Discussion was held publically in #mozdev
Discussed developer priorities
- sick last week; didn't get a lot of stuff done
- mostly spent time fixing minor bugs with the new application/extension parsing
- started working on interface for managing download files (allowing public releases, verifying hashes) to get ready for secure installations
- for site reorganization I'm going to be working on getting a list of content put together in the wiki to see how it could be organized
- trying to figure out how to relieve some load from D.MD.o; best I can think of doing is disabling the new download tracking
- possibly disable the download tracking when server is over some specified threshold? possibly; will need to investigate
Discussed sysadmin priorities
- gjm was ill last week
- tanker helped fix permissions on project
Firefox 3 release
- looking for ideas to get our server through the update cycle that goes along with a release
- disable services dynamically under load
- offload some services to vebzom.org
- migrate postfix/mailman/bugzilla to another server
- looking up an IP's mirror is a heavy operation; silfreed might look into caching these results
- we need a better understanding of how much a user hits our site when performing updates; silfreed will analyze log files
Mailman defaults
- we'll change the defaults for new lists and point people to the wiki page if they need to reduce their list management time
Staging server migration
- proposal still needs typed
- OSUOSL admins say it would be possible to have a second [physical] machine hosted there
Dealing with newsgroups
- gjm worked with Pete to get newsgroup creation scripted, tested, and ready to integrate with project creation scripts. still needs implemented
