Or is this just the bare bones? 18:11:57 abadger1999: just bare bones/backend. 18:12:00 k 18:12:03 * nirik would jump for joy to get rid of app07. ;( 18:12:05 abadger1999: we'd still have to write front-end querying stuff. 18:12:51 any leads on how to create a new db? or... after the meeting? 18:12:54 abadger1999, anything I can help with the rewrite? testing, review? learning new pain 18:13:12 threebean: I can assist with that. 18:13:18 in stg it's all on db02.stg... 18:13:43 smooge: If you want to -- I just forked ianweller's tree and started hacking: https://github.com/abadger/fedora-elections-flask 18:13:46 nirik: cool, thanks. I'll need to do it again in a few weeks for tahrir/openbadges. 18:13:52 smooge: There's a TODO file in there. 18:14:09 ok thanks 18:14:43 in other news, packages01.dev is up and running from a git repo for fchiulli. http://packages01.dev.fedoraproject.org/packages 18:15:23 cool. 18:15:28 smooge: Some self contained items would be: (code): write a conversion script for old data to the new data. (packaging): rpmify the new elections and the fas-flask package (html/designer): give the templates a fedora theme -- probably can base them off the current elections or raffle code. 18:17:19 ok... any other apps/devel news? 18:17:22 or shall we move on 18:17:53 #topic Sysadmin status / discussion 18:18:04 so, busy as always... a few things to note: 18:18:17 #info we have been seeing an odd httpd crash on app servers of late. 18:18:31 it would be nice to track it down, but it's sporadic and hard to pinpoint. 18:19:15 #info ongoing problem with log02 and it's host, sometimes requiring reboot. 18:19:40 there's a bug on this one, had a bit of activity recently. 18:19:55 #info skvidal has been working on cloud stuff 18:20:12 We have a test euca cloud up and running... we have been poking around with the config and kicking the tires. 18:20:42 I've been updating https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure_private_cloud with use cases and some policy draft ideas. 18:21:05 Any other sysadmin tasks or upcoming items folks would like to note? 18:21:08 Oh, one more: 18:21:27 #info will be announcing status.fedoraproject.org...

I haven't been following the go/no-go meetings. Is it something that more hands would help with? 18:25:48 if we do need to change it, probibly next would be just having folks come in a few days early before fudcon 18:26:18 well, it's mostly been installer issues. :( But things are looking better than they have been today... 18:26:41 skvidal on vacation might be good to add. 18:26:41 mm, ok. 18:26:49 abadger1999: it's there. ;) 18:27:08 nirik: oh, I think lmacken's out next week too. 18:27:14 Also, I might be doing some traveling mid sept as well... but I should be working from the road mostly, so it shouldn't really affect too much 18:27:19 oh I guess my brain didn't recognize him with a capital "S" :-) 18:27:30 threebean: indeed 18:27:31 threebean: oh yeah. 18:27:41 my hotel is 10 minutes away from nirik :P 18:27:50 yep. ;) 18:28:09 :) 18:28:34 so, if we slip just one more week... the fad will be the week after release and should be fine. If we slip more than 1 week, it will be release week, or pre release, which will not be 18:29:10 so, we will see I guess. 18:29:12 nirik, well if we slip the security fad any more we might as well do it at Fudcon 18:29:26 smooge: yeah, that was my thought too... although before fudcon. 18:29:40 well all funds for 4th quarter pretty much go to fudcon 18:29:40 have everyone come in 2-3 days before. 18:30:00 yeah. 18:30:22 but doing it before hand at fudcon might still be possible. 18:30:36 I think we might be able to get fad money to help for those days... 18:30:40 but we can see. 18:31:13 #topic Open Floor 18:31:19 ok, anyone have items for open floor? 18:31:38 oh, there was a request to change our wiki url scheme... 18:31:49 -1 18:31:54 https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/3456 18:32:19 er.. just seems unnecessary and would introduce issues. 18:32:25 yeah, if we were setting it up from scratch I wouldn't care... but it doesn't seem to have any gain for the redirect and hassle pain. 18:33:29 anything else from anyone? 18:33:30 actually I would say it isn't our call. 18:33:37 smooge: oh? 18:34:09 the webteams and websites would seem a better place to say they would like it or not. 18:34:35 yeah, although they are kinda a subset of us... 18:34:42 oh I thought they were different 18:34:43 I just don't see the gain. 18:34:54 I don't either.. it would also break probably a lot of authentication 18:35:19 or maybe not.. 18:35:40 we would have to maintain redirects. 18:35:48 and really, I dont want anymore of those... 18:36:43 ok, let me light the fuse then... 18:36:52 Thanks for coming everyone! 18:37:03 #endmeeting
