Volunteers!

We need volunteers!

For the moment: Website frontend is covered.

• We will need content mirrors, and helpers to administrate where needed.
• Community ambassadors, for both mod makers and mod users.

I need to check how much, but the KSP-CKAN has some hosting credits we can throw at medium-term (up to a year) hosting of mods. It's always been our plan to use them for this purpose as part of KSP-CKAN/CKAN#935, but obviously it makes sense for us to accelerate that now. I'm looking at getting the existing KS mods loaded into buckets ASAP to minimise user outages with the CKAN.

Longer-term I may be able to negotiate more permanent hosting sponsorship, but it depends upon how warm my contacts are and how much they play KSP. It would probably require that KS-Reborn be non-commercial (which seems likely), and may require a small "hosting provided by X". I'd estimate at least two weeks for such negotiations, and I can't guarantee their success.

That sounds good, at least while we get everything up and running.

Would you mind me adding you to what will be the "hosting" team for spacedock?

[StollD]

I will volunteer, definitly.

I have decent experience with HTML, CSS and Python, so I will be able to add features to the new site, when needed. I also have some administration skills, and my server has a traffic flatrate, even though the bandwidth might get limited. That could maybe get useful, in the future.

I have much free time, so if you need sth. I will see what I can do. 😃

[FrikFry]

I can volunteer to help out as well. I've got decent webdev experience and some server administration experience as well. Happy to help out wherever hands are needed.

@ThomasKerman, @FrikFry

I sent your invites.

[ProbusThrax]

I am willing to help monetarily. Hopefully I can cover a month each year if its not too much.

[GenPage]

Throwing myself out there as volunteer. I have ample system administration and development experience.

[bookt-jacob]

Can help with server admin, development, DB, and architecture. Let me know.

@phmayo What are the spec requirements for a content mirror?

Have to check, but I might be able to make a small vServer instance available quickly this week (and provide admin level access to the container), but it will definitely not be able to stand against a full-scale assault of mod-crazy Kerbals on its own.

We don't know yet. #2 is the go to point for mirroring.

On its own, KS sucked about about 20TB/month at its peak.

[FiiZzioN]

Sure, I'll see what I can do.

[Olympic1]

I volunteer. I've got experience with HTML and CSS and also some server administration. Ready to help 😄

[Vekseid]

@phmayo I could handle about half of that, or the entire thing for a short period.
