Present: davidwboswell (David Boswell), gjm (Gerry Murphy), silfreed (Doug Warner)
Discussion was held publically in #mozdev
Discussed developer priorities
- working on the UI to allow project owners to verify and release their downloads and extensions
- working on mockups for a project overview page that would contain the publicly available downloads
- trying to cleanup the queries used on D.MD.o
- reduce CPU usage a bit by throwing users to a random mirror for update requests instead of their best mirror
- able to speed up the query that gave users their best mirror
- the extension list and tagged projects for an application are now merged into one list that shows both
- notified POs that the Apache upgrade will be happening March 31st and helping POs prepare for that
Discussed sysadmin priorities
- stats processing is up to date and the cause of the backlog is being addressed
- more spam blocks are in place
- there's a problem w/ spamassassin dying and letting spam through but the cause hasn't been found yet
- thinking about discarding all spam to lists that has a high spam score
Firefox 3 release
- mycroft is currently the biggest bottleneck when mass updates happen
- we should focus on helping them get static updates provided
- mycroft and downloads might have problems with updates not going through their scripts because stats will no longer be counted
Staging server migration
SSL Cert renewal
- new cert is in place for 02/2008 - 03/2009
Protected wiki for sysadmin docs
- server docs were setup on a protected wiki page that only "mozdev" people can view/edit
- we can setup perms per-page on the www wiki or setup a protected wiki on admin
Per-project databases
- we don't know what projects currently have access to mysql
- projects currently can't configure db access w/o exposing the password
- need to work to move projects w/ existing mysql access to their own dbs and then work on improving the policy to allow general access
