What were we up to? Well, lots of stuff, really, but one of the major projects is FONCEPT, our in-house project. When launched in last October, it was far from being perfect – just a very simple website with little features. During the past months we have been trying to polish it up by adding some community-enhancing elements and user-friendly features. We are glad that our efforts pay off – FONCEPT attracts more and more members!

Earlier this year, Ben gave a brief talk on web application start-up at HKUST. He shared his experience in setting up FONCEPT and gave advices on web projects start-up to students .

The following is Ben’s slideshow:

However most of our servers currently run on Ubuntu 8.04 and as a stable release we can’t expect to have the official package of subversion 1.5 any time soon. That’s why we need to prepare the subversion 1.5 Ubuntu package ourselves.

The package (Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy, i386) there was prepared on Amazon EC2 with Ubuntu 8.04, complied from the sources code of subversion 1.5.0 in Ubuntu 8.10. Enjoy yourselves :-)
