[Terpelaziun] Minister of Technology (Dec 7)

[Breneir Tzaracomprada]

Tuischach:

This enquiry is for the Minister of Technology @Mic'haglh Autófil, SMC EiP, it follows up on this reply from last month:

I thank the Member for this question. If he will allow me to answer in two parts:

The first priority is the re-nationalization of the nation's web presence. I am still waiting for the Permanent Secretary of Backend Admin to give final agreement, but the plan at this point looks like this:
* At the moment, the PermSec is overseeing server hosting using a service called Digital Ocean; we have a "droplet" (a piece of server space) with DO under the PermSec's name.
* The PermSec will create a separate DO account to be controlled and funded by the Government. (I will ensure that he works with the Burgermeister to set up relevant payment information.)
* Once this account and a nationally-run "droplet" is set up, our web presence will be migrated to it, completing this process and achieving the goal set out at the beginning of the term.

Overall, a fairly straightforward process, I am simply waiting to make sure that everyone agrees on what the plan is so that we can implement it.

Regarding the new database possibilities:

* I am similarly waiting on some final feedback from the Deputy Minister regarding his suggestion of a possible solution, but from what I understand it will be a good fit for our needs. (I anticipate that the last few weeks have been a bit busy for him, what with setting up the Heir Presumptive referendum and whatnot.)
* However, this does not mean that I will not honor my commitment for a public review of the suggested solutions. I would look for this sometime within the next two weeks; sooner, if we can get the server transition done quickly.

What updates do we have on the public review of suggested solutions, and other ongoing matters concerning the database alternative?

Estimadăs Tuischac'h, I thank the Member for this question.

I will admit that the transition of the National Database has taken a bit of a backseat to some of the other issues currently being solved by the Technology Ministry, however as I have a significant amount of free time over the holidays, I will commit to holding this discussion by the end of the month/year.
