Present: David Boswell (davidwboswell), Doug Warner (silfreed),
Chris Neale (cdn-work), Michael Dosser (tanker)
Discussion was held publically in #mozdev
Discussed current developer projects and upcoming projects:
- fixed new projects showing up on active list
- drupal testing went well; fixed bugs that were reported
- release staging copy to Project Owners?
- Doug is worried that performance would deter any real evalutations
- Doug will look into performance problems on vebzom since the hardware isn't that much older
- ask bug reporters to test and give comments
Discussed systems projects:
- Can't show only a portion of munin stats without running another munin instance
- All munin stats can probably be made public, so the above won't be a problem.
- Mic wrote a script to make the top 50 projects available as XML feed.
- Doug will work to make a web page and RSS feed of the XML feed
- new munin modules are setup; mysql, hard drive temperature. New ones that would be interesting: bugzilla, mailman
- awstats finished processing web stats this morning; web stats for the past year are now available
- TODO: keep adding new munin modules, make munin stats public, looking at the mirror situation
- do we needto review backups?
- currently done by osuosl via rsync
- would like to rsync the entire /mozdev partition to make new setup faster
- OSUOSL can't host more machines, so a backup machine is still on hold
- FreeBSD 7.0 will support Xen (due in the fall) - this would open up Amazon EC2 as an option
- can be postponed for now
Birthday planning:
- David will post to PO list and Chris will setup his designs on Sept 1st
- designs will rotate automatically, with Sept 19th still talk-like-a-pirate day
- David: Chris, should we hire a designer to redesign mozdev.org? Chris: "Um"
- things to redesign: logo / font / layout / [colours] / information architecture / Usability
