A HKDUG site to promote Drupal thanks to Acquia?

FYI, I've registered hkdug.info

Let's talk about what we can do!!

I'd like to see something like http://djangopeople.net for HK on hkdug.info - I think this is quite appropriate because HKDUG is a community of Drupalers living in HK so we should be promoting these people.

Just got approval email from Acquia. Now... how do we share access and keep this as open as possible, while maintaining security? (as in not allowing people to sabotage our site.)

Hello Nicholas,

Thank you for your application to the Free Acquia Hosting program. We are happy to inform you that Hong Kong Drupal user Group has been approved and we would like to get you up and running on Acquia Hosting in the near future. Acquia provides a shared hosting, high availability environment that is optimized for Drupal.

What your Free Hosting subscription includes:
-1 Slice of Acquia Hosting (500,000 page views / mo)
-100 GB of bandwidth
-150 GB of storage
-A functional staging environment
-Code and revision control via SVN
-nightly site backups

Acquia Hosting Constraints:
Acquia Hosting is built in around a shared high-availability cluster architecture. The nature of shared server environments is such that normal access to stack components must be constrained to preserve the integrity of the shared environment. For this reason, module/code management is handled only via SVN and command line access is not allowed. Public, private and import files directories are made available uploading and downloading files to them using scp or rsych. Logs may also be downloaded with scp from your site's designated log location.

Next Steps:
Before we can begin the process of migrating your site, there are a few more steps we must take:

Signed Free Acquia Hosting agreement. Within the next few weeks we will be sending you a copy of our Hosting Agreement for you to fill out and return.
Hosting kickoff phone call. Upon receipt of the completed agreement, an Acquia rep will contact you to set up an initial call. This kickoff call is meant to go over the logistics of migrating your site and ensure that there aren't any technical requirements that Acquia Hosting cannot accommodate.

We are looking forward to Hosting your site.

Thanks,

Acquia Team

svn commit = upload?

what should the site behave? http://groups.drupal.org is enough for a small group like HKDUG?

Just wanna let everyone know that I've gotten the free hosting & I'm setting it up right now... kinda a pain in the ass the way things are set up... very different from your typical shared or dedicated hostings.

Anyway, I have a question for you all. I plan to set up 2 different distros, like this:

http://hkdug.info - the acquia drupal distro in sites/default
http://atrium.hkdug.info - the open atrium distro in sites/atrium.hkdug.info

In OA, we can list out features to build together. In the default site, we can write up the steps more nicely in tutorials, and allow users to try doing it themselves by giving everyone rights to create new content types & views... etc. We'll use demo site to restore the default site to the previous snapshot every hour or something.

What do you think? Suggestions? Anyone wants to be more active in setting up the environment in Acquia let me know too...

Cheers
