[osol-announce] Preview version of new OSO portal & Auth system
available

The OSO team would like to announce the availability of a preview
version of the forthcoming replacement for the current OpenSolaris.org
portal.
The new portal can be cound at http://hub.opensolaris.org/ and the
associated OSO user management system can be found at
https://auth.opensolaris.org/
A test migration of the data in the current system into the Auth system
has been performed. If you log in to
https://auth.opensolaris.org/login.action with your current OSO username
and password you will be taken to an account edit page where you can
confirm your account details and view your account data, including your
SSH keys and the collectives (Communities, Projects & User Groups) that
you are a member of. The collective information from the current system
has been mapped to the proposed new constitution, including the new OSO
membership roles.
(http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/OGB_2008/010_OpenSolaris_Constitution_2009).
If you log in to the Auth system you will also be logged in to the
existing site. Please note that although you can edit the data in the
Auth system, the live system will not be updated with the changes, and
any changes you make in the Auth system will be lost when when the next
test migration is performed.
The new portal at http://hub.opensolaris.org/ has been integrated with
the Auth system, so it obtains information about users and collectives
from the Auth system. There is no content in the portal, but the spaces
and pages are structured in line with the collective data that has been
migrated from the live system. For example, if you currently have edit
rights on pages on the live site, you will have the same rights on the
appropriate space in the new site.
Please note that this preview release is a work-in-progress and is
intended to be a test of the basic infrastructure - data migration,
application integration and rights management. The look and feel of the
sites is not as it will be in production, so we won't be addressing
anything other than data validity, rights management and functionality
issues at this stage. As we move towards production we will of course
switch focus towards look & feel.
We are depending on the community to help us shake the new system down
and identify any bugs or deficiencies, so if you have any feedback
please sent it to website-discuss at opensolaris dot org.
Many thanks,
