- 8 disks have been bought, delivered and installed

the disks to be rejected

- we're now on the 3rd replacement and they keep being broken
o Status of buying disks for hosting location bytemark
- We received approval from the DPL for buying 4TB disks
- Mithrandir voluntered to get the first disk & coordinate installation
- once that's done and we've confirmed that the shelf can accept the
larger disks, we will purchase the other 24 disks.

- DACS config needs some cleanup in puppet to be more useful
- enrico volunteered for nm.debian.org being guinea pig for new
config
- alioth integration next up, preparation on alioth side done
Action: zobel to clean up config and do admin documentation
o debian.org mail move (sgran+Mithrandir)
- DDs with unclear mail settings got informed. no bounces received.
- given sufficient time (~one month), shouldn't worry too
much for breaking them.
- no progress has been made since DSA Sprint 2013
Action: sgran and Mithrandir to implement local part
extension handling when forwarding to mail to master,
putting aliases into puppet, then switching over MX.

o Bytemark move (zobel)
- hoster wants to move the blade center and the storage arrays to a
different datacenter

- Bytemark has been informed that move cannot occur in the weeks
surrounding or during DebConf13
Action: Bytemark will inform DSA Team about new date
o new ud status (luca)
- no new progress has been made since DSA Sprint 2013

more SPI projects (with DNSco) after the evaluation
Action: waiting on trial account
o commercial SSL/HTTPS certificates for debian.org (luca)
- some progress made in cooperation with Joerg Jaspert
Action: luca to follow up with gandi to initiate zone transfers
o moving ns4 away from orff.debian.org (weasel)
- goal is to move to bind 9.9 and inline autosigning
- blocked on having a recent-ish bind9 in unstable

test and evaluate with a zone that is not debian.org.

weasel mentioned lots of tickets are sitting in our RT queues and not
getting much attention and love. Appeal to fellow admins to look into
RT and pick up tickets.
It was pointed out that some of them do not need admin privileges to
fix or at least to significantly help. Maybe something for volunteers.
