Trying to post future proposals....server down on website?

[Esteban Gil]

I'm trying to put the proposals on the website for sunday but I get this error message when i try to edit: Error establishing a database connection

This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the database server at flanagan.fatcowmysql.com. This could mean your host's database server is down.

• Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
• Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
• Are you sure that the database server is running?

The proposals thus far submitted (in order) are:

1.

What:

 The General Assembly to make a statement

How: 

Occupy Pasadena (General Assembly)agrees that any inquiries from government agencies, including law enforcement, about our organization, or regarding our operational plans, are directed to our website. We strive for transparency and open communications.  Any possible future direct communication with the police will only happen if consented to by the General Assembly, in the manner it chooses.

Why:

To have a policy in place for dealing with inquiries from police or government agencies who wish to know about our activities.

i.  Occupy Pasadena, General Assembly, members are encouraged to not speak to the media or police or any other agency outside of OPGA in relation to any actions OPGA may take or participate in, as a group, during the week of the Tournament of Roses in Pasadena.

ii.  This will not be binding on individuals and will in no way hinder individuals right to free speech on activities they participate in, as individuals, outside of OPGA.  

iii.  All media sites maintained by OPGA including, but not limited to occupypasadena.org, Occupy Pasadena (General Assembly) Facebook page and OPGA Google Groups will not post advance information on our actions for the week of the Tournment of Roses.

iv.  This will not violate our desire for transparency but only narrows the distribution of information for limited activities and time frame.  OPGA members will always be able to access information to activities.

Why?

i.  During the week of the Tournament of Roses in Pasadena, police and other agencies are on heightened alert for activities that may disrupt the various renues. Any advance warning they may receive of actions OPGA plans could be detremental to the activity.

ii.  Members of OPGA have already been approached by media concerning the ornanization, Occupyroseparade.org, which is not affiliated with OPGA in any way. We can expect this interest to contniue and become more frequent as the last week of December approaches.

How?

i.  Activities proposed,or planned, for the week of the Tournament of Roses, will be discussed within groups and during the General Assembly rather then posted on aformentioned media.

ii.  At any time, either by group concensus or committee decision, an activity may be exempted from this proposal.  It is merely a guideline.

iii. If a member is approached by a law enforcement agency or media, they should notify a member of the communications committee so it may be noted.

The server is dragging badly.  I have another site and it's slow also.  This can cause a connection error with the database.  I'll put in a request for support to see what's up as well as have them check out the database to see if there are any errors going on that need looking into.

okey-dokie.  Let me know if you'd like me to re-try putting up these future proposals latter, or if you do it yourself, please just go for it!

I was able to post to my other website although it was slow.  You might try again.  Can't do it atm.. will keep watch on messages from support.

I removed some plugins and it seems faster now.
