<Fill report here>

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 <Fill report here>

• TODO: provide clarification of new hardware purchase options suitability for hosting type. (wildintellect)

Others

<Fill report here>

• Trac SVN status

   Regina looked at postgres load and see if anything amiss there and if any query bottlenecks
   Concluded apache is our main issue.
