[!AltME] Discussion about AltME

I thought the AltME core servers are still operated by a another 
entity ...

The name server was supposed to be distributed over the world, but 
once when it was down it turned out that it runs on one DSL line

Not privy to this information so speculation
as I recall .... Reichart used to host the servers ... but that changed
So, we do have a single point of failure here...and no recovery plan
Kaj

Yup

Are there no paying customers for AltME left?
Kaj

[5482]
Were there ever?
GrahamC

There may well be but does that change things?
We've been bitten by closed source Rebol and we rely on closed source 
altme :(

Kaj: no idea.

Yup again

IRC lacks a good history
and threads

AltME "customers" would make a difference in the kind of pressure 
exerted when the name server goes down vs when "just" the REBOL3 
world goes down.

We are paying customers for SDk ... but have no special access
Kaj

Do you know of anyone who has been able to pressure RT?
Andreas
16-Feb-2012
[5492x2]
Personally, no.
But I got the impression that the last R2 release (2.7.8 in Jan 2011) 
was due to such external pressure.
GrahamC

Yes, Jaime was able once upon a time
Kaj

Better call him back, then :-)

no callbacks

Finding one of the supposed "source escrow" customers would also 
be a worthy thing :)
GrahamC

Anyone have a proposal for a backup plan ...??
Kaj
16-Feb-2012
[5499]
The option was said to be available. Doesn't mean anyone took it
GrahamC

We could ask AMD ...they used iOS at one stage
Anyway something to think about ....
Guess Qtask is an alternative but also closed source

To get the WNS to refresh, the world must be started from the GUI, 
not via the CLI.

Where are you ? I have read about REBOL4 world. Who I should ask 
for an access ?
Pekr

[5508x2]
Giuseppe - yes, we have moved, as this world went down, and was down 
fore few days, with no sign, when it will be back online ...
Today the whole altme.com DNS server went down, so all Altme worlds 
around the globe went down (not exactly like that, but close)

Pekr, how do I enter Rebol4 ?

I asked Henrik to provide you with the account
In fact - he took last 100 ppl logging here or so, and sent them 
an invite.
Do you have actual email addresshere?
GiuseppeC

Giuseppe - I can see you have an account there, and that you never 
logged in. So - check your email  ...
maybe it went into a spam folder?
Try: REBOL4, GiuseppeC, 1234
ah, this is the web-public group, so if your login works there, please 
change your password asap ....

Hi everybody, may I get a ticket to enter REBOL 4 world please. I
