Replacinging Mire
Mire is a crufty old ... mire of a machine. See FritzVirtualization for details on its replacement.
Short term
- Find new admins
- Work out physical access situation
- Get new web services VM online
- Get new member shell / daemon VM online
Long Term
- Spring 2012: Kill mire
- Fall 2012: Kill deleuze
- Winter 2012: Acquire more disk space
- 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.
