Camp for Climate Action 2008 Website

Onsite server and offsite web resources

Climate Camp Website

• Feed of recent photos from the camp (via a Flickr account that will be editorially controlled http://www.flickr.com/groups/climatecamp/)
• Feed of recent videos from the camp (via blibtv: http://climatecamp.blip.tv)
• Camp press releases (is there an rss feed for camp press releases?)
• Camp Blog(s) (proposed to be Wordpress)
• Mainstream media coverage feeds (possibly a feed of links using something like Asaph to generate them) - example of such links at the [Camp_for_Climate_Action_2008_News_Links] page.

Below are some quickly cobbled together aggregated feeds of blogs which mention the climate camp, kingsnorth etc. http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=OnOjuf1U3RGbjmcgJphxuA# (&_render=rss)

Here is similar thing for mainstream news coverage http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=pJBVggVV3RGtFgIoJphxuA (&_render=rss)

Onsite Server

The on site server is a relatively hi spec laptop running applications for the thin clients. We will also utilise it for other services to avoid the need for having additional hardware turned on...

Web Portal

A web portal will be served out on site from a web server running on the BW LTSP server laptop. The idea is that we provide easy access to commonly required info for people on site without the need for needing any off site bandwidth. It also allows us to add things which are useful to activists but not suitable for the public website.

The portal should contain everything provided by the climate camp website and add the following information, skinned to match the C4CA website itself:

• Usual set of useful links: C4CA website, Indymedia UK, BW, other IMC sites and portals relating to climate change etc.
• Indymedia UK newswire C4CA 2008 feed (http://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/climatecamp/newswire.rss http://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/climatecamp/features.rss)
• Climate IMC newswire (http://climateimc.org/en/frontpage/feed)
• Important camp information feed (from camp twitter?)
• Lastest share price ticker of E.ON (http://ir1.euroinvestor.com/irstaticcharts/eon_xetra.png)
• Google search box (perhaps a google co-op search?)
• Camp Blog (reference to what Christian is looking to sort out)
• Photos (http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/groups_discuss.gne?id=778918@N24&lang=en-us&format=rss_200)

Caching Proxy

The server should also provide a caching web proxy (squid) so that bandwidth demands are reduced and apparent speed increased. This might need fine tuning to ensure greatest efficiency with the indymedia site etc.

Network attached storage / file server

The photo and video pool (and probably other things) will make use of network attached storage kept in a safe place. We have a budget for drives and were thinking of mirroring the drive for additional security. We might also want to consider using an encrypted filesystem if possible.
