Westgate upgraded to Drupal 4.7.5
Submitted by todd on Wed, 2007-01-24 00:56After running in the development environment for over a week, the production Westgate system was upgraded to the latest version of the Drupal 4.7 branch -- 4.7.5.
This will be the last non-bugfix version of Drupal 4.7 now that Drupal 5.0 has been released. The bikegeeks are investigating the migration to 5.0.

Development updated to Drupal-4.7.5
Submitted by todd on Thu, 2007-01-11 02:03I updated Development to drupal version 4.7.5. We'll test this for a while to see if everything works before updating production.
Instead of my usual (convoluted) method of updating, I just untar'd the new drupal version over Westgate and dealt with the conflicts. Seemed to work much easier. I'll get around to updating the upgrade howto document at some point.
New sites in development
Submitted by todd on Wed, 2007-01-10 22:42Just added developments sites for more upcoming Westgate sites: bikeuic.org, autoshowshutdown.org, dingyourbell.org, and logansquarewalks.org
Meeting Notes from 1/8/2007 meeting
Submitted by todd on Wed, 2007-01-10 21:10It was a full house tonight: Todd, Paul, Dan, Stoner, & Jordan. We also welcomed two new geeks to the regular fold. In addition, Chris Wallace from Blackstone Bikes came to see what the bikegeeks could do for Blackstone.
We discussed more than we worked as there was a lot to talk about after not having met for a few weeks.
Here is our discussions modified from the agenda for the meeting:
CiviCRM upgraded
Submitted by todd on Wed, 2007-01-03 01:03The CiviCRM instance running within Westgate has been upgraded to the new 1.6 release.
bikewinter.org now hosted on bikegeeks server
Submitted by todd on Wed, 2006-12-20 02:01The Bike Winter site is now being hosted on the bikegeeks production server (formerly, it was hosted on a 3rd party server).
The plan was to leave the old site in its existing place until the site was ready to migrate into Westgate, but circumstances required bringing it over early. This site will be preserved as old.bikewinter.org after the Westgate migration.

Westgate now running Drupal 4.7.4
Submitted by todd on Tue, 2006-12-12 01:16I just finished promoting the new version of Westate/Drupal to production. Everything went fine, except that I had to run the .../westgateDev/scripts/fixSequences.sh script because I had brought over the bikegeeks database from development. After I ran the script, things worked fine.
Bikegeeks site (this site!) finally joins Westgate
Submitted by todd on Tue, 2006-12-12 01:11The bikegeeks site has finally made it to production. This site was started along with the Westgate project itself, but never received any love until now.
Browse the site, and feel free to send us any feedback you might have.
thanks!

Working Bikes Site Goes Live in Westgate
Submitted by todd on Mon, 2006-09-25 12:21The site for Working Bikes Co-op has gone live in the Westgate system. Working Bikes now has snazzy (theme by jordanb), easy to use home on the net.
Westgate upgrades to Drupal 4.7.2
Submitted by todd on Thu, 2006-08-31 11:55We have migrated the westgate project to Drupal version 4.7.2 (we were on 4.6.6). The new 4.7 version provides several new features and enhancements, but the one we're most excited about is the streamlined content creation capabilities; creating static site content is now much easier.
The rollout went smoothly. Everthing has been made to work in our development environment first. After everything was checked into subversion, the deployment on the production site was just a few commands.
Westgate trasitions to new server
Submitted by todd on Tue, 2006-05-02 00:51The production Westgate system has been successfully transitioned to its new server. This server, owned cooperatively by three bikegeeks, lives in a co-location facility in downtown Chicago.
The new server gives the bikegeeks full freedom to modify the production system as they see fit.
