Cassini is back up now thanks to the Toolserver admins, since it's inactive at the moment I'm going to set it up with a rendering stack that'll run until Wikimania, of course if the database server pops back up at the beginning of august we may actually have something production ready by that time.

So what I'm going to do with it (pending objections) is:

* Set up a Planet.osm -> Cassini mirror * Set up a multilingular PostGIS database (see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19668). This should take around 50GB of space from the 345G /sql partition * Set up mapnik 0.6 with a multilingular CGI export script, something like this: http://svn.openstreetmap.org/sites/tile.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/export * A corresponding mod_tile / renderd config: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Mod_tile * A squid in front of this all to take the load off apache/the export script

Then I'm going to set up a MediaWiki installation on my personal box which'll use these services via the SlippyMap plugin.

Here's an update on the server status from Daniel, looks like we won't be able to do anything with the servers until the end of the month. Cassini (the osm-toolserver) is also down for what looks like until the end of the month.

I'll be afk for almost all of august leading up to Wikimania so I the things I need before that time I'm just going to set up on my own somewhat more limited colo server.

Hi all

Jens just told me that we'll have to wait some more until the OSM boxes are up. There is currently no console access, so Jens can't set up the OS. This will have to wait until Mark is back, it seems. Mark is graduating, so we only have someone for emergencies at the colo. Any hardware setup has to wait until he is back, which will be  at the end of july.
