 * See the note: https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/2075
 * Please decide if those roles can be created on main site
 * [robe] Status of staging.www.osgeo.org now setup on web18a.osgeo.osuosl.org (plans to migrate production to there as well)

Sys Admin Contract

 * [martin]:

Martin to report on what he's been working on.

Migration off old hard-ware AND Virtualization, Containerization, or None

 * Discussion pending on list (moderator: could not find the mail thread)
 * Needs:
 * trac is painfully slow (now seems better with Chris Gorgi's recent changes to apache config)
 * osgeo6 is running an ancient Debian, needs to be updated

Leaning to libvrt since it can be done with one server (less resource intensive than ganeti), with possibility of moving to ganeti next year when we get more hardware.

DONE: Alex sent quote to mailing list. Chris Gorgi has some ideas, may provide enhancements 

Any other feedback from others to be discussed
 * DONE: provide clarification of new hardware purchase options suitability for hosting type. (wildintellect)

Others


Trac SVN status
Concluded apache is our main issue.
 * Regina looked at postgres load and see if anything amiss there and if any query bottlenecks
 * Chris Gorgi made changes to apache config which helped and suggests changes to DNSSec

Ticket Triage

 * More https setup (got a couple of these, last our downloads which seems critical)
 * Bas says we need downloads.osgeo.org under SSL


 * Add support for registering public user SSH keys in LDAP

GeoForAll DNS
Jeff to report on status of GeoForALL and other DNS issues he's been fixing
