OPF Infrastructure

The Open Planets Foundation has:

• A main website, http://www.openplanetsfoundation.org/
• Newsletters (powered by MailChimp)
• The Atlassian Suite (on *.opf-labs.org), e.g. http://crowd.opf-labs.org/crowd/
• The github.com source code repositories.

Possible changes:

• Unified authentication.
  • Requires single domain for cookie validity. *.openplanets.org?
  • Could just use the Crowd module for Drupal, and this will reduce the three accounts to two.
    • Crowd also supports other things, see e.g http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CROWD/Supported+Applications+and+Directories and https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/wiki/display/JAAS/Crowd+JAAS+Login+Module
  • Ideally, set up LDAP properly, and validate all against it. Would work for servers, SCP, etc as well as web resources.
    • http://phpldapadmin.sourceforge.net/wiki/
    • Drupal: http://drupal.org/project/ldap_integration, http://drupal.org/project/ldap_provisioning, http://drupal.org/node/396574, http://drupal.org/project/extended_ldapgroups
• Mailing lists.
  • Use MailMan for traditional mailing lists.
  • Use Drupal Organic Groups to set up mailing lists (http://drupal.org/project/og_mailinglist) for hosted Special Interest Groups, groups.openplanets.org ?
