Is this announcement an April Fool's trick or is this going to really happen:

[TuxFamily services soon to be moved to a revolutionary hostees-driven cloud-powered structure](http://www.tuxfamily.org/en/news/2013040100)

Thanks.

Your project was finally accepted. You will now have to require additional services such as web areas, databases, etc. Please refer to our FAQ in case you have a technical question: http://faq.tuxfamily.org/

Trac can be installed since our web architecture enables you to execute CGI-compatible Python programs; since you are not the first one trying to install Trac, you should normally find any Python dependency required for a standard Trac installation. Importing existing data should not be a problem at all.

Thanks.

I sent the new description, please feel free to modify it according to your policies if you consider it neccesary.


Regarding my original question: would it be OK for TuxFamily to host our Wiki and Bug Tracker software?
My goal is to install an instance of the Python powered Trac (http://trac.edgewall.org/) and then import our current ticket and wiki database there. Could that be possible?

Hi again Daniel,

I guess your project can be hosted at TuxFamily's then -- please post again its description along with its license using our panel and it should be accepted pretty quickly.

Oh, one more thing. Re-reading your question, i guess i didn't answered who am i. I'm an ex-student, colaborating with the project.

Hi Xavier.
Thank you very much for the answer.

"CEFyL" is an organization. Its name is the acronym of "Centro de Estudiantes de Filosofía y Letras". It is indeed an students organization. However, it is also an academic and institutional body of a faculty of the university of Buenos Aires.

"RadioCEFyL" belongs to CEFyL (not to a single student or an autonomous group), so it's not supposed to be dumped when me or any other person working on the project leaves for whatever the reason.

There's a lot i could tell about the iniciative regarding political positions, project's expectations, experiences, and the concepts and phenomenons behind it. But it would be large, probably tedious to read, and to be honest it's kinda hard for me to explain it in english (i speak spanish), so for this answer i prefer to just say that the case you mention is not supposed to happen. CEFyL trascends single students and this is not some personal project but sustained by a community. Try searching for CEFyL if you need to know more (most likely you'll find everything in spanish).
That said, if you need me to explain further, please ask whatever you need to know and i'll be glad to answer.

Here's a little history of the project (spanish, sorry), in the still working SourceForge's Trac instance: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/radioc … i/Historia


Thanks,
Daniel.

Hello,

Your project looks fine from a technical point of view, and its license is fine too (you will have to mention it in the panel description though).

However, there remains a point I do not really understand: you do maintain this application, but are you a student, a professor, a programmer employed by the University, or none of these? Actually, what we really worry about is the continued maintenance of this project: we do not aim at hosting projects dumped by their authors as soon as they are not students anymore.

I was about to create a new thread, but i think this one is exactly the same as mine, so i'll post here.



My name's Daniel, i'm from Argentina, and i'm a programmer working in a free software project for online radio.

The project's source code, wiki, and bug tracker, are currently hosted at SourceForge, here: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/radiocefyl


RadioCEFyL is the internet radio project for the student's guild (sorry about my english) in the Literarure and Philosophy Faculty of the University of Buenos Aires. The goal is to have an extremely easy way for anyone to stream audio over internet, and so far we got a centralized web site (radiocefyl.com.ar, hosted somewhere else), and our own cross-platform custom desktop streamer (Günther, wich is made in Python + QT4 and runs over LiquidSoap).
Whenever anyone in the world is transmiting using Günther, the transmission is automatically shown in radiocefyl.com.ar, along with a player (HTML5, with flash fallback), the transmission's URL for using it on any other player the user would prefer, and there's also a chat window conecting to Freenode so everyone listening or broadcasting could talk to each other.
All this is made absolutely free (as in freedom and free beer) and without any profit involved.

SourceForge is in the proccess of disabling what they call "hosted apps", and that means our current bug tracker and wiki are going to be lost. We handle both tools with a Trac instance. So, i'm looking for a free host where i could install our instance of Trac, wich is made on Python and uses a MySQL database.

Do you people at TuxFamily offer such a service?


Thanks,
Daniel.

Yes, you can :) You'll just need to release all contributions, documentations, every work done in a general way, on a free licence.
