[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Need access to web server space to hostlargeconference presentations

[Peters, Michael]

In the case of our site, someone would have to be willing to take the Wordpress installation, the MySQL databases associated, etc. if they were to be moved to evergreen-ils.org.  If you want to point to our conference site with DNS, that's of course no problem.

I don't know that we've discussed internally how long we would keep the site active.  I'm sure we don't want to continue to pay for the domain infinitely, but I know the information is important to preserve.

Sincerely, 
Michael Peters

As far as using subdomains for archived conference information, I personally think it may be overkill.  The information from previous conferences that is worth keeping publicly may as well live subfolders, like conference.evergreen-ils.org/2011, conference.evergreen-ils.org/2012, etc.  I think there would be less overhead with this approach.

To date most (all?) of the conference hosts have created and hosted their conference websites using using a variety of CMSs.   Whether a given CMS (or a static version of it) will play well in a subfolder no doubt also varies.  There is no particular cost to using subdomains -- it's easy to update DNS for evergreen-ils.org.

Galen
