server migration done

The migration to a new server is finally done. everything should be a lot faster and more stable now.

Yesterday we completed the migration to a new main application server. The new machine has 8 cores, 16GB RAM, 1,5TB usabel harddisk space and unlimited traffic. Together with our other servers for mail, backup, static content, API requests and other small sister sites, this should be enough juice for a few more month of growth.

I´m very sorry for the stability and performance problems in the last few weeks.

Have fun.

Servers Servers

As you noticed the openDesktop.org websites are very slow at the moment. We even had a complete server crash yesterday. I´m very sorry for the problems.

The reason is that our traffic is growing fast and our main server has a constant load of over 30. We really need a hardware upgrade.

I just ordered an additional server with 8 cores and 16GB RAM. I hope this will be enough for a few month. :-)

Starting to Blog

A lot of people asked me to start blogging. It seams many people are interested in news about the openDesktop.org network and the other community sites like KDE-Look.org, KDE-Apps.org, GNOME-Look.org or Xfce-Look.org. 

I´m not a big writer, so don´t expect long articles. :-)
