On July 30th we hold in Madrid a Morfeo Board face-to-face meeting. We discussed about current year objectives, organization and general strategies of the community. For more information, you can check the minutes (spanish only, sorry).

Doing some data mining we had obtained this curious statistics. They show the evolution in time of the number of monthly downloads registered in Morfeo Forge.

As you can see, results are pretty good. In last year, the number of downloads has been duplicated. Congratulations to you all!

Since last week the community has a new space for disemmination purposes: Morfeo Geeks.

Morfeo Geeks is a place under Morfeo Community where its members shares among them curiosities on technology and computing with a technical approach. There you can discuss about software development, computing systems, distributed algorithms, cutting edge hardware or anything else you consider interesting.

If you want to collaborate but you do not have an account, you can ask for it sending an email to apv at tid.es.

Updated: electric shutdown will be moved to 10/11/2008, as well as the system halt. Taking advantage of this, we will perform a migration from the current systems to a new high-availability architecture which means a full shutdown on Friday 10/10/2008 3:00 PM.

On Friday 10/10/2008 3:00 PM, the systems which provides the community services will be halted due to electric installation maintenance operations. We will take advantage of this to migrate our services from the current machines to a new high-availability architecture to provide a better service. This shutdown affects to the whole community services, including web sites, forge, repositories, mailing lists, and so on. These services will be available again at soon as we complete the migration process, probably on Tuesday 10/14/2008 8:00 AM.

Please, accept our apologies for the problems this shutdown may cause to you.

Yours sincerely,

System Administration Group
