Sent this originally to RJW who may have posted prior to my joining the list. Apologies all around if I'm improperly posting or if it is duped. I've been trying to get installed/running a perl app and have been unsuccessful to date and am looking for some help. I have a small budget for it or hopefully someone competent will see the value to the greater good and assist as it is a quasi not for profit project(more on that later) The App Background It is an opensource app called FoodClub, Developed by an individual in Portland, FoodClub.org. The newer ver. of the app is currently running live on his server which has been forked from the opensource earlier ver. that I have. The developer decided last year or so to furhter develop it as a closed propriety service that he is developing to sell subscriptions to(a typical bus. model), yet the orig app is still opensource. So I have the source code for the latest opensource ver. of it. My Background I've been involved with non profit work for many years and I co-started the LCCOOP (Lake County Coop) and setup their buying club as a way to build local consensus for an actual food co-op Storefront. In '08 I found this opensource buying club app that is written in Perl. The app sits on top of a LAMP Server running mod-perl(may only need cgi now). It enables buying clubs the ability to "Share/split" purchases of case lots. The original developer sent me the source code and I started my search for a programmer(with some initial success) to have someone assist to put it on my hosted server and work at the update of it's features, several non programmers tried and couldn't get it to work, so this time around I set up my own lamp server and was going to try to get it installed and then modified to be more feature rich. It, the app is adequate and functional(to get started on), but not robust. I also in '08 took the app and put a fork on sourceforge to develop it further as strictly opensource, but that fizzled and I then left the co-op, but it is still up there at sourceforge and I'm still committed to get it running if is possible. So the bottom line is that I need some help to get it installed, asap, on a mod-perl'D (My server at the store (90% setup and configured) or a hosted site that allows root access that will allow mod-perl to be installed) so we can get the buying club running and THEN look at the options to modify it or integrate the app or duplicate the feature-set into a opensource shopping cart, like Magento... I've been told it should take a few hours to evaluate it, and get it installed and debugged and running. If you want to look at it I could forward the app over, totals about 65k So if you could recommend anyone in the group that might be interested in helping. I have some funds for the project as stated, but we are a start up and funds are limited and it is a quasi not for profit project. Thanks for taking the time to read and consider this. So if anyone is interested to help you could give me a call when you get a min. or by email.

I don't want to speak for the group, but if you can make it to the meeting and have external ssh access to the server available, I'd be happy to look and see if there's something obviously wrong. (Assuming I can make it; unfortunately, I'm about 50-50 on being able to make it this month.) -'f From geoff at broadwell.org Tue Sep 29 17:19:26 2009 From: geoff at broadwell.org (Geoffrey Broadwell) Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2009 17:19:26 -0700 Subject: [Santa-rosa-pm] Newbie-Asking for Help-Is this Improper In-Reply-To: <1254207358.4387.11.camel@rover.home.broadwell.org> References: <4AC1A516.6050509@gmail.com> <1254207358.4387.11.camel@rover.home.broadwell.org> Message-ID: <1254269966.4387.20.camel@rover.home.broadwell.org> On Mon, 2009-09-28 at 23:55 -0700, Geoffrey Broadwell wrote: > I don't want to speak for the group, but if you can make it to the > meeting and have external ssh access to the server available, I'd be > happy to look and see if there's something obviously wrong.

I still think it's a good idea to bring it to the meeting, though. :-) -'f
