An "A" record has been added for 2003.foss4g.org pointing to the .219 telescience blade.

I have not made any other arrangements on the .219 blade myself.

Can you point me to the discussion about "FOSS4G 2003"? I seem to have missed this, and I notice this SAC ticket with this odd name of "FOSS4G 2003".

We have to be very careful with the use of the "FOSS4G" brand. The first event using the FOSS4G name was actually the FOSS4G Grass Event in 2004 in Thailand. There was also a GRASS meeting in Italy in 2003 - and you can see my point here I hope. In 2004 was the OSGIS event also. A lot of these events could try to claim the FOSS4G name, and then also a domain like 200x.foss4g.org We can't go there.

I am requesting that we not use the FOSS4G domain except for OSGeo FOSS4G events.

Since 2003 was assigned, please point:

2002.foss4g.org to http://www.ing.unitn.it/~grass/conferences/GRASS2002/

2004.foss4g.org to http://gisws.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/grass04/

(or remove the 2003 assignment).

comment:5 by Jeff McKenna, 14 years ago

yup agreed - but there are a lot of other previous events that could try to claim the FOSS4G name.

yuck, i'd prefer to stay away from this issue.

comment:6 by pramsey, 14 years ago

Sure, remove it. The content is on upload.osgeo.org, it'll just have to be invisible.

comment:7 by warmerdam, 14 years ago

I have created a new mum03.mapserver.org dns entry and pointed that at upload.osgeo.org and updated the apache config to point this at /osgeo/foss4g/mum2003-web.

I'll leave this ticket open for a few more hours till I can confirm this is working smoothly.

comment:8 by warmerdam, 14 years ago

2003.foss4g.org removed. Also updated the mapserver conferences links on trac.osgeo.org/mapserver to reference the new mum03 site.

Replying to warmerdam:

I have created a new mum03.mapserver.org dns entry and pointed that at upload.osgeo.org and updated the apache config to point this at /osgeo/foss4g/mum2003-web.

Ok, please also define:

grass2002.foss4g.org -> http://www.ing.unitn.it/~grass/conferences/GRASS2002/

grass2004.foss4g.org -> http://gisws.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/grass04/

comment:10 by pramsey, 14 years ago

It's mum03.mapserver.org now, not mum03.foss4g.org.

comment:11 by warmerdam, 14 years ago

Right, I'm hesitant to make new entries in the foss4g domain for non-foss4g conferences for fear of blow-back. That's why I put mum03 in the mapserver domain.

comment:12 by neteler, 14 years ago

Sorry, I was reading too quickly. Just ignore my request. So the ticket may the closed.

great thanks Frank. I confirm mum03.mapserver.org is working. (I think this is great, a place to host the past MUM archives...thanks for doing this) Also, thanks for updating the MapServer Conference page (http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/wiki/Conferences).

Not part of this ticket, but, I will contact danmo to see if we should also move MUM04/OSGIS to this host, and if so I will file a new ticket.

Marking as fixed (?)
