Email & Google Apps

We have a handful of @wordpress.org email addresses set up as forwards. For the teams that need an official email address and a supportpress/supportflow setup, we have been doing addresses on wordcamp.org (which has mailboxes) or setting up one-off gmail addresses to handle the mailbox, the owner of which might get lost over time. I talked to Barry at the team meetupMeetup All local/regional gatherings that are officially a part of the WordPress world but are not WordCamps are organized through https://www.meetup.com/. A meetup is typically a chance for local WordPress users to get together and share new ideas and seek help from one another. Searching for ‘WordPress’ on meetup.com will help you find options in your area. days at WCSF about this and he said we should put wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ on gmail for email. Matt said this was okay.

I’ve reclaimed the Foundation account for google apps for non-profits (a WC organizer had used the tax id to claim it without asking first, so we had to jump through some hoops). I’ve set up the account and gone through the steps with Ashish Shukla to have it recognize wordpress.org as the domain. The next step would be to modify the MX record to start routing email through the google apps account, but that gets complicated when it comes to ensuring no disruption to existing forwards, which is why Ashish and I were waiting for Barry to be available. When I spoke to Barry today, he said that @nacin is doing something around email too, so now he’s not super comfortable making changes at all lest we inadvertently step on each others’ toes.

@nacin: what is the thing you are doing with email, and does it preclude a shift to having actual mailboxes that are official? Let’s coordinate with whomever else is working on this to make sure everyone’s needs are met. I’m happy to share the google credentials with the appropriate people to get it going. We also get stuff like official hangouts the teams can use, calendar, etc. as part of the google apps account. If there’s a reason *not* to take Barry’s advice about using google apps/gmail for the team emails, I can remove wordpress.org from the google account (if so, please explain).

The community team changed their irc channel a while back but we forgot to update the logging. Can we please add #wordpress-getinvolved to the https://irclogs.wordpress.org/ ? #wordpress-contribute could be removed. Thanks!

jobs wordpress net is down shows on…

jobs.wordpress.net is down, shows “on hiatus,” and I can’t find any news about it. People use that site and think the disappearance is an attempt by Automattic to drive people to Code Poet instead. Since Matt didn’t know it was down until people started telling him last night, clearly that’s not the case. Barry said he thinks Nacin took it down for a security thing.

1. Who took it down?
2. No need to go into security issues specifically, but was that why?
3. When can it be back up?
4. In the meantime, can “on hiatus” be changed to something like “We’re fixing some stuff, we’ll be back in a few days” or whatever, so people will stop assuming the worst?

@barry, @stankea, etc: Otto has the only ftp creds for wp10.wordpress.net, and others need to be able to change images in the theme folder etc. Can you create another ftp account for me, and David and George and I will just share it?

Need this to send out wp10 uploading instructions to all the parties around the world (Australia etc 27th is today not tomorrow), so need access relatively urgently. Thanks, and sorry to interrupt your weekend.

WP10 Site

Hi all. We need a wp install set up at wp10.wordpress.net for the 10th anniversary parties site. Matt would like it there rather than on .org, but @otto42 doesn’t have access there. Can someone set it up and make me an admin? Thanks.

Could you add #wordpress-contribute to the irc logging setup? It’s a new channel we’ll be using for welcoming/instructing new contributors. Thanks!

Hey @barry and @stankea. Can you set up an email address (not a box, just an alias) of meetups@wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ and have it forward to me at jane@automattic.com? At some point we’ll probably want to set up a supportpress instance or something, but for now I just need an active address to satisfy the meetup.com contract. Thanks.
