We're celebrating the birthday of our shiny shiny servers! One of the most important and most exciting things about the Archive is the fact it represents the amazing achievement of fandom pulling together to generate the investment and expertise needed to create a true home of our own. Since September 2009, fandom has owned the servers, and the OTW is committed to making those servers a safe space for the fannish community.

Happy birthday Archive servers! One year on Servers of Our Own!

Happy birthday to us, happy birthday to us, happy biiiiirthday dear servers, happy birthday to us! The beautiful, beautiful servers of our own are one year old! We're incredibly proud of the fannish energy and investment that enabled us to buy our beautiful servers - thank you fandom!

Birthday presents

As our birthday gift to fandom, we've launched an AWESOME code release. Release 0.8.1 includes skins, mobile exports, and a very special guest logo!

In a crazy break from tradition we held our meeting on Sunday this time, to allow me (AD&T's dedicated chair) to regather my brains after a week spent travelling and mostly offline.

This isn't so much a meeting update as a general round-up of news from AD&T, since the writing up of reports, er... got away from me a little. But that means it is an extra tasty update!

This was a landmark meeting for us - we got through the entire agenda! Several members of the committee were absent because it was a holiday weekend, and those who remained were slightly distracted by the Eurovision Song Contest, but apparently we were borne upwards on butterfly wings!

Archive status: Support form down - and back up!

Edit 18.37 UTC 9 June 2010: We're happy to say this issue has been resolved and the form is back to normal!

Due to an issue with the tool we use to host Support bugs, the Support form on the Archive is currently broken. We hope to have the problem resolved very soon, but in the meantime please see our master post on the Archive for details of how to contact our Support team.

We'll update again when the problem is resolved - thank you for your patience in the meantime!

El futuro del Archivo -- ¡Cuéntanos tus deseos y tus sueños!

Recientemente publicamos una versión revisada del Itinerario para Un Archivo Propio, que muestra todo el increíble trabajo que ya hemos hecho y todas las cosas que planeamos para el futuro. Todos los planes originales para el Archivo nacieron de ideas del fandom de un 'Archivo ideal', y estamos muy orgullosas de cómo estos sueños se están haciendo realidad.

Message: 

The future of the Archive - tell us your hopes and dreams!

Wir haben vor Kurzem eine aktualisierte Version unseres Archiv-Fahrplans hochgeladen, auf dem alles aufgelistet ist, was wir schon erreicht haben, aber auch die großen Pläne, die wir für die Zukunft haben. Die ursprünglichen Pläne beruhen auf den Vorstellungen, die Fans von ihrem "Wunscharchiv" haben; wir sind sehr stolz darauf, dass diese Wünsche langsam aber sicher Wirklichkeit werden.
