= IRC Meeting to be held Sunday, June 22, 2008 = == Agenda == Our most critical issue is setting up a better email infrastructure. Along with this question, we should put together some longer-term plan about allocating our cabinet resources at Peer 1. There are some secondary agenda items that we should address when we convene. === Primary Agenda Item: Adding a new Mail Server === There seems to a be a consensus among board and admins that we need to allocate a new machine to be a mail server. There are different options available to us: * Use Xanadu - machine is currently not utilized and in our cabinet * Pro: Inexpensive * Con: weak hardware that will consume a scarce resource (rack space). a hard drive or drives still have to be bought and configured, and the RAID card, which might or might not work, has to be installed. * Purchase a robust server and run Xen. Allocate one slice to mail, another for shell, and other slices to members * Pro: Better long-term solution that allows us to make better resource of our rented space * Cons: May take longer to set up, and would be expensive * Additional resources: * Justin's email about expanding and virtualization: http://justin.phq.org/hcoop/expansion_virtualization.txt * Possible configuration for the kind of server that we would need to purchase for this plan: http://justin.phq.org/hcoop/virtual_server.pdf === Secondary Items === * Add a secondary MX at hcoop.net: https://bugzilla.hcoop.net/show_bug.cgi?id=369 * Give JustinLeitgeb sudo access, and shell on all machines, since he already has on-site access
