RE: [drupal-devel] Drupal.org hardware
-----Original Message----- From: drupal-devel-bounces@drupal.org
We're already using 'drupal1' and 'drupaldb' (aka Sun-prise).
Gaah... "drupal1", "drupal2", "drupal3"... more imagination would be nice
One of the good parts of being a sysadmin instead of a network admin is that you can make funny hostnames (routers always have boring names). I once did the admin of a big entertainment company where the webservers were called "Huey, Dewey, and Louie", impossible to keep track of what host had what problem :-) But what about a poll on drupal on "call the beasts" contest. I mean we can come up with better names than drupal[1-9]! My suggestion goutte, tropfen and gota Is the poll module enabled on drupal?

This is possibly fun, but very much pointless. Lets allow those working on it to choose their names. If anyone is willing to put time into joining the team and helping the management guys in their tasks, then feel free to suggest different names. Otherwise leave them to choose what they feel comfortable for their work. Goba

Heh :) In my last work we had 'Smurfs' theme, so there was 'papa', 'brainy', 'gargamel' etc :) This theme was a good choise, because the names were easy to remember and there are many Smurfs so you won't run out of choises.

Poll would be nice too

Eh, what's that? Google isn't helpfull too... We need at least 4 names afaik :) I'd suggest 'atos', 'portos', 'aramis' and 'dartagnan', but I'm not sure how's with extensibility...

Wait...am I the only one that didn't know what the word "genera" meant....

Static expands to fill the space alloted. I must say we'd be lost without our naming convention (good old fashioned hhg2g), but that's really only practical in a small team of folks that are dedicated to a hosting function. Naming conventions make for good shorthand when you can personify your hosts with "what, marvin's down *again*?!* But when you've got lots of hosts doing lots of functions, and/or you have multiple, transient volunteer administrators, numeric conventions are easier to learn and reference. It might be practical to extend that convention to all the drupal host functions though, database included. ( db1 or database1 rather than database). This has bitten us in the past.

Do you know that Midgard is the name of a high end open source free CMS too?

I love that discussion too. Basically, naming the machines after their function or hardware models is not a good practice. Machines get redeployed, upgraded, replaced, ...etc. There was a time when a machine called decvax or sun somewhere was not from DEC or Sun, but the name had to stay because it served in a network. I have seen planet names, star names, car names, as well as SsscccNNN (S + 2 letter state, + 3 letter city, plus number)...etc. I personally use fish names, since I used to do a lot of fishing. orca, shark, grouper, stingray, sohal, puffer. (Yes, Orca is not a fish, rather a mammal, but I needed a big thing, and whaleshark was not it). Again, I believe that the people doing the work are the ones who should decide what the names will be. If drupal1, 2, 3 makes it easy to locate the systems in the server racks, then so be it. The rest of us can continue to be arm chair sysadmins ... :-)

Yes, this is a real improvement. Finally we get some 'serious' work done. :-) -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/

I know you're joking - but I'm very much in favour of keeping the issues on drupal.org for a couple reasons: * i don't care about every patch ... i mean i do, but i'm swamped at it is, and I lose some interesting conversations in the noise * a lot of times folks will respond to an issue on the list only - which means it's not preserved in the thread on drupal.org * we already can get a pretty fine-grained RSS feed for any issue queue - which is sufficient for me I can actually keep up with drupal-devel now, and we can have more in depth future / planning / proposal kind of discussions - which I think are the kinds of things mailing lists are better suited for. -- James Walker :: http://walkah.net/
