+ | Policies: | ||
+ | * The host of the sf-lug web site is a Linux machine or virtual machine | ||
+ | dedicated to running the sf-lug web site only. A " | ||
+ | refer to another VM running on the same physical host as that which | ||
+ | supports the sf-lug web site. | ||
+ | * the sf-lug web site itself should be static, with no interactive | ||
+ | software, for ease of maintenance and security; it is essentially an | ||
+ | internet-accessible yellow page style advertisement. | ||
+ | * The sf-lug web site can include links to interactive web pages, | ||
+ | although properly such interactive pages should be hosted on some | ||
+ | different host other than that which hosts the sf-lug web site (for | ||
+ | easy maintenance and security). | ||
+ | * the sf-lug web site host should be open to sf-lug supporters for | ||
+ | whatever they want to try out. "Trust is efficient." | ||
+ | will alter work done by other users. We assume users will make mistakes, | ||
+ | even hork the host itself, and that users will use sudo rather than | ||
+ | the root account to make changes (exceptions to this include Michael | ||
+ | Paoli and Jim Stockford and whoever else can get Jim or Michael to | ||
+ | approve). Preferably users should experiment on a host other than that | ||
+ | which runs the sf-lug web site itself. | ||
+ | * Jim wishes to deprecate PHP on the host that supports the sf-lug web | ||
+ | site. Jim has no power to enforce this. Jim prefers shell scripts, C, | ||
+ | and Python. Jim's authority derives from his paying for domain name, | ||
+ | electrical power, bandwidth, and other costs. To the extent that | ||
+ | other people pay such costs, they derive authority. | ||
