[UGMM] [admin-plug.org.au 6797] Re: Updating UGMM

[Timothy White]

So....

I poke my head in about once a year still and see how things are going.

Building packages is really very easy, as mentioned by Andrew. See
https://github.com/plugorgau/ugmm/releases/tag/0.5.2 for the first
"official GitHub" release.

I've added to the 'issues' a little bit this evening. Frankly, I'd love to
see UGMM rewritten on a framework like Symfony, with a simple DB as the
backend. It was a great idea to have SSO with LDAP, however it's more
trouble than it's worth. And with "Social Signin" being so easy, lets not
make people remember another password. And if we can't find your preferred
login method in (https://github.com/hwi/HWIOAuthBundle), then maybe you
need to come out from under a rock. The data in UGMM is better structured
to a database (that isn't LDAP), other than the user account part. Payments
in LDAP, what was I thinking!?!?

Also, regarding servers and AWS credits expiring. Other than our website,
and the video streaming we do, what are we using the servers for anymore?

   - Main website - Planning to move to Github
   - IRC? - Moved to Uniirc
   - Mailing lists
   - Mail
   - UGMM
   - Video Streaming (Icecast?)
   - DNS

Other than Video streaming, the rest would fit on a Digital Ocean droplet
for 5USD/month. Maybe Video Streaming should be a droplet we fireup when we
actually want to be streaming?

Happy to be part of the discussion and put some time in to moving things
forward. Really glad to see some new blood coming in and making changes,
moving things forward. It's a good thing for change, I welcome it!

And for anyone who doesn't know who I am. I'm Tim, long time PLUGer who
moved to QLD. I generally pay for the domain name when it comes up for
renewal as paying for a membership doesn't really get me anything anymore.
I still care about PLUG, just hard to be involved from QLD and with a young
family.

Regards

Tim
