Обсуждение: Where should I be uploading advocacy stuff?
WWW, Since we're deprecating pgfoundry, where should I upload advocacy-related files? I'm talking about stuff like graphics, flyer designs, t-shirt designs, etc. Mostly binary files for which a Git repo doesn't seem suitable. The wiki doesn't work either; uploading a batch of files is painfully slow, and it's far too easy to orphan files and never find them again. Mostly it's just me, Treat, Selena and Napier who need to do this, so maybe FTP upload access is the answer. Anyway, let me know, because I want to post a bunch of 9.2 stuff in preparation for the release. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com

It is possible to have public redmine projects that aren't like that, although... I think you have to have a second instance. That is how we do it at CMD, we have a public, which is open to all and then a private for clients but they are separate instances. jD > > -- Command Prompt, Inc. - http://www.commandprompt.com/ PostgreSQL Support, Training, Professional Services and Development High Availability, Oracle Conversion, Postgres-XC @cmdpromptinc - 509-416-6579

We don't support that on our running instance. And it's not something likely to happen. -- Magnus HaganderMe: http://www.hagander.net/Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

Agreed on that part. > Mostly it's just me, Treat, Selena and Napier who need to do this, so > maybe FTP upload access is the answer. We do have a way to deal with it if all uploads comes from a single person (web on devos). But you're saying that's not enough, you need group permissions management? -- Magnus HaganderMe: http://www.hagander.net/Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

Or... http://www.postgresql.org/advocacy that is proxied to a public redmind (so we don't proliferate new urls)? jD

Given our experiences running this redmine, no, there is no way we're putting up a second instance, and certainly not a public one. -- Magnus HaganderMe: http://www.hagander.net/Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

Well, we're talking large binary files which don't version well, so the git repo would be pretty bloated. We'd also need to put a snapshot of the repo on FTP so that people could download individual files easily. It's possible that neither of those issues is prohibitive. > We do have a way to deal with it if all uploads comes from a single > person (web on devos).

It sounds like the easiest solution is : - new git repo for the graphics and materials, and - I synch them to my (new) ~jberkus developer page so that people can download them easily.

So I've created a new repository called "advocacy". I originally made a separate one called "graphics" as well, but I don't think we actually need two different ones. So please approve "advocacy" and reject "graphics". Thanks! -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com
