But I got an very good offer for an mirror of it, which I allready asked if it could become the primary "mirror". Once this is settled, I want the hostname to be changed to de Jeroen van Wolffelaar is hosting the source server, which he and me can access via ssh/scp. dc5video.debian.net rsyncs from that host. One core problem at debconf5 was the video raid or rather the connection to it: the videoraid was not in the same LAN as the video editing machines. For debconf6 we definitly need a videoraid (with 2TB ?!) in the local LAN. And those workflow enhancements you describe below. And then we can rsync stuff from there to Jeroens machine (if that stays like this til then.) > It is loosly realated to > debconf5. you meant 6 ? > 1.

I want personal user accounts on every video machine via ldap. I want nfs and gigabit-lan between editing machines and raid. I also want laptops with gigabit. And 80gb local harddiscs. I saved all of /etc on every machine and we have some bits in FAI. I want to have a working FAI setup (at least for the clients) before debconf6. Do you agree ? Disagree ? Anything else ? > 2.

Or were two enough and is this a matter of workflow / shifts ? IMHO we should aim for more people and more shifts, i.e. editing while taping new talks... Do we need extra number crunching machines to convert files from one format into the other ? > I wish we could have some creative flamewars... :-) regards, Holger
