I'm pleased to tell you that the servers have been
deliverd and installed into
the racks. They are awaiting some more setup which should be finished in a week
or two.
My question to you is: what shall we call them? Our naming sheme revolves mostly
about plants, often poisenous ones. The names used for the current Toolserver
boxes can be seen at <https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Servers>, names used by
the foundation can be seen at <http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/Server_roles>.
There's the OSM toolserver, the DB server and the tile cache to be named. We
need suggestions BY FRIDAY. Note that the ultimate decision about the name will
be made by the server admins, based on nothing but their vim :)
Great to hear that they're going online, now we can finally start
testing this stuff for real.
Apparently I've been fooled into being one of these server admins for
the server, so this means some new tasks, but exciting ones:)
