Migrating to Community-driven Infrastructure

Contents

Introduction

As of January, 18th 2013 the *.maemo.org infrastructure has been completely migrated to new locations independant of Nokia servers. Talk.maemo.org forum been integrated with the other infra. Handing over control to community still pending, right now it's still Nemein and affiliates to control that infra.

This page is intended as a central place where status and other operational information can be gathered.

Inventory (obsolete, please update)

As a first step we try to gather information about the present infrastructure at *.maemo.org and *.meego.com. This "inventory" is intended to provide an overview about all components of the infrastructure as well as to provide information that will later on aid during the actual migration.

Currently the following topics are considered important for the migration:

  • Legal Issues (Names, Trademarks, Domain Names, etc.)
  • Infrastructure (Web Site, Forum, Wiki, Autobuilder + MeeGo OBS, Mailinglists, Garage, etc.)
  • Steering (How do we want to organize ourselves? However, please keep this thread on technical details and discuss political issues in a distinct thread at talk.maemo.org.)


Legal Issues

What is the state about the name "Maemo"?

"... Maemo is currently a registered trademark of Nokia and the domain name is owned by Nokia. Our previous request to transfer the domain name was denied - I don't expect that to change. We have "maemocommunity.org" as a backup. ..." http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1226264&postcount=8

Negotiations about domain ownership still ongoing between Hildon Foundation board and Nokia (2013-01-20), if community can't get control over the DNS, we might need a CNAME to some alternative domain hat we are in control of.

What is needed for the community to run maemo.org?

TMO forums donated to Hildon Foundation: http://maemo.org/community/board/tmo_forums_donated_to_hildon_foundation/

What are possible legal issues?
What are the costs?

According to the Hildon Foundation it will take $1000 US per month MINIMUM to ensure all of the infrastructure, including professional maintenance, is retained. This is a ballpark figure to give an idea what we're talking about. This being said, if two hundred users are willing to donate $5 per month on a regular basis, we would be able to continue providing the current maemo.org infrastructure.

If you're willing to donate, please visit http://hildonfoundation.org/support/

What about the personal information of the users?

It been evaluated that there's no particularly sensitive personalized user info in anything *.maemo.org. General best practice regarding warranty of maximum protection of privacy for mails, mail addresses, other similar data will apply. No data will get disclosed to any third party. No spam mails get sent by those who are in charge of *.maemo.org maintenance. Also basically there's no change in entity running all the services, it's rather a change in board of directors.

Nothing to worry about for the normal user. If you want info about what's the data stored about you inside *maemo.org, or want this data / your account getting permanently deleted, please contact council@maemo.org
