LoCo web service

[loco-contacts at lists.ubuntu.com]

Hi,

as you know (or should know :-) Canonical offers free hosting for loco
teams.

That hosting currently is done on my personal server. It'll migrate to
shared virtual hosting at linode.com in the not-too-distant future.

We plan to set up one shared host for teams with "normal" requirements,
not too different from the current setup except that my personal stuff
will not be on the system ;-) and a separate virtual server for every
LoCo which has "special" requirements. (That will include people who use
PHP.)

In order to plan that a bit better, I'd like to know if you (a) need a
PHP-enabled web server, or (b) would like to use any other Apache
extensions that might cause problems in a shared-hosting environment.


NB: In somewhat-related news, I had to change the default character set
on our MySQL 4.1 server to UTF-8 yesterday. Unfortunately the default
for tables still is Latin-1, and some clients don't tell the server
that they store utf8.

If you see problems (most likely, text from the database which looks
like they've been converted from Latin1 to UTF8 twice), tell me and I'll
fix it.

right to think is the right to express that thought without fear.
