## Matters arising previously
- [BOB] 20210110 IPSec VPN status
  - ACTION: [BOB] to take a look at it
- [TEC] Discord Bot --- https://gitlab.ucc.asn.au/UCC/discord-bot
  - Rustacians, please lend a bit of your time to take a look
  - ACTION: [THA] to get off his derrière
- [MPT] UCC IMAP mail shows no mail
  - Dovecot and postfix disagree on inbox location between /var/mail/user and ~user/mail/INBOX
  - Unclear if this only happens when account is initially created with forwarding?
  - Fixed with `mv ~user/mail/INBOX /var/mail/user; chgrp mail /var/mail/user; ln -s /var/mail/user ~user/mail/INBOX` on mailfish
  - ACTION: [MPT] to take a look before the next meeting
- [TPG] Idea: Potential digital O-Day?
  - Pre-O-day idea: QR codes with (link to) video tour of (and walk to) clubroom?
  - [MTL] found Chaos Computer Club used this recently for rc3
    - https://github.com/thecodingmachine/workadventure
  - [MPT] Would still be worth setting up for future use
  - [MPT] Mobile networks in the area ground to a halt on O-Day
      - Future solutions need to be on devices that UCC controls, such as tablets supplied by UCC. Easy for volunteers to carry around (like clipboards)
  - [333] to add to wiki
- ACTION: [MPT] to look at `meetings.ucc.asn.au`: broken, reporting a nginx 404?
  - Done
- ACTION: [333] re-run `john` password checker and properly finish the job
  - I still need to do re-run, sorry!
- ACTION: [333] to rotate some more IPMI passwords, making sure to let wheel know as a heads-up
  - In progress
- ACTION: [333] To identify alternatives to AWS for hosting cloud-mooneye
  - In progress
- ACTION: [MTL] to look at uccpass and see if a nice report on password age can be generated
  - done! `uccpass age` 2021-02-21
- ACTION: Still TODO: [MTL] to look at UCC web reverse proxies
  - unknown
- ACTION: [MPT] UWA IT liason: matrix test domain
  - unknown
- ACTION: [MPT] update https://wiki.ucc.asn.au/Network with latest traffic paths
  - not done
- ACTION: [TEC] to look at dashboards for murasoi network traffic
  - no progress since last meeting

## Extra items (rename/refile as appropriate)
- post-O-Day account locking
  - cleanup accounts e.g. `getent passwd|grep zv`, primary group memberships

- [TEC] Server rack cabinets
  - There is interest in revamping the clubroom this year
  - Replacing the machineroom shack would be good
  - Would also be good to show-off our hardware better (because it's cool!)
  - Air-cooled cabinets seem like the obvious choice...
    - Lockable
    - Glass front
    - Expensive new, but often available on a "free, take it away" basis
      - [333] e.g. Idea, that's probably wayyy out of our price range: https://www.zelladc.com/
  - [BOB] but we also use the machine room as a secure storage area
    - The machine room also makes the room "ours" and makes tenancy hesitant to move us

- [TEC] New servers from dadams (just remembered)
  - From the 2018 (I think?) UWA tech throw out
  - Was considering putting in Makers, too hard
  - Would like to be used, so thinking of lending to UCC
  - Would like to keep the option of pulling them out at some point in the future
  - ACTION: [TEC] (or poke dadams) to email the lists with tech specs

- The backup server:
  - ACTION: [NTU] the previously budgetted 3.5" bulk backup drive purchase
    - and email proposal for how we can supplement and overlap with mollitz legacy backups
  - ACTION: [333] To do up email proposal to tech at ucc to replace Motsugo with the Cisco UCS (or something else), and use Motsugo to replace Mollitz
    - Bulk storage 3.5 inch drive purchase could still be part of this
