Re: [Mailman-Developers] Setting up a VM.
Hi Peter,
Sorry about not getting back to you earlier; I'm the org admin for the PSF for the first time this year, and in case that wasn't enough, we've grown considerably and I've got a huge amount of email. Thanks for pinging me off-list to let me know I missed this one once you figured out i was the one who needed to see it.
The short answer is just "+1" (Which, if you're not used to this particular terminology, means "that's a good idea; go ahead and do it")
So yeah, go ahead and get a VM set up; you don't need to ask.
You'll probably want to follow the mailman install instructions here: http://pythonhosted.org/mailman/
Chris, who was working on such a thing before, seems to have gotten stuck somewhere. You might want to ping him to see if the two of you can work together to sort out any problems (I'm cc'ing him so he sees this mail) or if he can offer any advice. You might also want to do a quick search through the archives to see what we told him when he asked about setting things up. You probably also want to talk to other incoming students who've already set up their dev environment since they'll have any issues they encountered fresh in their minds!
If you're looking for some help via IRC, most of our mentors and a decent number of students are on IRC when they have some time. I think wacky is our most stalwart IRC'er, so you may want to ping him if you're having trouble getting someone's attention. Many of us are are on IRC while busy doing other things, so if you want someone's attention the best way is to say their irc nick name in channel: most IRC clients are set up to help bring anything directed at us to our attention.
When you get to the point of a final working VM, either post a link here & to the wiki, or if you need hosting, ask on the mailing list. I know I have access to some machines that can do it, but I'm sure I'm not the only one.
FYI: I've got a friend flying in for a visit tonight, so I'm pretty much going to be offline as much as possible for a couple of days, but hopefully that should get you pointers to other people who be more available to help this weekend.

Hello again community.
Two days ago I made a sort introduction of my self and stated that I'm interested in implementing the "Web Posting Interface" project(through this e-mail - http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/msg13451.html).
In order to getting started with Mailman development I went through the equivalent quote(here - http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/Google+Summer+of+Code+2013). Since I'm able to consume the services described here : https://okeanos.grnet.gr/services/cyclades/ , I would like to setup a VM and also make it available for future developers.
If you're interested in this, poke me to arrange a meeting in IRC and discuss any further details.
Best regards, Peter Markou.

I seem to get stuck completing the buildout process..I am not able to get mailman core configured/running correctly (so far),as after running /bin/test -vv, the tests don't succeed, showing that I get errors from tests: SMTPLayer, Layer: mailman.testing.layers.RESTLayer..
The cause in both cases seems to stem from failing at the SMTPLayer, where it shows: [Error98] Address already in use.
"mailman conf" shows that smtp port setting is:25. I tried "netstat -plntu | grep :25" to see if there were any processes using that port and there are not any. I think I found info. sometime back regarding the error message but have not resolved it, so I can get postorius to run in the browser but am stuck at mailman core part.
I'm cc'ing Chris so he can share any advice
.
RE: sharing a development image, Xu Wang posted on that today, which I look forward to exploring... thanks (and for bearing with me during my env't set up) I did research into sharing a development machine-image using Amazon EC2,S3 API/buckets, but left that alone for now due to possible cost factors as well as potentially better alternatives - though, I'd be glad to work together with anyone interested in an EC2 dev-env't setup. Send me an email or IRC :)
