[pgrouting-users] Today in the discussion forum: demo down

[Jun Koike]

Hi lists,

I've restarted postgresql on the demonstration server, sorry for your
inconvenience. As I wrote in the forum, we also show this
demonstration and sometimes we have to restart postgresql. Of course
there are some reasons that postgresql freezes..one is server(?)'s
spec, Daniel and Anton know ;)

I think PSC will discuss where to host community infrastructure,
including demonstration,  at first. As Daniel says, it's problem that
core members have problem to maintain the server right now and it's
also problem for me. Actually I don't know when we can use OSGeo's
infra after the community ask to them(and how to ask), but at first I
think it's better to finding a new place/server to host, where core
members can maintain at least.

Best Regards,

Jun
