What happen to first Patreon goal

We did deploy a server running FreeBSD from SoYouSrart, we did move every thing there to and to work our web infrastructure, the big thing that was accomplish was replacing MantisBT with Redmine and add a ftp service for hosting all iso on ftp. since the mix of PayPal and Patreon make our income more stable and we decide to move right away to a server, we did not wait for the first Patreon goal to be done, and we might come with a new goal. There is still great Patreon goals that we engage to accomplish.

What append with issues and wiki users

Since we replace MantisBT by Redmine all the user that had an account on issues.ghostbsd.org will have to create a new one. We was not able to migrate the Wiki database and all user need to will also need to create a new account. we are sorry for that inconvenient

We did replaced MantisBT with Redmine, we feel that Redmine will help us to improve our project management of bugs, new features, communication and timeline.

The forums was successfully move and all user should have no problem to log in and use it right away, the forum was the only database that had been successfully moved.

The main website was running on Drupal 7 and still running on Drupal 7, but we did rebuild it from start, but we was able to move all the node.

We did created and anonymous FTP server, and soon all our ISO will be hosted there which images will be directly download from us, Source Forge will be a old story.

All user that had account on the wiki and issues system need to recreate an account. We was not able to move the wiki database this has result to problem that some user might not find inconvenient, we are sorry. Since we are moving to Redmine for or issues system all account was not possible to created, we did add all issue that was not completed in the new issue system all user interested to create an account can do it right away.

We hope that everybody will enjoy the new Web infrastructure that we created to better serve GhostBSD user.
