Report Back, Notes, Script and Audio (was Re: [consulting] Drupal Professionals Shop Conference Call

[John Sechrest]

Is there a reason that this marketplace.drupal.org can not be hosted
at the OSL facility at OSU like the current drupal.org hardware?

 % I've given this some more thought.  I do applaud the idea of having a  
 % market place, however, maintaining such a site is a significant  
 % amount of work and not something the current infrastructure team has  
 % time for.  Here are some of my conclusions:
 % 
 %    1. I do think we should use the domain marketplace.drupal.org.
 %    2. I don't think it is necessary to host it on drupal.org hardware.
 %    3. I do think we should prominently link to the drupal.org user  
 % profiles (and that we improve the drupal.org user profiles as  
 % necessary).
 % 
 % Personally, I think I'd happier if this was hosted and maintained by  
 % a separate team on different hardware as long we use the  
 % marketplace.drupal.org domain.
 % 
 % By doing so we avoid that the maintenance, upgrades and day-to-day  
 % operation of the site becomes a task of the infrastructure team.  At  
 % the same time, we have the power to turn off the subdomain if things  
 % fail which seems like an appropriate demand in exchange for making  
 % this the official Drupal market place and making it readily  
 % accessible from the drupal.org website.
