The forum, Wiki, chat bridge, IRC, parts of the support system, installer mirrors, and website may experience downtime, while the store, ticket filing system, and support emails are expected to remain operational. An update reports that the key community infrastructure was moved successfully by June 11, 2020. ### Source excerpt The process of moving our end-user services to the ROCKPro64 cluster will be taking place in the coming days (5-10 June). I am not going to pretend like this is the best time for the move to be taking place, since it is not. Many users are relying on our infrastructure for information and community support, particular now that people are receiving their devices and many more are waiting for their units to ship. But things are what they are, and we have a strict deadline we need to adhere to. In practice, this means that at different times during this move key parts of the infrastructure will be down. This includes: the forum, the Wiki, the chats bridge and IRC, portions of the support system, PINE Installer mirrors as well as this website. It is not possible for me to say with certainty when exactly each of these community-facing services will be moved nor how long it will be down for. Obviously we'll aim to complete the process as quickly and painlessly as possible but unpredictable things can, and likely will, happen. I'll do my best to give you a heads-up when portions of the system are scheduled to go down for maintenance on Twitter and Mastodon. I'll also issue notices in the news section of the forums. Lastly, I'd like to note that the PINE store and ticket filing system, as well as our info and support emails will remain operational though the entire server move. Thank you in advance for your patience. [edit June 11, 2020] All key community based infrastructure has now been moved to the cluster. Moreover, the move went went surprisingly well and without any major hiccup. In the coming weeks and months we'll be adding more services to the cluster. I have already spoken to FireTwoOneNine about writing a short blog post about the cluster, its present utilization and future applications in the project. Lastly, I'd like to thank all those who offered advise and were directly involved in this project. ## Forum Update DevFeed: [Forum Update]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2019-05-22T00:00:00Z Content type: release Language: en Sources: [Community blog on PINE64]() Topics: [Pine64](), [Usability](), [Discord](), [IRC](), [Wiki]() Tags: [community](), [feature](), [forum](), [gdpr](), [pine64](), [update](), [usability]() ### AI overview PINE64 announces a forum upgrade scheduled for the end of May, with possible downtime of a couple of hours. The update addresses GDPR compliance, simplifies the layout, adds links to community resources, and introduces alerts for thread responses, quotes, ratings, and subscribed threads. ### Source excerpt The forum update is scheduled to go live at the end of May (likely over the weekend May 25-26th). You can expect the forum to be down for a couple of hours as work is being carried out. We hope that the process will be relatively painless, but if unexpected issues arise then this will extend the downtime. The forum upgrade is a part of our ongoing process of improving PINE64 services, which you can expect to carry over to the month of June with future updates to the Wiki and the chats. Updating the forum is something that has been on our bucket list for a long time, but there have always been multiple other more pressing things that have taken priority. Frankly speaking, not much though has been given to the state of the forum, its structure and usability until earlier this year. The server move this month has given us the opportunity to update, change and most importantly improve all the PINE64 community services; the webpage was the first to receive an update and now its the forum's turn for a make-over. GDPR Compliance The current forum is in need of more than quality-of-life improvements - more specifically, we need to make the forum complient with regulation (GDPR). On your first login you will be presented with the privacy policy, which you need to accept before proceeding to using the forum services as per usual. Scroll to the bottom of the policy and click accept. Accepting the privacy policy (identical to the one on this website) is required for both new and existing members and applies to everyone, including moderators and developers. New Look and Feel The general layout of the forum has been simplified and designed to expose the bits and pieces that regular and new users access frequently. The side tab has quick access to the PINE64 chats - the Discord and IRC Webchat for the time being- while the top bar features links to the Wiki, this News blog, Forum Portal as well as other relevant information. At the bottom of the forum page you'll find a footer wit ## Let's Talk about Browser Applications (and Forums and Discourse) DevFeed: [Let's Talk about Browser Applications (and Forums and Discourse)]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2013-07-31T00:00:00Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [Robin Ward]() Topics: [browser](), [mvc](), [Software](), [client]() Tags: [browser](), [forum](), [mvc](), [presentation](), [software](), [video]() ### AI overview A video presentation about browser applications, with an introductory discussion of Discourse and forum software and a focus on client-side MVC. ### Source excerpt Back in February, I gave a presentation on Discourse and client side MVC at TechTalksTO. It wasn't recorded, but I've taken the liberty of creating a video version of the presentation with an audio track. While the presentation is about Browser Applications, I take a large detour in the beginning to talk about Discourse and Forum software in general. Enjoy!
