Welcome to Wampumpeag

Wampumpeag and Wampum blog have been around since blogging began. We started at blogspot, then self-hosted, first in php, using MT, then MT+WP (code is art), then drupal4, then civicrm2, then ... and in the last year the python django and pylons frameworks where we're working on two large scale implementations.

Some sites:

  • drupal sites
    • this a standard d6 using newswire, really, a personal website kind of (mis)application of a cms,
    • usawebhost a d6+civicrm in development for a domain registrar, with most features in stealth mode
    • d7.this a tech showcase (still on my local-to-Ithaca machines, so an immanent link)
    • naisa native american & indigenous studies assn. another d6+civicrm, this time for membership and voting purposes, retired are the original d6 site for voting the initial formation of the assn.
    • .nai a d6 wrapper for a big civicrm3 based campaign. similar to the cherokee election voter file project.
    • draftgore2008.org, a d5+civicrm2 campaign site, it was big in the draft gore movement
    • mainecommonwealth a d4 campaign site now on its 3rd leg (chris is a campaigner)
    • ...
  • python sites
    • (coming on 1 october) the registry site
    • (coming on 1 october) the registrar site, a pylons development
    • (coming in september) a django showcase
  • mt sites
  • wp sites
    • In Enemy Country
    • trip to wonderful, the log of our 4 years living in a 30' travel trailer with a v/sat, 4 kids, a dog and two cats, from maine to california and forth, and from minnesota to florida and back, offline while being reworked

drupal 7 dependencies

August 9, 2010 by admin

Drupal 7 requires php data objects (aka "pdo"), a data-access abstraction layer.

This really is as simple as adding the php configure option "--with-pdo-mysql=path-to-mysql"

Note Bene: PHP 5.3 is supported by d6.x x > 14.

deconstructing a d6 multi-site

August 8, 2010 by admin

part 1 of transforming a flawed (nsd) d6 multi-site, some with civicrm, config back into several stand-alone sites (ns{c|d} and into the new aegir.

We came to an agreement and from then until the end of August, 2010, I've had the responsibility of being CORE's Chief Technical Officer.

In 2009 I became a founding member of the Fairquote Cooperative. More...

projects

As a development shop we have several projects going. The most recent one is a python web application using the pylons framework, sqlalchemy, the mako template system ... and future work with mongodb. Another recent project is also a python web application using the django framework ...

As a prelude to a year-long effort systems development project we just started testing the Free Registry for Enum and Domains (fred), implemented in python and C/C++ by the .cz registry. The first step of this project is simply to set up fred on a current ubuntu platform and exercise it for several candidate name spaces -- test data for an unnamed ascii registry, test data for an unnamed hebrew script registry, test data for an unnamed arabic script registry, test data for an unnamed han script registry, test data for an unnamed cyrillic script registry, and test data for an unnamed devangari script registry. The second step will be prototyping actual candidate applicant registries. We expect to be able to make the extend-from-or-from-scratch choice in October.

Longer term projects are the MK++ implementation from the OSF RI of fond memory. More on this later.
