16:04 < lmacken> wee.. </class><weekend>
16:04 < iWolf> OKay. Back.
16:04 < iWolf> Sorry.
16:05 < iWolf> PRobably a short meeting today. mmcgrath had something come up at
work and dgilmore had a doc appointment.
16:05 < iWolf> The big thing mmcgrath wanted people to talk about was his
officer/role email from earlier in the week.
16:05 < iWolf> And to take a vote on that.
16:05 < iWolf> Everyone familiar with the email?
16:05 < lmacken> indeed
16:06 < iWolf>
https://www.redhat.com/mailman/private/fedora-infrastructure-list/2006-Oc...
16:06 < iWolf> Are most people okay with moving forward with what mmcgrath
proposed?
16:06 < iWolf> dgilmore cast an absentee ballot for yes.
16:07 < iWolf> Obviously Mike thinks it's a good step forward.
16:07 < iWolf> And I'm in agreement with them. I think it is a good direction
for us to head.
16:07 < iWolf> Other thoughts? Disagreements?
16:07 < skvidal> I'll go with it
16:07 < skvidal> sure
16:08 -!- lyz [n=lyz(a)dsl081-149-006.chi1.dsl.speakeasy.net] has joined #fedora-admin
16:08 < lyz> meeting going on?
16:08 < iWolf> yeah.
16:08 < abadger1999> Yeah. We need officers to make day-to-day decisions, come up
with new ideas, get people involved wit
h definitive tasks.
16:08 < iWolf> lyz: we are adding thoughts to mmcgrath's email earlier int eh
week
16:08 < iWolf>
https://www.redhat.com/mailman/private/fedora-infrastructure-list/2006-Oc...
16:08 < abadger1999> I'm all for it.
16:09 < iWolf> Good, sounds like the vote leans towards moving forward with
mmcgrath's proposal.
16:09 < iWolf> Anyone else?
16:10 < iWolf> Okay, I think Mike's plan is to get a wiki page up to help define
the roles, people listed in the email wil
l want to help define their role.
16:11 < iWolf> Once we have that, the plan is to put out another call for
volunteers.
16:11 < lmacken> sounds good
16:11 < iWolf> So, be thinking of what projects would be good for a newcomer, even
if they aren't on the schedule yet.
16:12 < iWolf> I think that was our issue last time, we didn't have a good plan
for working them into the group. So feel
free to add to the schedule or be ready for tasks/projects for newcomers.
16:12 < iWolf> If no one else has anything to add to that, we can move on...
16:12 * iWolf pauses
16:14 < iWolf> Okay... On to the schedule. Since it is a light crowd today, speak
up if you have something to report.
16:14 < lyz> |
16:14 < lyz> I'm done with the LDAP schema
16:14 < lyz> for the account system2
16:14 < iWolf> lyz: nice!
16:14 < lyz> It loads into openldap at least
16:14 < abadger1999> lyz: Cool!
16:15 < iWolf> lyz: are you adding to the wiki page with some of the info? And feel
free to post to the mailing list on t
hat too.
16:15 < lyz> I'd like a box to test it on. Was that going to be a xen host
16:15 < lyz> iWolf, ok will do
16:15 < iWolf> lyz: Yeah, I think it will be a xen box. OS preference?
16:15 < lyz> Linux :)
16:15 < iWolf> :)
16:16 < lyz> RHEL 4 is good
16:16 < lyz> I need FDS though
16:16 < iWolf> lyz: okay. W've had some issues getting an RHEL to run as a Xen
guest on Xen2. dgilmore has been working
on that.
16:17 < lyz> I'll try to get FDS on my FC5 box and start loading some test data
up
16:17 < abadger1999> Is the xen machine going to be a test box?
16:18 < lyz> to start with yes
16:18 < abadger1999> Maybe we should setup a FC6 guest since those have been pretty
trivial.
16:18 < iWolf> abadger1999: they have been much quicker to install.
16:18 < lyz> should work
16:18 < lyz> I think the version of FDS is what matters the most anyway
16:19 < iWolf> lyz: Cool, if we get the RHEL guest issue sorted out soon, then we
can do that, otherwise get a Core6 guest
with FDS to at least get a test machine running for you.
16:19 < lyz> iWolf, it's a deal thanks
16:20 < iWolf> As for teh db upgrade....
16:20 < iWolf> We tried the RHEL install in a guest, which has been problematic. We
did have a Core 6 box running though
where I tested the DB restores and started mapping out a more concrete plan.
16:21 < iWolf> The restores were smooth and I think I have tracked down everything
using one of the databases.
16:21 < iWolf> So once we have a guest we are happy with I will be restoring the DBs
to the xen guest and pointing the app
s at the new db2 server.
16:21 < iWolf> And then proceeding with the OS upgrade.
16:22 < iWolf> on db1
16:23 < iWolf> Let's see...
16:23 < iWolf> Anyone else have something to add?
16:23 < iWolf> Something they have been working on? Something we should be working
on?
16:24 < abadger1999> I'm working on a script to encrypt the password files in
fedora-config with all the necessary keys.
16:24 < iWolf> abadger1999: oh yeah, that looked pretty nice!
16:24 < abadger1999> Have to get pygpgme through Extras review to make it happen.
16:25 < abadger1999> But it's otherwise pretty complete.
16:25 < abadger1999> iWolf: Thanks :-)
16:25 < iWolf> It should make keeping that file updated a little less of a chore!
16:26 < abadger1999> Yeah -- Much easier as we get more admins we want to have
access :-)
16:27 < abadger1999> Speaking of packages - Do we still request FC-3 branches of
Extras packages we need to run on the ser
vers?
16:28 < abadger1999> I think EL branches are waiting on jeremy to have time to set
it up.
16:28 < iWolf> abadger1999: I am not 100% certain on that. I think that has come up
in a meeting before, but I can't reca
ll the final thought.
16:28 < iWolf> yeah, that seems to be what mmcgrath has said (re. EL branches).
16:28 < iWolf> abadger1999: I would post that one to the list and see what comes of
it.
16:29 < abadger1999> iWolf: k
16:30 < iWolf> I think that covers it for the people here.
16:30 < iWolf> If no one else has anything to add......
16:31 < iWolf> With that, the meeting is adjourned.
16:31 < iWolf> I'll post the log to the list.
