as we go along. Let us give list members a chance to do the necessary. We also get to know who is serious about building up this tech community whatever they can contribute in skills & cash - even 100bob is not too little. Aki, your 10K is my idea of an annual contribution that can be made in quarterly installments of 2K or 3K. Do not stress yourself out. We are together in this thing. Am also sure the Kenya ICT Board can also meet us half way. If we raise 150K, they can they not contribute 150K. This is the way to go to with developer events and education am already investing in. Let us budget 1K to 5K quarterly to make these happen. We will appreciate developers who volunteer to come and educate us on what they know and do best.

@Josiah, me thinks we should go for an entry level machine or pick a good re-furb. Costs will be a major factor. Infact, if other listers are unable to match contributions, then the best way forward is to go a desktop machine, with sata drives. It really depends on what you guys want to do. If your plan is a professional long term MC type of machine with large space, then there is not option but to go server. So far I can only count 2 or 3 contributers. Kwani, when it came time to pay, where did people go? I'd have thought this thread would have generated quite an interest in development of its own infrastructure. -- ( the rise of Yoda!

Just hope u guyz are not doing an annual 'email harvesting' 8-) !

The current server is in critical condition at the moment and we aren't sure how long it will take to fix it.
Why 3pm, I assume this is the time most guyz are heavy on mailing...most maintenance schedules are carried out at least around midnight but with the skunks which sleeps early in the night, some time from 8pm would have done. The downtime should be estimated for that matter.
We thank you for co-operation and look forward to a successful exercise.
We will have to co-operate most def. Thanks for your engagements in running the system though.

@Eric, many thnks for that headups.
"The current server is in critical condition at the moment and we aren't sure how long it will take to fix it.." ???
Is the list being taken down? What made the server to be in critical condition? Do you mean it has been neglected or not been updated? Essshhhh...
Sawa, good luck then. :-)

We can temporarily host the mailing list on the KICTANet server until a new server is found if you guys don't mind. I can organize for that if the DNS changes can be effected.
