roadmap/2022.md

+This page documents the mid-term plan for TPA in the year 2022.
+
+Previous [roadmaps](roadmap) were done in a quarterly and yearly basis, but
+starting this year we are using the [OKR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OKR) system to establish,
+well, Objectives and Key Results. Those objectives are set for a 6
+months period, so they cover two quarters and are therefore
+established reviewed twice a year.
+
+# Objectives and Key Results
+
+Each heading below here is an objective and the items below are key
+results that will allow us to measure whether the objectives were met
+mid-year 2022. As a reminder, those are supposed to be ambitious: we
+do not expect to do everything here and instead aim for the 60-70%
+mark.
+
+## Improve mail services
+
+ 1. David doesn't complain about "mail getting into spam" anymore
+ 2. RT is not full of spam
+ 3. we can deliver and receive mail from state.gov
+
+## Retire old services
+
+ 1. SVN is retired and people are happy with the replacement
+ 2. establish a plan for gitolite/gitweb retirement
+ 3. retire schleuder in favor of ... official Signal groups?
+    ... mailman-pgp? RFC2549 with one-time pads?
+
+## Cleanup and publish the sysadmin code base
+
+ 1. sanitize and publish the Puppet git repository
+ 2. implement basic CI for the Puppet repository and use a MR workflow
+ 3. deploy dynamic environments on the Puppet server to test new features
+
+## Upgrade to Debian 11 "bullseye"
+
+ 1. all machines are upgraded to bullseye
+ 2. migrate to Prometheus for monitoring (or upgrade to Inciga 2)
+ 3. upgrade to Mailman 3 or retire it in favor of Discourse (!)
+
+## Provision a new, trusted high performance cluster
+
+ 1. establish a new PoP on the US west coast with trusted partners and hardware ($$)
+ 2. retire moly and move the DNS server to the new cluster
+ 3. reduce VM deployment time to one hour or less (currently 2 hours)
+
+## Non-objectives
+
+Those things will *not* be done during the specified time frame:
+
+ * LDAP retirement
+ * static mirror system retirement
+ * new offsite backup server
+ * complete email services (e.g. mailboxes)
+ * search.tpo/SolR
+ * web metrics
+ * user survey
+ * stop global warming
+
+# How those were established
+
+The goals were set based on a brainstorm by anarcat but that was also
+based on roadmap items from the [2021 roadmap](roadmap/2021) that were not
+completed. We have not ran a survey this year around, because we still
+haven't responded to everything that was told the last time. It was
+also felt that the survey takes a long time to process (for us) and
+respond to (for everyone else).
+
+The OKRs were actually approved in [TPA-RFC-13](policy/tpa-rfc-13-okrs-for-roadmap) after a discussion
+in a [meeting](meeting/2021-10-07) as well. See also [issue 40439](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/issues/40439) and the
+[establish the 2022 roadmap milestone](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/milestones/11).
