Meeting summary
---------------
* roll call (adamw, 15:06:19)
* present: adamw, mizmo, tuanta, mitr, nirik, simo (adamw, 15:09:22)
* Agenda Item: Drafting a test plan (adamw, 15:09:56)
* Agenda Item: Should we have a default caching DNS server? (adamw,
15:10:15)
* Agenda item: Remote journal logging (adamw, 15:13:39)
* also present: davidstrauss (adamw, 15:13:44)
* Drafting a test plan (adamw, 15:14:05)
* adamw has volunteered himself to draft a broad initial test plan for
the Server product, an attempt to define the required scope of test
coverage to validate a Server release (adamw, 15:17:13)
* nirik suggests checking for already-existing upstream test plans
(e.g. freeipa, postgresql) (adamw, 15:17:52)
* simo suggests simple deployment of domain controller role on server
machine and domain join / user creation on a Workstation machine as
a basic smoke test for domain controller role (adamw, 15:24:12)
* Should we have a default caching DNS server? (adamw, 15:28:57)
* davidstrauss and jsmith have found caching DNS very valuable in
real-world deployments (adamw, 15:30:01)
* there is an effort underway to write a plugin for NetworkManager to
integrate with unbound, which appears to be the WG's caching
nameserver of choice, but it is on track for F22 not F21 (adamw,
15:38:18)
* ACTION: simo to work with virtualization and networking folks to
make sure any caching DNS plans consider libvirt's use of dnsmasq
(adamw, 15:40:55)
* AGREED: We would like the Server product to have DNS caching
functionality by default, but we believe this can be done at a
project-wide level as of Fedora 22 and do not intend to NIH it for
the Server product only Fedora 21 (adamw, 15:44:26)
* simo will try to act as liaison to the folks working on NM/unbound
integration (adamw, 15:45:54)
* Remote journal logging (adamw, 15:46:56)
* see devel@ thread "F21 Self Contained Change: Remote Journal
Logging",
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2014-April/197980.html
(adamw, 15:47:53)
* simo has concerns about the security of the proposed design
(suggests kerberos as a better framework than https) (adamw,
15:49:29)
* it looks like we all have some reservations regarding the new
proposed systemd remote logging functionality, and expect to stick
with rsyslog for the foreseeable future for Server (adamw,
16:00:00)
Meeting ended at 16:02:49 UTC.

co-owner for cloud "adopt your cattle" feature
by Matthew Miller
The Cloud WG has a proposal for an "Adopt-Your-Cattle" feature, wherein the
Cloud Base Image could be easily changed to Fedora Server. The details of
that are a completely hand-wavy at this point. Would anyone like to
volunteer to be a co-owner of this (see our trac ticket for the feature at
https://fedorahosted.org/cloud/ticket/20) and help make it less vague?

Security related defaults process
by Simo Sorce
On the meeting today we briefly discussed how to address defaults that
may be appropriate for a server and may differ from other Fedora
products, how to find them, how to change them in the product.
I am personally more looking to determine a process, when we find out
something may need to change. How do we analyze the issue, what
guidelines will drive our decision and finally how, technically, changes
are made that affect just the server product.
I'd like ideas and discussion around this topic so we can determine if
it is important, and how to deal with this 'stuff'.
Simo.
