techmeetup.co.uk is owned by Arnav Khare, who's no longer involved with TechMeetup.

@daleharvey has more information about the domain so maybe he can let us know what the story is.

[rwillmer]

Dropped dale an email...

@mikemcquaid @rwillmer

The techmeetup repo has been moved to the techmeetup org, I have the techmeetup.co.uk name, I can transfer it, although given the turnover of organisers for TM I expect its probably easier if someone just wants to send me an email to update it, right now it just has an a record pointing to github

[rwillmer]

Hey dale,

Are you talking about DNS or domain ownership?

I'm looking at Whois, and that says the domain name is not owned by you.

Are you talking about the DNS entry which points the website to the GitHub site? That's a separate question, which doesn't need to change right now.

Yeh the whois is stale, Arnav transferred the domain to me

@daleharvey While you're there:

The page build completed successfully, but returned the following warning:

GitHub Pages recently underwent some improvements (https://github.com/blog/1715-faster-more-awesome-github-pages) to make your site faster and more awesome, but we've noticed that techmeetup.co.uk isn't properly configured to take advantage of these new features. While your site will continue to work just fine, updating your domain's configuration offers some additional speed and performance benefits. Instructions on updating your site's IP address can be found at https://help.github.com/articles/setting-up-a-custom-domain-with-github-pages#step-2-configure-dns-records, and of course, you can always get in touch with a human at support@github.com. For the more technical minded folks who want to skip the help docs: your site's DNS records are pointed to a deprecated IP address.

@daleharvey The usual rule of thumb I've used in the past is that no single person should have sole access to the DNS or registration for a shared domain; saves lots of problems when the time for renewal comes up and that sole person has gone offline for a month.

So please can you add me as an admin person on the domain registration, and I'll share it with the others. Or transfer the domain over to me, and I'll set it up to be shared by the current team (and you too if you'd like to still be involved).

Thanks Rachel

[MikeMcQuaid]

@rwillmer A shared Google Docs spreadsheet of usernames/passwords might be handy.

[rwillmer]

Dale's transferred the domain registration over to me (thanks Dale!)

[MikeMcQuaid]

@rwillmer :+1:. Let's get the details shared somewhere. LastPass or similar would be good.

[rwillmer]

I'm going to add you all as contacts on the domain, once I've moved it off from GoDaddy.

I can't share my domain/DNS account details with you; they're my business ones.

We could set up a completely separate account for domain and DNS if you want? Or is it sufficient just that you'll be named as a contact so if I disappear under a bus, you'll be able to extract the domain from my registrar.

[MikeMcQuaid]

@rwillmer I think a completely separate domain/DNS account might be a nice thing if that's not too annoying for you. Thanks a lot.

[rwillmer]

@mikemcquaid do you have Enterprise-level LastPass? If so, can you create and share the folder? I can only have one and I need that for something else.

[MikeMcQuaid]

I could set up a shared e.g. gmail address we can use for the email point of contact for such things if it makes sense.

[MikeMcQuaid]

I do not, unfortunately.

[MikeMcQuaid]

(I use 1Password)

[MariusCiocanel]

I use 1Password too :)

[rwillmer]

Closing this, since the domain has been transferred

[MikeMcQuaid]

@rwillmer @MariusCiocanel Any suggestions for how to share these passwords? Google Doc/Drive, DropBox, 1Password? What works best for you guys?

[rwillmer]

lastpass, most secure and there's a free option

@rwillmer Seems it doesn't solve the problem; we still need the master password documented somewhere?

[rwillmer]

Why do you think that? AFAIK, it's sharing a folder, not an account

Someone need to have premium for that though, right?

[rwillmer]

Premium = $12/yr, I think
