Staff Meeting Summary for November 5, 2011

[navaho]

I certainly don't see the need for an "after disaster report"....we had RAID fail and didn't have a separate backup for the character/user account table but everything else on Liberator was safe.

No, you had a process failure.

[speedfire]

No, you had a process failure.

That surely was a process failure. Luckily no data has been lost but some kind of hardware failure could occure again and should be adressed so that it will not happen on production servers. And there should be a report with the failure, the consequences and taken actions.
The fact is this is an open source project and industrial processed can not be applied as it was a company run project. People are spending their spare time on this project and can not apply all the rigorous processes that are used in the industry. And dev software experimented people will agree with me that even in compagnies, heavy process can be a total failure if they are not correctly applied and managed by process specialists.
I m not telling you that open source projects are low quality softwares but that quality is reached through other ways (swgemu has far a better software architecture than the official one, just wait for its power to be unleashed). Just my two cents.

[DarksideTarq]

This is excellent news. Kudos to everyone involved. Thanks for all the hard work!

TAF you quoted me wrong in the OP (second one) so it makes no sense lol/

Correeeected.

Sorry Uli.....I need to review my copy/paste better

[Kamara]

I have a question.... So does this mean they are setting up a lib server for the community to play with and a community dev team to work on bugs on it? Or have i misread this? If so, does that mean the current lib will be transfered there, andbe active for quite a while?

I understand part of Jaddynn's concern here. CyTec's (our guild) leadership is partly pulled between Nova and Lib. While we want to remain in touch with the community of players there are many of us that also want to help push this project further along by remaining available for testing if "needed". So in a nutshell how would this divide affect those that want to be apart of both?

It should have very little to no effect, anyone will be able to post on devs forums or help test on TC: Nova. Point was to separate play server (Liberator) talk from development (TC: Nova) talk.

Ah good to hear! Thank you Vlada
