As this work is under the aegis of the @infra project, I have raised a JIRA ticket [INFRA-3888] Initial Configuration of the VM ooo-forums.apache.org to cover this work.
Build _Test_ VM using Ubuntu VM and pull a copy of _Current Prod_ to validate. This work will be done within the current OOo (Oracle) working practices to de-risk the migration ahead of task 3. \ [completed\]Wiki Markup Set up initial build of _Target_ VM under VMware ESXi. This is a bare Ubuntu 10.04 LTS VM configured as a “standard server” and including the Apache-standard security extension. \ [completed\]Wiki Markup - Set up phpbb role
- Document as per INFRA-3888.

Obtain project endorsement to transfer the application content. \ [completed\]Wiki Markup Transfer the _Current Prod_ build, with a snapshot of the form content from _Current Prod_ as at 9th Aug 2011 to form the basis for full scale testing pre-prod. This will content be stale and not synced to _Current Prod_. All forum content changes with be discarded at task 10. \ [complete\]Wiki Markup Build and integrate Language Pack extensions \ [completed\]Wiki Markup - Regress forum customisations
