Srife: /* Community Involvement */ Removed - this is no longer a focus

Any tasks or issues relating to any of the community tools found at tech.churchofjesuschrist.org, such as Joomla, Forum, or Wiki.
; '''Summary'''
; Solution Manager : Steve Peterson (ICS)
; Product Manager : [[user:Srife|Steve Rife]]
; Project Manager, Dev Lead : [[user:TimRiker|Tim Riker]]

==Purposes of Tech==
Many people know of the resources for ward clerks and technology specialists on tech.churchofjesuschrist.org. The forum and wiki contain myriad conversations and a knowledge base for technology related ward and stake issues that cannot be found anywhere else. Tech.churchofjesuschrist.org is an indispensable resource to those seeking technology support in their demanding and difficult callings.

==Project Objectives==
The purpose of this project is to continue to improve the '''self-support''' services provided through Tech.

===Self-Support===
The '''forum and wiki''' are the tools for '''self-support''' on the site. The wiki provides a codified knowledge base for officially approved uses and scenarios for Church related technology. In the forum, users can post questions and get answers from other forum users. They can also search previous remarks from users. Problems that aren't answered in the wiki can be researched in the forum.

==Community Collaboration==
Tech provides a collection of tools, to enable community collaboration.

===Skills Profile===
Users of Tech can identify which technologies they are comfortable with or interested in learning. This aids project managers in identifying people who will be able to contribute to their project. It is '''not necessary to fill out the skills profile''' to join projects.

===Projects===
The list of available community projects is visible to those who sign the '''contributor agreement'''. Projects are created by sponsors internal to The Church. Community members can join projects they are interested in and participate at a level they are comfortable with. Volunteers can leave a project at any time.

====Contributor Agreement====
Those willing to contribute to Church technology projects must sign the '''Individual Contributor License Agreement''' before they will be able to start.

===Content Management===
'''Joomla''' is used to manage and maintain the blog, users and projects.

==Key Information==

===Test system===
The dev system is no longer publicly accessible. You must be on the Church network or on VPN to connect.

* http://tech-dev.churchofjesuschrist.org/tech/joomla/

===Internal Team Members===
* [[user:TimRiker|Tim Riker]]

===Release Steps===
* note current release in case we want to role back
* review required sql patches
* confirm regular mysql backups are working
* short news blurb that upgrade is in progress on home and irc
* backup tech directory
* git pull
* apply sql patches
* enter and re-save ldap/talentpool/etc modules in administrator if needed
* test joomla, wiki and forum
* remove or update short news blurb and irc topic
* when all tested, remove backup directory
