This is my first time seeing anyone ask for this, so I’m not sure what’s achievable. If it’s possible and there’s a way to do it from my sandbox, I’m happy to help moderate these.

WordPress Foundation Trademarks Email + Zendesk

Currently WPF trademark emails are sent from trademarks@audrey.co, but that causes confusion since people expect them to come from the Foundation, and don’t know what Audrey is. @clickysteve would like to be able to send those emails from trademarks@wordpressfoundation.org instead, and Matt approved that.

I’m guessing that means we’ll need a full mailbox for trademarks@wordpressfoundation.org, and also a forward from that new mailbox to the existing trademarks@audrey.co address.

They use Zendesk, though, so I’m not sure exactly how that’s setup. It’s possible that it just spoofs the Sender headerHeader The header of your site is typically the first thing people will experience. The masthead or header art located across the top of your page is part of the look and feel of your website. It can influence a visitor’s opinion about your content and you/ your organization’s brand. It may also look different on different screen sizes. and relies on the SPF record to allow that, instead of authenticating via SMTP. It sounds like they just want it configured the same way that the other Zendesk accounts are.

Does that give you all the information you need to set it up?

Setup DoAction.org

We’d like to move doaction.org onto official infrastructure. WordPress.net is probably the best place.

  • When creating it, please set it to use PHP7.
  • We’ll also need SSHSSH Secure SHell - a protocol for securely connecting to a remote system in addition to or in place of a password. access for @coreymckrill, @hlashbrooke, and myself.
  • Hugh will need commit to https://meta.svn.wordpress.org/sites/trunk/doaction.org.

After it’s setup, we’ll migrate the code and content. Once that’s done, we can transfer the domain and change DNSDNS DNS is an acronym for Domain Name System - how you assign a human readable address to a website’s exact numeric coded location (ie. wordpress.org uses the actual IP address 198.143.164.252). to point to wp.net.

Thanks!
