BACK TO 2016 WINTER DEV MEETING NOTES PAGE

Sysadmin

Tor has currently some 40 machines. Some of them will disappear in the future. We need to figure out ways of how to replace them.

• Is there a budget on this? Right now there is no budget, but that might come
• There are some machines were noone knows who uses them and what is their purpose. Maybe kill them?
• future services which were requested
  • mail 
  • DotTor
  • Sandstorm
  • Mumble (there is a VM which isn't used for a year)
• TBB has now lots of users, which download the software. The bandwidth is nowadays quite much. Goal: move it to a CDN. Maybe Fastly is the solution. weasel is in talks with them.
  • naif knows some persons which work in data centers.
  • Could Mozilla help? Shari could go into talks with several executives
  • Nick offered also ressources in Calyx
  • Maybe only do updates via Fastly
  • Will we loose the user numbers if we move to Fastly? Question: What do we need? Currently one sees the redirects. Maybe that's sufficient.
  • Do we need the metrics and for what? 
• Greenhost does hosting for OTF and DrWhax offered VMs.
• Linus (Sunet) also offered VMs. Bandwidth is not a problem here.

LDAP

• we run ud-ldap
• user can make some settings
• maybe changes: ldap pw == user pw == sudo pw; this should be changed

Mail

• deal with all the users (spam, back/restore etc.)
• central place were some "agency" can have a look
• Policy: If you have a .forward, which places are OK
