Mozdev sysadmin meeting minutes for 2008-04-22

Present: davidwboswell (David Boswell), ericjung (Eric Jung), gjm (Gerry Murphy), silfreed (Doug Warner), djc (autocopy extension owner)

Discussion was held publically in #mozdev

Discussed developer priorities

  • spam attack last week has been cleaned up; old notes system is currently disabled
  • mercurial is setup on staging at hg.vebzom.org; authentication is currently working against tigris database using existing CVS perms
  • currently working on getting admin tools setup to select VCS and create repositories
  • once admin tools are in place (hopefully this week) we can have devs test this on staging
  • no response from community for secure updates testing; just going to release it as "beta" and deal with bugs later

Discussed sysadmin priorities

  • spam attack ate up all the time last week
  • logging of outgoing messages was broken since PHP 5 upgrade; fixed and improved
  • gjm is monitoring abuse@mozdev now and replied to our upstreams about our recent spam attack
  • some security patches were applied to servers
  • copied production apache/nginx config to staging for Doug

Web stats/Top 50 page

Staging server migration

Firefox updates server load handling

  • handled firefox 2.0.0.14 release well

Cooperation between AMO and Mozdev.org on abandoned project adoption policy

ericjung would like to bring passwordmaker.org's mediawiki install back to mozdev.org

  • should be possible; we'll need to work on the configuration a little bit

announce Mozdev.org sysadmin meetings?

  • Doug will post the next meeting time in his minutes
  • we should try to get the agenda for the upcoming week in a wiki for people to edit/comment

project status update form is being spammed

  • gjm will post to sysadmin list to ensure it's safe to be disabled
  • Doug will look into removing the form and links to it
