<p>Hi all tech folks,</p>
<p>My apologies, I forgot that a regular monthly commitment of mine
had been brought forward a week this month.</p>
<p>Having a look at the agenda, here's what I have to add:</p>
<ul>
<li>I haven't (either on my own or with [BRD]) contacted UWA IT
about IP addressing changes, either about routing new IPs or
unfirewalling the no-longer-in-use addresses that are currently
dead after the incident last year.</li>
<li>I completed (with help from [MTL]) the migration of UCC emails
away from using the UWA IronPort appliances to use
forwardemail.net inbound and direct sending outbound.</li>
<ul>
<li>This was coordinated with Daniel from UWA IT to correspond
with their shutdown of the IronPort service.</li>
</ul>
<li>I broke Mailfish (with help from [I2N], and thanks to [MTL]
for fixing it) by trying to install "jq" as a simple offshoot of
the above, and also by misreading the APT output.<br>
</li>
<li>I (virtually) met with Steven from UWA IT, who is currently
trying to "clean up" the UWA DNS zones, specifically the records
in their Infoblox appliances which serve on-campus authoritative
DNS.</li>
<ul>
<li>He had questions about the use of
(ucc|unigames|unisfa).(guild|gu).uwa.edu.au.</li>
<li>Reiterated that we still rely on GU.</li>
<li>TODO: Figure out what (if anything) is wanted with
(unigames|unisfa).(guild|gu).uwa.edu.au.<br>
</li>
<li>TODO: Figure out what our view on split DNS for internal vs
UWA vs external, and report back to Steven with our goals.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p>James [MPT]<i><br>
UCC Wheel Member</i><br>

====================================================

- Checklist follows:
- Clone a new issue from [[<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://gitlab.ucc.asn.au/UCC/tech-todo-list/-/issues/32">https://gitlab.ucc.asn.au/UCC/tech-todo-list/-/issues/32</a>]]
- Preferably immediately; then reopen it and assign it to yourself
- This issue is to keep track of any async secretarial duties detailed ahead
- Type `/clone` into the "Write a comment" box as a "quick action"
- Update the title to match today's date
- [ ] 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 previous or 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
## Optional items - choose at the start of the meeting
- [ ] Ethical guidelines
- [ ] Monitoring
- [ ] Backups
- [ ] Password rotations
- [ ] New members
- [ ] Quick check of ChangeLog
- [ ] Lessons learnt
## Current Action Items
- ACTION: [333] Research Proxmox Backup Appliance - should fit in well with our existing PVE environment.
- ACTION: [MPT] and [BRD] draft an email about IPs.
- ACTION: [MPT] organise meeting about Guild Subdomains and drag [GPO] and others along for the future
- ACTION: [I2N] will add libcrack/haveibeenpwned API to `ucc-adduser`
- ACTION: [MPT] and [BRD] to email UWA IT about unfirewalling firewalled IPs, as they're not blocking anything useful, it's just inconvenient at this point.
- ACTION: After O-Day (April), do network shenanigans. (next wheel meeting)
- ACTION: [333] and [GPO] to read up on Ceph shenanigans and PVE in-place upgrade documentation.
### Boilerplate
- Now maintained in GitLab at [[<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://gitlab.ucc.asn.au/UCC/tech-todo-list/-/issues/">https://gitlab.ucc.asn.au/UCC/tech-todo-list/-/issues/</a>]]
- 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
### Action items to discuss
## Known Broken Stuff
- Debian upgrade kills mailman
- Mailman is dead, long live mailman3
- We should look into upgrading to mailman3, and look at porting our homebrew patches for mailmail3.
- We shouldn't be using things that use python2 now that it is no longer supported either.
## Matters arising previously
## Extra items (rename/refile as appropriate)
*Meeting closed HH:MM*
