Description:

vWorker.com Writing Addendums:

All English writing-related deliverables MUST be of grammatical, structural and logical quality commensurate with written English in a professional journal (unless otherwise stated by the Employer). If you are a non-native English speaker you are HIGHLY CAUTIONED against bidding if you are less than 100% certain that you can provide this level of deliverables.
- However, if the Employer accepts your bid based on a sample of your work that falls beneath (or above) this level, then they are indicating that quality of your sample is the acceptable level of quality in this contract.
In general, all deliverables MUST be completely your own original work and may not be taken (in whole or in part) from any work that you do not have full copyrights to (unless otherwise stated by the Employer).
- If the employer agrees to allow you to quote material from other sources, you must surround that material with quotes and cite the source with enough detail so it can be verified.
- The employer may agree to allow you to paraphrase material from other sources. This is legal when the work is considered "Fair Use" (which generally means it will NOT be used commercially and ONLY for educational purposes). When this is the case, you must follow generally accepted standards for paraphrasing. Merely rearranging words and phrases from another source is considered plagiarism and is illegal. To correctly paraphrase, you should read the original and then close the book/source so you cannot see it and then write the entire material from scratch using your own words. On the other hand, if you may know or suspect the work may not be "Fair Use", please inform or consult with vWorker.com.
If you infringe any copyright you will forfeit all escrowed funds under the terms of ""fraud"" in your contract and may have your account suspended. DO NOT BID ON THIS PROJECT, unless you fully understand United States copyright law and it's ramifications to you.

I've just setup a Linux VPS that is optimised for PHP hosting, and not the Python framework I will be using as the base for my commercial hosting operation.

The host utlizes their own custom Open Source (PHP) control panel, which I want to use to control standard site related (non-framework) tasks; email, domains, create new site*), etc.

*A new site CAN be easily created by simply duplicating an existing folder; SVN OR even a live folder (and then customising for each new client).
I need a SysAdmin to oversee the setup of the server, & Control Panel, so it operates seamlessly with our existing Framework. GPLhost have, and continue to be very helpful, and provide built-in tools for duplication of existing accounts within the existing (PHP) Control Panel. They also have a vested interest in greater Python compatability with their CP.

Im looking for an experienced SysAdmin that can:
1. Oversee and administer the setup of our VPS for reliable operation with our Framework.

2. Customise the existing PHP Control Panel to integrate with the installation paths we'll need (this should be simple).

3. Provide documentation for future Hosts, and future SysAdmins, regarding the necessary customisations for setup of a ROOT Managed system.

Platform:
Project details:
Host: GPLhost.com
Platform: Linux; Debian; Sarge
Framework: Pylons - pylonshq.com
- Paste
- Myghty
- SQLalchemy
Database: SQlite/PostGreSQL (about to changeover)

Deliverables:

1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.
2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):
a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment.
b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request.
3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement).

All deliverables must be uploaded to vWorker.com before the deadline(s) for this project...with no exceptions. If this contract makes it impossible for a competent person to do this, then do not start this project...but instead alert vWorker.com of an un-arbitratable, illegal project.
Remember that contacting the other party outside of the site (by email, phone, etc.) on all business projects < $500 (before the employer's money is escrowed) is a violation of both the employer and worker agreements. vWorker.com monitors all site activity for such violations and can instantly expel transgressors on the spot, so we thank you in advance for your cooperation. If you notice a violation please help out the site and report it. Thanks for your help.
