Free polemic...
The administrator of the homepages at Free, supplier of access and well-known Internet hosting in France, very recently started a polemic on GuppY: "I already said that I did not want to see guppy." "Guppy (and others, I do not look at the small names has to want reinvent the wheel... (en is baited passing by cubes or other forms approaching some?)."
This information was then relayed by the ADUF, Association of the Users of Free: "when Freenaute - was it in good faith - uses on its site of written scripts mals (GuppY cuckoo) or of" the exotic "modules of statistics which mobilize has them only the supposed resources of a server being divided between several homepages, the administrator sulfates... has our direction, in manner legitimates... "
GuppY, because of its great recognized notoriety, is thus found in line of sight of the Free webhosting. I am customer at Free always since, a faithful same customer, grateful. This company has brought a healthy competition in the market and the services of quality, which I assess. I am particularly thus pained all of their polemic. And Free does not know that I had voluntarily developed, not tested and installed the premieres versions of GuppY on its gracefully put hosting the provision of the Net surfers has, then on its subsidiary company of hosting mutualized cheap Online, because that corresponded has my financial means time has and also, precisely, to test the capacity of GuppY has to function flexibly in a mutualized environment of mass and to optimize its consequently engine!
The choice of a database stored in files and not in a MySQL base is a founder choice which:
facilitate the installation and management for the users, one can all transfer by simple ftp (and safeguard also easily), one sees all, one can all manage without great data-processing competence;
imply in fact, n the other hand, many accesses disc, therefore greedy and slow because the accesses disc, especially in writing (that splits up...), are optimized than the accesses most probably bases MySQL data type. Out a host like Free possesses most probably an infrastructure of servers not very powerful but with a large capacity disc for the storage of the homepages, and of more powerful servers for the database accesses.
GuppY has, I think it without modesty, the best system of basic simulation of data of the CMS in its category. The unit contents are stored in small files (one reads only those which one needs, one writes only unit information to be on nothing to corrupt), as the files of indices serve has to accelerate the selection and thus the loading. The engine of GuppY could undoubtedly be still optimized to go even more quickly, but it functions with a single robustness in its kind. Before being a pretty quite practical and convivial CMS, GuppY is especially a CMS without database, which goes remarkably well, without corrupting itself.
Webhosts known as "pros", like our sponsor Nuxit (pub!) and all those which contact us regularly, like us them. Because they understood well that a simple and satisfactory use for their customers is what imports more in their context.
And it is which is all the paradox: a Webmaster beginning will take GuppY and will want to install it on a free webhost standard Free, as a Webmaster more hardened and seeking a certain level of service will be more often able to launch out in the installation of a CMS with MySQL on a paying host. [Note: I do not say that all paying hosts are of better quality that free hosts!]
And then, there are people who included/understood this paradox and who seek a beautiful site of quality, without catch of head have to install and have to manage, ready has to invest a little for the hosting of this site, and the other hand of a certain level of guaranteed service. And then GuppY at a host not too expensive is a good solution.
Postscript My Home Page was posted has the moment in approximately 3 seconds on my paying host. And it was posted in about 6 seconds on my site of test at Free. Timing carried out several times. My GuppY base contains 4562 unit files. My supplier of the Internet access is Free.
freeGuppy Association General Meeting Notice 2008-2009
- by JeandePeyrat
Hello everybody,
This a notice to attend the freeGuppy Association General Meeting on Septembre 20th 2008. There has been a delay due to a case of force majeure and particulary the unavailability of our president to be elected in the general meeting, according to our rather special statutes which are available on the association website : http://asso.freeguppy.org/
The General Meeting will of course be opened to all on a specific forum that will be put on line when needed on the above site, but only those members up to date on the membership fees will have the right to vote, and this for a fifteen days period, i.e to Saturday 4th October included.
Members who are late on the membership fees are invited to regularise the situation if they intend either to participate in the votes for the General Meeting or become a member of the association or the Management Board, or both. New members are welcome too.
As far as the General Meeting is concerned, the right to vote is valid as soon as payment as been received and registered by the treasurer. As it is possible to pay through Paypal, sending the membership fee can be done very quickly.
The General Meeting lasts much longer than usual because the whole management of the association is made through the internet because it is not possible to make General, Management Board or other Meetings in one physical place since the members or potential are scattered geographically.
Agenda
* Financial report by our treasurer Yves (Papinou) and request of approval.
* Moral report by the outgoing president (your servant) and request of approval.
* Request of approval of the last General Meeting minutes. (General Constitutive Meeting)
*Handing over of the presidency to our new president who should be theoretically Hubert (Hubby) and setting up of the new Management Board, among which four new members previously elected; I do by the way congratulate them. (See the minutes of this election)
*The word and the objectives of the president.
*Miscellaneous questions
If you have any questions prior to this General Meeting, you may ask them on the dedicated forum on the freeGuppY association website.
There will be someone there able to give you an answer in English.
