Hey Mozillians,
Hope you all are in track with the planning of Mozilla India website revamp
[
http://mozillaindia.org/blog/we-need-your-help-re-designing-mozilla-india-website].
So, here's the call to discuss what's your opinion about it. Feel free to
add suggestions, you think that will make Mozilla-India site's new face
even more cuddly adorable.
Now that being the higher-level plan - we also need to decide upon the
lower-level infrastructure that will power up the system - the web hosting,
at large. As it has been mentioned in the blog, we have decided to rely
upon Mozilla for sponsoring the domain-hosting of our community site. With
that been said, we will need to confirm the specific hardware/platform
requirement to make the appeal. Here's the specification we'll be pitching
to get:
- Managed VPS with static IP address
- Linux System with remote (secure) shell access
- Flexibility to chose database, unlimited.
- System with 2GHz Processor, 2GB RAM
- Available Storage 50GB, unlimited in/outbound bandwidth.
This spec is able enough to serve the new Drupal-site for more than 1000
users on daily basis, plus serving the apps, adblock-plus local filters
etc. If you have queries or comments on this, please share.
On another note, developers rejoice! We are going for a full-frontal
open-source development project with the redesign of Mozilla India. Even
though FOSS-development was intended before, it was a bit technically
challenging to set-up the system. But now we will be using GitHub for
managing the code-base (repo), so contributing to it now will be easier
than you think!
As a Mozillian of our community, we therefore ask you for the consideration
on this entire planning-process - as you can already imagine how huge it
will be, we need support & enthusiasm from each one of you.
We will keep you updated on this, in the meantime keep up spreading the
Mozilla awesomeness... Thanks!
