golinux 🔼

  • New wiki irc channel #devuan-wiki
  • Made some updates to d.o. Evilham's set up is working well.
  • Install isos till jessie EOL?
  • (~parazyd) yes.

blinkdog 🔼

parazyd 🔼

  • attending
  • updating ascii roadmap as i'm going

sherdlu 🔼

  • welcoming him in the circle, nice introduction
  • running debian since 1998 also on large clusters

rrq 🔼

  • has access to newtonia and can install the ganeti on it
  • (~parazyd) let me know if you need help. katolaz said debootstrap wasn't working. i can help as i have it working on the cluster i've set up

jaromil 🔼

  • trying to setup a new vpn node with builders here (armel, armhf, amd64, and amd64) but the setup doesn't work (vpn connects but
  network is not established)
* need help from Daniel to figure this out (was setup on o'beardly)
* newtonia: what to do? time is ticking as 50$ a month without use is a burden

centuriondan 🔼

  • concerns about centralisation of governance in dyne
  • agreement on enlarging the lead group with a community process
  • agreement on enhancing the infrastructure and bringing it out of nextime's
  • no access to the vpn node is a problem because we cannot add CI nodes
  • newtonia: so far frustrating to reach consensus on a firewalling setup

tremon 🔼

  • another debian refugee among us! welcome
  • sw dev and infra maintainance
  • working on a buildbot infra using gitlab CI for unit testing
  • hooking into the gitlab CI process for building
  • working on debian packaging for a new buildbot version
  • buildbot is an interesting new alternative to jenkins with less features

Priorities 🔼

  • VPN is the thing to unblock ASAP since that is blocking the build of ascii packages
  • how do we proceed on extending the leadership?
  • nominations? parazyd, katolaz, evilham
  • written nominations on the devuan-dev list
  • observation: extending to 5 with unactive 1 is de-facto 4 governance so there is the suggestion to elect 5 active people.
  • we should select the leadership by consensus
  • need to setup an rsync push of /devuan/dists from dak to pkgmaster (final task for pkgmaster) this should be setup the same way /devuan/pool is being pushed
  • (~parazyd) what is the time interval of (rsync) pushes for this job?

Discussion 🔼

  • Review and pick up tasks you can discuss/solve
  • Feel free to start a new thread on devuan-dev@ regarding to a task

jaromil 🔼

  • ralph is granted root access to newtonia, tasked to be setup with ganeti and to reason on consolidating the setup around the two servers on soyou

sherdlu 🔼

  • notices the concern on the leadership impasse and agrees to extend the leadership
  • web presence sometimes is repetitive, list of releases for instance in too many places as an outsider is confusing.
  • consistency on the website should be addressed as there are too many places to go, no "central" place.

golinux 🔼

  • confirms the confusion on information that sherdlu addresses, also on git for materials

centuriondan 🔼

  • important to sign commits on git to enforce security cryptographically

blinkdog 🔼

  • welcoming blinkdog! programmer with good experience in the field
  • chatting about code that can get attention: scorsh, d1h, package explorer...

fsr 🔼

  • going to issue a new gpg key and a revocation of the old one

tremon 🔼

  • see above
