Marcin Cieslak (saper) which was at Wikimania 2009 and
he's excited
about helping set up our OSM system on the ptolemy and ortelius
servers (see
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2009-September/045131.html).
He wants to help set up the database / tile rendering aspect (which is
pretty much all we're doing).
Here are his details as required for server admins:
* Name: Marcin Cieślak
* Email: Marcin Cieslak <saper(a)saper.info>
* Address: [CUT OUT]
And he's agreed to follow our privacy policy:
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_policy
(not that there are any actual privacy concerns, these servers don't
have any access to private data as explained in the wikitech-l
posting)
If you approve I'll take care of setting up his accounts on those servers.
Mark gave the OK. I've created the user saper on both boxes. Marcin,
you should be able to:
ssh
ptolemy.esams.wikimedia.org
ssh
ortelius.esams.wikimedia.org
Here's the notes I kept when setting up Cassini:
https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/OpenStreetMap_server/Setup_notes
It would be very helpful if you continued updating that wiki page (or
related pages) with the stuff you do.
Open issues on the servers that need to be solved:
* They need to be partitioned. There's some empty space on /dev/sd*
that hasn't been partitioned (> 1TB)
* Evidently hardy's kernel doesn't like the RAID card on these boxes.
So the kernel needs to be upgraded, probably to jaunty-server
Have fun!
