ElggCamp 2009 Boston Harvard University USA:- This "concept" started December 2008 about the time Daniel and Fabrice worked out Multi-Sites. I was then thinking over the inverse of Multi-Sites -- an Elgg install located on many different servers...

1. HACKERS ELGGALAXY Distributed Elgg A Conceptual Design Directions

3. MULTI-SITES ? !

4. SCALABILITY

5. MULTI/SPLIT DATABASE READ/WRITES

6. FUN

7. WHAT DO WE WANT PEOPLE / SITE OWNERS WANT EVERYTHING !!! COOL UNIQUE PLUGINS SCALABILITY 1,000,000'S OF USERS ;-) $$$'S $5 / MONTH HOSTING

9. CREATED TO ENTERTAIN **1** 5-YR OLD KID

10. TODAY 23,000++ KIDS AROUND THE WORLD !

11. WAZZA POINT ?

12. SCALABILITY !!!

13. CAN ” MJ ” AND “ DC ' ** SCALE THE OPERATIONALS OF ELGG TO HANDLE HIGHER VOLUMES AND TRAFFIC ?

14. EVERYONE 'S CONCERN

15. WHAT IS ALREADY DONE ELGG " MULTI-SITES " Daniel Ansari & Fabrice Collete Multi-Sites PlugIn

16. CURRENT ELGG OPERATION MYDOMAIN.COM ENGINE/SETTINGS.PHP:= // Database name $CONFIG->dbname = 'elgg15'; // Database server $CONFIG->dbhost = 'localhost'; ++ datalists...

17. DISTRIBUTED CONCEPT MYDOMAIN.COM: /CONFIG.PHP: $CONFIG->codeHost = 'http://www.CodeBase.Com/ELGG/'; $CONFIG->configHost = 'http://www.Config.Com/ELGG/'; $CONFIG->dataHost_A = 'http://www.DataHost.com/ELGGDATA/'; $CONFIG->dataHost_B = 'http://www.DataHost.com/ELGGDATA/'; ... $CONFIG->dataHost_Z = 'http://www.DataHost.com/ELGGDATA/'; ... $CONFIG->dataHost_9 = 'http://www.DataHost.com/ELGGDATA/'; $CONFIG->dbHost_XXX = 'http://www.DataBase.com/MySQL/ELGG/';

18. DISTRIBUTED ELGG BOOT MYDOMAIN.COM FETCH CONFIGURATION FOR DISTRIBUTED COMPONENTS SETUP PATHS, ETC BOOT GO.. GO.. GO.. ;-)

19. BROWSER-BASED DISTRIBUTION ? Executing Elgg "controller" off XAMPP, WAMP, etc from own PC ==> makes the PC an intelligent "node" Elgg 'control logic" at the "node" can therefore determine where /which domain to direct requests for different parts of Elgg :- * code * data * mysql tables
