Ongoing project update
o debian.org mail move status (tfheen, sgran)
- big move is done, cleanup work is needed, esp. to reduce the number of
mail-receiving hosts
- unsure at this point if big services like ftp-master & draghi will
stop accepting mail directly; starting with easier ones such as
gobby.d.o. Processing mail locally but not being open to the
internet is the agreed middle ground.
o openstack (sgran)
- Package version evaluation complete. Havana trial at work underway. d.o
deployment work plans started
o disks for beethoven (weasel, zobel)
- TK says they can't find any fault with the system; blame it to our
SATA disks not being enterprise-grade.
- Peter installed the box and it crashed again, with the controller
going AWOL
- This has consumed too much time; agreement to replace beethoven
early and reuse the disks.
- ACTION: zobel to look for beethoven replacement (rt #4724)
o disks for bytemark (tfheen)
- stalled, on the backburner due to other projects
- backup disks are getting full; needs reprioritisation
- ACTION: tfheen to do disks for bytemark

- no progress
o CDN plan (tfheen)
- DPL wants a larger discussion
- ACTION: tfheen to send an email to debian-project; Lucas to help
o ARM OOB status (zumbi)
- we now have serial console (via console servers) to the arm
machines hosted at ynic and arm.
- we don't have remote power; this is coming eventually.
o ARM Calxeda nodes plan/roadmap (zumbi)
- nothing new, waiting for the ARM sprint next month (14-17 Nov)
o Shipping of cyclades console servers

remote power for them.

certs in lieu'
