Want a page with all the info we gave on the whiteboard to direct users to i.e.: digitize the whiteboard to the wiki. kedo will do this. Appeal budget - due tomorrow! 5 pm 5% increase across the board for all groups Printing costs likely to increase 25-50% in the near future We have tripled our number of active users in the past semester (see mid-year report for more information: http://docs.ocf.berkeley.edu/wiki/Finances) Check-in with server-specific admins All quiet. OpenAPI visiting today: ---see forwarded email Representative from OpenAPI present. Wants a linux machine to run NodeJS, mpm, MongoDB, Django, MySQL.

Needs Node/Mongo setup because of existing codebase, plans to eventually move to Django/MySQL exclusively.

Options: - Install Node/Mongo on new-death - Bring up a dedicated VM with a public IP - This requires many more formalities (declarations of responsibility, etc.)

BoD Decision: Too much to discuss. Tabled. Will explore possibilities between now and next BoD. Would rather not give them a whole VM if we can avoid it at all.

Plan: Attempt to run NodeJS as a user, set up a MongoDB VM that will only run it as a service, to be accessed over the network; no ssh.

What's up with...? Upgrade check (lab machines) - tell sm;s to update (mssh). Schedule upgrades for servers as appropriate Death ntpd Blackhole - cron.weekly - man-db Writing cron checks for services used - for server administration (Discuss with Dara, SMs training date for puppet and manual server administration stuff) mysql update Happened.

SM Decrees Reminder New decrees: 1. Root staff must be on the #rebuild channel, and they must read the chat history at leasy once a day. Rationale: - It's easier to troubleshoot over irc than over email - People somtimes say things that are worth knowing, but they might not bother pasting it into email Not really, just read your email a lot.

1. Please email wheel@ocf or staff@ocf before you restart servers. This is kinda included in my "please email before making technical changes" decree, but I just wanted to make sure everyone knew that restarting a machine is included. Rationale:
2. Restarting is fun and easy as long as the machine starts back up...
3. People are too lazy to temporarily disable zabbix/mon to perform maintenence :3

Other Things:

OCF Staff Banquet - There will be an email.

Cal Day - There will be more discussion on this.

Printing - There is a page on the wiki now: http://wiki.ocf.berkeley.edu/printing/ - Please direct people here that want refunds, more pages, etc. (but be polite about it)
