[p2pu-dev] Tech call notes 2013-05-30

[Dirk Uys]

*Progress*

   - Upgraded linode running p2pu.org


   - Deployed latest changes to mechanicalmooc.org


   - we currently have just over 1200 signups!


   - API keys for AWS with credit set up, please inform DU & PS before using


   - Updated documentation for the Mechanical Mooc:
   https://github.com/p2pu/mechanical-mooc and
   https://github.com/p2pu/mechanical-mooc/wiki


   - Partner badge requirement will be deployed during the weekend


   - EP talked with Vanessa today and we can drop the requirement of
   feedback, revision flow as long as we implement requirement for the sample
   project on badge creation


   - Search for badges will go up today


*Priorities*

   - Implementation of feedback and suggestions


   - Course announcement opt-out


   - Homepage, we need to discuss what we want to do


   - we need better reflection on homepage about what we do


   - Badges


   - revise badge creation process to require that badge creator also
   create a project


   - Move discourse away from Heroku


   - Digital Ocean - $10


   - AWS Small Instance, 1 year provisioned, low utilization - $30 pm +
   bandwidth costs


   - for now lets defer the decision, both give you similar platform


   - target Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit Server Edition(LTS)


   - use ansible to setup discourse. https://github.com/p2pu/marvin


   - next steps: DU to send email to CE and PS summarizing the work and
   getting feedback on Digital Ocean & AWS

*Problems*

   - Help for the user which is not expressing very well what he would wish
   in English


   - DU suggested a French response for him


   - Discourse not possible on free Heroku!
