@cvvergara is experimenting with migrating mailing lists on our staging instance of discourse to see how the process works. I know @rhaubourg already expressed interest in moving over the QGIS-fr. Once we’ve done these tests, we’ll be ready to do that.
@cvvergara found this plugin mailman2discourse HOWTO migrate from mailman2 to discourse - support - Discourse Meta which she has installed on osgeo6. She is testing it out. If anyone has any advice on the matter, feel free to post on this topic
@cvvergara @robe also Italian community is interested to move to it, as soon as possible. Our server is out of life, new are getting backup of some mailing list we are interested to maintain.
It could be possible get private channels for the association board and members?
Yes discourse supports private channels. I’ve made you an admin, so if you want to experiment with making a category and a group, feel free to try.
So where is your mailing list?
We decided not to use mailman2discourse plugin.
Was failing, so we are going to use the following instructions:
Currently we are testing here:
A small mailing list (osgeolive-doc) and a medium size mailing list (sac) is been improted which took Done (00h 47min 37sec) for 16200 messages…
There are some issues we still need to figure out, because the messages from the trac tickets are incomplete.
Also we need to experiment on how to merge accounts, like if someone signed up with a different email from ldap account mail, it will show as different people.
Merging key personalities from OSGeo will be necessary.
Instructions for merging:
Also the merging needs to be done after all the (active) lists have been transferred to discourse.
The original archives will be kept.
We will try to do this transfer during a holiday. Because when this transfer is happening it shutdown discourse’s incoming and outgoing mails.
@rhaubourg
We imported qgis-fr-users
Maybe you want to check it out on how it looks.
Please don’t hesitate to mention any problem you might see.
Forgot to mention, its on staging its not yet on production.
Hi Régina and Vicky,
thanks a lot for this. I’m starting to play with the qgis-fr category with some advanced users. I already received very welcoming feedback.
I’ll keep you posted of my tests. I particularly will test the “mailing list” access to discourse. We have have those kind of users still on IRC that will keep on claiming for mailing lists. I’d like them to be happy.
Cheers
Régis
Okay just a note that the mailing list feature does not work on the staging server, just this production server since staging can’t receive incoming mails.
I mean the staging will send mail but can’t receive like this production one.
Also if you could encourage all the QGIS-fr folks to register here, that would be great. They should add any email addresses they use to send to their profile.
One thing @cvvergara observed when bringing over the data is that it brings over users with no matching email address as staged users. Since you were already registered, all your emails got mapped to your account. That would save us the pain of having to convert staged accounts to real accounts or merging accounts later.

AS usual gitea tarballs were taking up about 100GB of space.
However it has a whole 1TB dedicated to it and even deleting many of the
system snapshots I noticed only brought it to 400G available.
The rsync job to osgeo4 seemed to be stuck from last run, and I suspect
that hold, was preventing temp stuff from clearing.
OSGeo7 is due for a reboot so hopefully that will clear out some other
locked snapshots like the old dronie-server container I can't delete.

Hi Vicky,
I checked the staging server and the imported threads look really nice!
Users are mapped correctly, I can reply. So far so good!
qgis-fr-user is converted in production.
Please review.
Regards
It’s actually an attachment, not body, if I interpret the mail correctly. Why Trac sends mail as an attachment I don’t know
Are mailing list subscriptions somehow mapped to write access in categories? In the threads in QGIS-fr-user - OSGeo I do not have a Reply option.
Perfect !

Are you still having the same issue. Might have been blogged because we were in middle of import.
Okay I see the issue now. Yah it was because only people in the QGIS-fr-user group were allowed to reply. I might have put that in when I set it up. I just changed so everyone registered can post and reply. @rhaubourg feel free to change it back if that is an issue.
Our mailing list are here http://lists.gfoss.it/mailman/listinfo.
We need to keep only three mailing list (Gfoss is the public one, Consiglio is private for the board and Gfoss-soci is private for GFOSS association members)
Is it possible for you to grab the mboxes of that. @cvvergara can give you direction on that if you need it or can help out with that if she has access to the server. If you are ready to go we could just import and invite everyone in the list over to the new system. Or we could just mirror the lists for a bit until you are ready for a cut over.
Yes it is possible, we can use scp but I need to send our private key so it can be added to their server ssh service.
Will contact @lucadelu privaletly
