Hi, and welcome to contribs.org!
So you want to learn about the contribs.org community? Good, you came to the right place :-)
About contribs.org
Contribs.org is an on-line community of volunteers and enthusiasts of the Koozali SME Server project. (See this link to learn more about Koozali SME Server). Just like you, we either use or want to use the Koozali SME Server (or help someone else with it). Or you simply (want to) sympathize with what we are doing here.
So to make you more acquainted (or you have forgotten ;-) ) with our community and how we operate, we'll explain a bit in the below paragraphs. Please read them at your own pace, and if you're stuck on a subject or have some questions then please don't hesitate to ask on the forums in our general discussion section. Over time, you will notice that you will get to know your way around here, and before you know it, you are helping others!
Again, welcome and enjoy!

Our infrastructure and tools
To be able to provide all the services mentioned here, we need some stuff. First of all, we need an infrastructure of hardware and on top of that all kinds of application.
Our hardware is located in Paris, France. So for all the services provided by contribs.org, the default Time Zone is Paris, France. It consists of a HA cluster of real and virtual servers (a mix of CentOS and SME Servers) and redundant internet connections. Obviously backup management is thoroughly implemented, and they do go off-site. Next to providing services that are visiable to you, there is some other interesting stuff going on behind the scenes. Most mentionable is our own build system with which we manage and build our updates and bugfixes and build updated RPM's and ISO's. A thing of beauty all by itself.
Next to our hardware infrastructure, obviously we have our applications. As for the applications we are using soley Open Source solutions:
- Mediawiki as our wiki
- Simple Machine Forums as our forums platform
- Bugzilla as our bug tracker platform
- Mailman as our Mailing Lists manager
- Pootle as our translation management platform
- SourceForge CVS as our source code and patch management platform
- Rsync to update our voluntarily download and updates mirrors.
- Freenode as our IRC channel provider (#SME_Server)
Our Infrastructure and applications 'Jedi', who co-designed, implemented, maintaining and leading all of this is Daniel and his team. All voluntarily in their free time and on a daily basis! Our setup is an impressive one, and a one that would make a large company pretty jealous :-) On a daily basis we process and serve tens of thousands requests on the forums and wiki within milliseconds per request.
