TuxFamily.org newsletter ------------------------ #0: January-April 2010 --------------------------------- 0. A newsletter for TuxFamily.org --------------------------------- We were asked by several users to give more information about what's happening at TuxFamily, all year long. We hope they'll be satisfied by our two new newsletters: * every four months for all users * every two months and a half for our members. Remarks, criticisms and wishes are of course welcome. Please give us some feedback! Oh, and, by the way: a very happy new year from the TuxFamily team! ----------------------- 1. TuxFamily in numbers ----------------------- Here at TuxFamily, we host: * 2137 projects * 2681 users * 1361 databases (~10 GB of data) * 946 repositories (CVS - rapidly decreasing -, SVN, git) * 416 mailing lists, with 9319 subscribers * 297 domain names. And behind the scene: * 138 GB of data (downloads excluded) * ... including 34 GB of logs * 320 GB of downloads, including: * 10 GB of images * 81 GB of movies * 44 GB of archives (.tar, .zip...) * 77 GB of ISO images * 15 GB of .deb/.rpm packages We have twice as much data as last year. This is mainly because we've started keeping logs for a whole year. Useful data have grown by 36 %. ---------------------- 2. Project of the term ---------------------- Recently arrived at TuxFamily, we are pleased to welcome Vikidia, a free encyclopedia for 8-13 years old. Born in 2006, the project aims at creating an encyclopedia by and for the children. As in Wikipedia, anyone can edit articles - children and adults alike. All the content is available under the GFDL and CC-BY-SA licenses. Vikidia exists in two languages: French and Spanish. And because we love numbers, here are a few: Vikidia in French has 6885 articles, 6250 files, 1837 registered users. They receive ~5000 visits / day, and fill 7.1 GB of our precious disk space! ---------------------- 3. Feature of the term ---------------------- Did you know... that TuxFamily has its own stats service ? No need to setup your own webalizer! Stop slowing down your site with Google Analytics! All the (detailed) statistics you need are already on http://stats.tuxfamily.org/YOUR_SITE/ You get all the usual data: visitors, page views, keywords that lead to your site, referring URLs or what OS / browser your visitors are using. But you could also discover at what time of the day you get more visits, the IP of all your visitors, per-page number of views and bounces... Just try it: http://stats.tuxfamily.org/faq.tuxfamily.org/ ! -------------------------- 4. TuxFamily in real life! -------------------------- If you happen to visit a free software event here in France, you will probably meet the TuxFamily.org team! Last year, we were present (and active!) at Solutions Linux, in march, at the Libre Software Meeting (LSM) in july and at the free software village of the Fete de l'Humanite, in september. This year, we'll be once again at Solutions Linux! We would be pleased to meet you on march 16-18, at the porte de Versailles in Paris. -- If you don't want to receive news from TuxFamily any more, just login on https://panel.tuxfamily.org and check out "Receive mails from the newsletter" on your preferences.
