| Right now our financial situation is untenable; we have 134 members with base expenses of over $750 per month and are only able to operate because of members with multiple pledges. The active members of the coop should attempt to get a friend or two to join, and we should address any issues that would prevent someone familiar with UNIX from joining. A goal of expanding membership to around 300 by next year seems reasonable given the hardware we own, and would put us in a position to explore things like having a part-time paid sysadmin and expanding a bit more aggressively next year. == System Administration == The main volunteer system administrator pool should be expanded from three to four in order to replace mwolson and remove some task burden from docelic. If no one else wishes to volunteer, I should be able to assist, but it has been quite a while since I've done any system adminstration for anything other than my personal machine. Setting up a firewall and user limits similar to what we used on fyodor is essential to expanding beyond our current membership; right now we have resources to spare and ports a plenty, but I suspect that with 300 or so members we'll be close enough to our hardware limits on at least mire that we'll need to prevent the occasional runaway process from interrupting service for other users. |

2. General Coop Goals
Unstructured musing on when/what I think the coop ought to be.
- October 2012: New website online, navajos and bog both up with new members using them
October 2012->January 2013: Big push for new members. New website should make us seem more alive, we've finally fixed about 3/4 of the "temporary" hacks from when we first moved to Peer1, etc. In the background, prioritize getting rid of mire (less work: we just have to get people off of it), but also work toward getting rid of deleuze. Web services first (low hanging fruit), even if it means punting on fully converting to domtool managed sites (at least packaged and documented). AFAICT other than those we're just left with:
- April 2013: Election and hopefully 150 members. Mire has been turned off for at least a month at this point.
- Summer 2013: Assuming 150+ members, more disk space and perhaps more bandwidth are in order. Deleuze should be safe to turn off by now at the latest.
- Late Summer 2013: Catch the sales on the last generation Dell 2U/2-socket machines and create a clean counterpart to fritz
- Minimal KVM host setup for base OS. We might run the KDC and OpenAFS on the bare metal, not entirely certain.
- Create new wheezy based VMs, duplicating (and turning into master) services hosted in VMs on fritz
- For the first time, this is realistic: all of those months packaging our configuration pay off by sparing future-me from herculean efforts.
- Fritz becomes the last-generation backup server (secondary dns + kdc + MX + xmpp + load balancing with apache? + automagic database replication for members + ???)
- Spring 2014: Ponies for everyone.

5. Admin Stuff
5.1. Terrible Things
Since we are having a roll call soon, we need to deal with these.
Removing ns3.hcoop.net, and outpost's IP changing. Members have been using the literal IPs in their low-level domain configs. Define nsN_ip values in hcoop.dtl and force members to use them.
- phpVersion needs to change
Change DefaultAlias to false in the vain hope it makes gmail like us more. Side effect is less spam for everyone.
- Really need to support $user+$local addresses for this to work well
- Ideally we could drop spam and whatever, but that's a lot of work and possibly not the right thing
Change SPF for hcoop.net to mandate that all mail come from mail.hcoop.net.
- Don't generate backscatter when spammers send mail to users forwarding offsite
- Really not sure how to do this and not violate various RFCs
