Presentation
- Wikimedia and wikipedia by Trevor Parscal and Roan Kattouw:
- Wikimedia infrastructure > difference between wikipedia (encyclopedia),
mediawiki (software), wikimedia (foundation / movement), how they fund
raise and how the funds are used, Open source philosophy: content is
CC-BY-SA / GFDL, GPLv2+, servers ubuntu, all open source, Infrastructure:
primary datacenter in Tampa, Amsterdam, Virginia. Architecture: LAMP on
steroids, Squid / Varnish for caching, Caching invalidated by on-demand
purging (when edited), use Memcache for Parse results and translations,
MYSQL: separate database for each wiki split over 7 or 8 clusters,
External storage for retaining every edit, Media storage is not scalable
and accessed via NFS, moving toward OpenStack Swift, Thumbnail generation
done on servers > going to swift, LVS-DR used for load balancing, geoDNS
for load balancing based on CNAMEs, SSL termination working, Wikimedia
