Message 15724 - Posted: 28 Nov 2006, 20:14:31 UTC

Well thanks to the discussion I started on the developer mailing list, BOINC now has a feature for members of teams with inactive founders to request the foundership and have it transfered to them without admin intervention. However LHC will have to update their php code and their database tables before this feature will become available. This almost certainly won't happen until the move to QMC in January. You've waited this long... whats another month? :)

That was a recent change, and LHC is missing modifications from months ago - maybe even a year. Lots of things changed, wouldn't be easy to upgrade, I doubt they will do it soon.

Yes, the issue is that Chrulle tweaked the server code to provide variable deadlines, so that urgent work could be run ahead of routine work.

The project do not want to discard that new code of Chrulle's, and that means it is not as simple as installing the udgraded server from the install files.

How to avoid this in the future: make modifications on the code downloaded from CVS. Running cvs update on that directory later will merge server changes with local changes when required.

EDIT: waaait a minute... variable deadlines? Why does that need server tweaks? Different deadlines can be set to *each workunit* since I started looking at server stuff...

Well it sounds like QMC is setting up a brand new server so hopefully they will start from scratch and use the latest boinc source code and then port whatever customizations LHC has to the new code. I don't think the variable deadline change will be a problem in this process. Especially for the php code that runs the website which is what we are talking about here. All it requires is a change to the team table and an update of the php files.

I believe that work that was never returned gets a shorter deadline when re-issued.

That's currently an official feature as well.

Do any projects have this modification yet and where did they hide it ?

I've been looking (on other projects, not here) but have not seen it anywhere yet...

seti has it as well. It only shows up if the team founder is inactive. Not sure what they used to determine activity but probably RAC dropping below a certain level or something like that. I haven't reviewed the code but if I'm remembering the discussion correctly, when you make use of the feature it sends both you and the founder an email. If the founder doesn't respond and you do then it will transfer the team to you after some number of days (a month or two I think).

To the SysAdmin/Moderator or just a person with the nessecary power.
The team that I have joined has no founder as he passed away on the 16/8/05. I would like to take the team over with the hope of increasing it when I get the Web page thing sorted out. I have asked this of all the projects in the team as I participate in all of them. I am the only other member of the team.
So I am asking to be made the team Founder.
Team name is TeamAUS
Original founder is Craig Zuvich
My name is Conan
Country is Australia.

Can you please make me the Founder of TeamAUS.

Thank you for your time.


To the Project Administrators,
As this project is back on the go I would like to see if this matter I asked about over 70 days ago could be seen to.
As stated above I would very much like to made the founder of this team. I am the only active member since the founder passed away (16/8/05).
If this could be done it would be very much appreciated. Thank you for your time.


Time to bump this up.
Whilst you are working on the database, web page and such could you also have a look at this 200+ day old request of mine please.
I am still looking at being this teams founder as I am still the only active member (the only member seeing as the Founder passed away).
Thanks again for your time in this matter.

After a cursory glance it seems that only a teams founder can do that easily but I will look into it some more.

Could you please include me on this request for Canada. Our founder has been inactive for some time on all projects and we have not got any replies to our emails which we have been trying for a few months now.

Neasan, You must not be running an up to date php codebase. The BOINC web code has had a feature in it for several months now that allows a team member to request foundership if the founder is inactive. It sends an email to the founder asking them to respond within 60 (or was it 90?) days and if no response is received then the original requester can take over foundership.

Any chance you could install this update? The Knights Who Say Ni! could use a new founder as well. Haven't seen F-12 Pilot online in serveral months now.

Team USA also wishes too see this function added.

The code allows another member to make an automatic request to become founder, without having to keep asking for the admin to intervene and make manual changes, email is sent to founder automatically, if the current founder does not respond within 60 days (approved or denied), the requester can then complete the transfer and become founder. This is useful when the founder goes missing and is not contactable, either just gives up boinc or maybe is deceased.

I've been waiting since september 2005 for this to appear here, another 60 days wait won't matter.
