- ACTION: [???] shall be this meeting's secretary! This entails recording minutes for
    meeting n (beware mid-meeting glitches) and ensuring meeting n+1 reminders succeed:
  - Copying the following checklist into a new issue under [[https://gitlab.ucc.asn.au/UCC/tech-todo-list/-/issues]] (or clone #32) , and assigning it to yourself.
    - This is to keep track of any async secretarial duties detailed ahead. See our new Action Items section below.
  - [ ] ACTION: Save and commit the minutes of today's meeting, during the meeting; and at the end
  - [ ] ACTION: Set and (later) verify reminders of next meeting:
    - [ ] Promptly update agenda.next with the TIME/DATE/VENUE
    - [ ] Perform initial curation of agenda.next, and move any longstanding action items out of it and into GitLab (see Action Items section below)
    - [ ] Update the crontab: `motsugo# crontab -e`
    - [ ] Check at T-7days that the notice really went out, fix for T-4days if needed
- [ ] Everyone, before next meeting: Curate `agenda.next`, and move any items you think should be tracked as GitLab issues into GitLab issues, as above

## Current Action Items
### Boilerplate
- Now maintained in GitLab at [[https://gitlab.ucc.asn.au/UCC/tech-todo-list/-/issues/]]
- Briefly discuss anything in here that's worth discussing, but don't spend too long rehashing unresolved issues that have already been discussed ;)
- Going forward:
  - New actions: when new ACTION items arise, put them in the minutes once, but add to GitLab
  - Ongoing actions: don't keep them in the agenda, unless they definitely need to be discussed in the next meeting
  - Completed actions: mention in the agenda that it's been completed, and and briefly discuss if need be
- Try to keep meeting chaired and flowing quickly, then finish up and try to ACTION some items
  - e.g. we're here to occasionally take stock and unblock things, not _make_ useful things wait until meeting n+1
    - too many attendance-or-apologies-expected meetings are draining, c.f. UCCCleanup busybees
  - e.g. briefly commiserate that our systems for keeping things up-to-date suck, but then get to it

### Action items to discuss

## Known Broken Stuff
- `ucc-adduser-ad` can't be allowed to get too slow or flakey with optional parts, but... bulk actions should happen soon
  - via: `/services/uccdnsci/webdeploy-reload` and similar?
  - `mooneye:/etc/bind/domains/primary/zonemake.py`
  - `mussel:systemctl restart apache2' on mussel`
  - `mailfish:/home/other/mailman/adduser/$NEWUSER` subscribe-to-list (not ucc-announce): https://lists.ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/ucc
- https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=rb44is9l4dftsnk6lmf1qske6g%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=Australia%2FPerth
  - repopulate? replace?
- [NTU] discord #events -> #announcements tweaking has broken who can post to it from IRC
  - https://discord.com/channels/264401248676085760/264401248676085760/956394160640884766
  - can we check/fix bidirectional bridging of that channel?
  - ensure dd discord-irc bot (via webhook) can post to #announcements
  - what roles are missing the "Manage Event" permission? https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/4409494125719-Scheduled-Events#h_01FGJENQGRMPEPJCTCP2KGADQV
  - discord-irc is freshly upgraded, thanks [TRS] @2022-03-23
    - https://gitlab.ucc.asn.au/UCC/tech-todo-list/-/issues/16

## Matters arising previously
- Routine upgrades
  - Trying to get to a baseline of Debian 11
    - and even that needs a round of upgrade+reboot
  - unpackaged/unmanaged stuff...

## Extra items (rename/refile as appropriate)
