Replacinging Mire
Mire is a crufty old ... mire of a machine. See FritzVirtualization for details on its replacement.
Immediate Tasks
ASAP Find new admins
ClintonEbadi is the only active admin (DavorOcelic still assists with emergency tasks and processing of permissions requests -- ClintonEbadi 2012-09-04 05:28:39). This is problematic because ClintonEbadi is only one person, can fake being a sysadmin most days but has holes in his knowledge, and the coop would be screwed should his bicycle and a bus meet.
- It's hard to become an HCoop sysadmin, but a lot of work has been done in 2012 to make it easier... if you're interested please mail the administrators list! Anyone with experience administering exim and courier imap would be extremely helpful as of September 2012.
ASAP Work out physical access situation
RichardDarst officially resigned all duties and decided to leave the coop. This leaves us with no one to perform maintenance at the data center. There are technicians on-site, but they can't do more than accept packages and minor tasks (rebooting a machine, swapping a failed hard drive) and are expensive. In order to expand we'll need to find someone who can go on-site for major maintenance events (new drives, new servers, removing old machines, etc.).
September/October 2012: Get new web services VM online (see FritzVirtualization)
October 2012: Get new member shell / daemon VM online (see FritzVirtualization)
Long Term
- January 2013: Kill mire
- Spring 2013: Kill deleuze
- Summer 2013: Acquire more disk space
- Spring/Summer 2013: Acquire IPMI Console
- Summer/Fall 2013: Acquire another 8-core monstrosity (KVM server, redundantly serving everything on fritz?)
Neglected tasks
BackupInfo situation really, really sucks. I'd use stronger language if children weren't around.
- Services need updating to latest versions (lots of config merging and testing):
- Exim
- imap (courier authdaemon needs [or needed] a patch to work properly, converting to Dovecot has its own set of difficulties)
- Mailman (not clear how to have mailman stuff generated on a machine other than the mail delivery node)
Tasks which non-admins can do, too
See HcoopVolunteerTasks for a list of things non-admins can help with.
