SAC Meeting 2018-08

Where and When

 * in IRC on Freenode, channel: osgeo-sac Thursday Aug 9th 2018 20 UTC
 * Web IRC client: https://webchat.freenode.net/

Talk about hardware plans

 * Our new hardware has landed, OSUOSL has already been instructioned to install Ubuntu 18.04
 * Need to fill in Wiki page and get started doing something with it SAC_Service_Status.
 * We need to flesh out the setup details and start setting it up Osgeo7.

Notes: August 9
 * Looks like wildintellect working on getting his VPN account setup
 * requests/added to VPN access from strk, robe2, TemptorSent, Martin, jef
 * TemptorSent did have some good notes and links now added to the osgeo7 page on how to do the setup
 * VPN access is only needed to bootstrap using the IPMI.
 * are we asking OSUOSL to do the basic install or just stick a thumb drive in and we do it?
 * possible steps:
 * figure out the correct installer,
 * work out where to put the /boot with grub
 * ask OSUOSL to put in a flash drive with what we need
 * /boot can be any FS type technically, especially if it's not on the spinning rust
 * other option
 * wouldn't the correct one just be this - http://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/ubuntu-18.04.1-live-server-amd64.iso
 * not use desktop image would liable to install junk like a desktop
 * there we can do a normal install to the SSD, then copy the install over to ZFS formatted drives

Nextcloud,

 * Board's request for sync+share storage replacement of Dropbox
 * TODO: robe - I really want to speed this up before handing to board to test after I will send a note to OSGEO board.  Note we'll eventually move this to OSGeo7 once OSGeo7 server is set up

Notes August 9


 * https://nextcloud.osgeo.org
 * Has anyone done any playing with nextcloud to see what we might need to tweak?
 * have to announce to the board, but really wanted to improve the speed cause it's really slow
 * coordinate with board to migrate their content from dropbox to nextcloud

Wiki LDAP integration

 * (how do we move forward) wrt to approaches what are we willing to put up with 165
 * TODO: Martin Spott and TemptorSent explore logistics of setting up a sandbox we can test.

Notes august 9:


 * Wiki - I haven't seen the database still
 * Martin had created a backup

OSGeo Website topics
- anything outstanding SAC needs to be involved in?
 * from last week:
 * TODO (sponsors): close the related issues with Jive.
 * Never saw Jive on the IRC
 * Gravatar is now used in following pages: members page, board page
 * TODO: on the members list page, https://www.osgeo.org/community/members/ I could not find where is the code that generates the list
