Nabble view for OSGeo mailing lists

[EliL]

See emails below:

Hi Eli,

The Nabble lists are being transitioned to the OSGeo systems committee. They have a Trac instance set up for managing this kind of request at track.osgeo.org/osgeo (I think)

Jason

Jason,

Did you aggregate the OSGeo lists on nabble? If so, great job, I like how OSGeo.org is routinely in the 'what's cool' section on the nabble home page. No shame in being beat by R and Postgresql.

On the overview here, ​http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/ the Geomoose-users list does not show up. True, the list has only existed for a few hours. I was going to wait to see if nabble would query, ​http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo and update itself, but I noticed that pdal and other relatively new lists are not there either. Can you add the Geomoose-users list? Do you want me to edit this page, ​http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/SAC:Mailing_Lists , to also add you to cc for updating the OSGeo nabble view?

Thanks, Eli

FYI, Jason is no longer maintaining the Nabble archives. I have initiated the process of taking over the Nabble archives from Jason. Check the thread ​OSGeo archives at Nabble (Fwd: Re: Taking ownership) and other Nabble-titled threads in Sept and Oct.

Now, SAC needs to decide who to make the owner (either an individual or some sort of virtual account e.g. nabble@… with a couple of folks attached to it, so the ownership is maintained in future).

[EliL]

I see that this is very similar to (#813). My point is to change the list creation process such that all (or appropriate) new lists go into the nabble view. (Central and Eastern European conference list, Dutch, Philippines, GeoMoose, etc). I got Mateusz's comment and read the thread. Sounds like this is coming along. Thanks.

Hi thanks Eli for pointing us here from #813, I'm going to do this:

• add geomoose ML to the projects category

• add philippines ML to the LC category

If you think it's worth I'll ask on discuss for lists that want to be archived to fill a ticket for proper handling

Regarding CEE conference, I can't see other event lists at nabble, any pointer? Maybe was decided to not archive that kind of lits?

[EliL]

Jorge,

Glad to help. Thanks for taking care of geomoose and Philippines.

pdal and liblas could get added too (I asked hobu and mpg on irc)

• ​http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/pdal
• ​http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/liblas-devel

I think that it probably is worth a short discuss email, I'm sure that my memory failed to included everything.

I don't know if there was a previous decision on events, but now that you point it out, I also see that there aren't any others. I can see how event lists might be more for at the time coordination but not be searched that often. Perhaps that should go in the discuss email too?

[jsanz]

OK, libLAS and PDAL added also.

I'll write to the Discuss list on this topic so I think I can close this ticket and see how we deal with the CEE and other remaining lists at other tickets etc.

Of course, if you remember any other list don't hesitate to open a new ticket or drop a line to nabble [at] osgeo [dot] org and I'll take care ASAP.

[EliL]

Thanks a bunch.

I noticed that the new views only have activity since creation. They are lacking the archives. If needed, I can help researching how to do it.

as you know I created in September 2010 (for my love for Nabble and GeoMoose) a Nabble GeoMoose ml archive. I'm the administrator of this group and I can change the parent of it. Which parent Do I must choose? In any case, I am at your disposal.

Best regards,

Andrea

Hi Andrea,

Can you move the forum to the OSGeo data and software projects forum?(1) Then I'll remove the newest.

Thanks!!

Hi Eli, sorry for the delay,

Searching at the nabble support forum (there is not an specific FAQ for importing) seems that we have to provide them the lists mboxes somewhere to download and then they would import them for us.

So, can you please generate those dumps for:

liblas-devel
pdal
geomoose-users
dutch
philippines
madrid
barcelona
valencia
cantabria
es_norte

GeoMoose has archives back to 2007. Even having nabble archives since 2010 thanks to Andrea job, as soon as nabble import all the archives to the new one I think we can safely remove Andrea's one.

Thank Eli for your kind support!

Ok

let's wait to see if we can import all the history into the new one (to reduce the possibility of duplicates)

I'm not on SAC and don't think that I can readily access mbox dumps. I found a few ideas which are probably best to send on off-list.
