Infrastructure

bit.ly starts at about 995USD/month, so no option. Investigating self hosted shorteners...

Okay, so short update: bit.ly is indeed free for use, but only offers a limited subset of features without paying, such as no custom link names such as tdf.io/imprint if it already exists on bit.ly at all.

Thanks for the research! Any self-hosted solutions available? Per se,
the bit.ly thing sounds fine to me, but it will be hard to change
afterwards, so we should decide wisely in the beginning.

We can talk in the office on Monday, would be good to have some
information on self-hosted solutions (if there are any). :-)

Apache has its own service with released source code. see http://s.apache.org/

ah and a really good German blog post presenting some script with pro and cons... http://www.drweb.de/magazin/url-shortener-fur-den-eigenen-webspace/

YOURLS seems to be like the best self hosted solution.

Any chance to have this before Christmas?

Currently reinstalling the VM after it was used as testbed for monitoring last week. Setup of the shortener should be quite fast after that.

You rock! :)

Woohoo! :-)
If you can send a note to projects@ and website@ on how to use this
service, that'd be great!

And feel free to send me admin credentials :-)

I have access to the interface, but there is no mail yet to website@ and projects@ - can you do so, so people are in the know this service does exist now? ;-)

Sent a mail to projects and website lists.

As pointed out in the mail commenting in order to gain access

/me raises the hand: it will be handy for social net works..

for the cross reference of #989 the LDAP plugin is located https://github.com/k3a/yourls-ldap-plugin ;-)

me too, please

I need it for press releases, so we can get rid of third party shorteners. If it is related to an email address, please use italo@libreoffice.org.

I need it, please.

Me too.

Mailed users about account setup details.

Hi, I would also like to ask for access, for Slovenian release documents, like translated press releases, background documents.
Also, where could I host those files? Should I setup my own account like at Google or should I park it in the wiki somewhere?

It would be nice to shorten some very specific pages for easy reach. We will be giving a lecture on LibreOffice development next week and writing https://www.libreoffice.org/about-us/source-code/ on the pamplets for the source code makes it a bit cluttered. So something like tdf.io/source could be reserved for this by you maybe?
I also would like to add this specific one :) Can I have access too?

Hi Gökhan,

Quoting what I wrote yesterday:

In the future, please avoid reopening old tickets unless you believe the exact issue wasn't fixed properly ("Setup tdf.io link shortener" isn't really related to your request). It's best to open a new ticket instead :-P

Anyway, done.

I would like to have access to the shortener if possible

Got the mail and poked him on IRC :-P And again:
