Hi, Here are the minutes of the meeting. They can also be found online, with the irc logs, here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/Server/20080123.
== Review ACTION points from previous meeting == nealmcb added an ebox entry to the factoids. He reminded people that other suggestions for the factoids are welcome and they should contact him. ACTION: zul will add a section in the Roadmap about the state of Xen in hardy. == Review each section of the ServerTeam/Roadmap == === Status about JeOS tutorial and server guide === nijaba gave a link to the JeOS tutorial published in linux magazine [1]. He added that the article should not be made available anywhere else on the web during the next 3 months. After that we're free to do whatever we want with it. The Hardy Server guide should be released after the 3 month period, although the development version would be publicly available before. nijaba suggested to include the tutorial in the server guide. [1]: http://www.linux-mag.com/id/4829 sommer started a virtualization section in the server guide, based on the JeOS tutorial content. === KVM Virtualization in Hardy === soren created a wiki page [2] outlining KVM based virtualization in Hardy. He also blogged about it [3]. He uploaded KVM version 60. The main improvement is that I/O inside KVM will be massively faster. The next step is to update libvirt, virtmanager and virtinst to also support it. dendrobates asked if a KVM option in tasksel should be added. soren will look into that. dendrobates asked soren to do an interview for the Ubuntu Weekly News about KVM virtualization in Hardy. ACTION: soren will do an UWN interview about virtualization. boredandblogging will get in touch with soren about it. [2]: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KvmVirtManagerEtc [3]: http://warma.dk/blog/article/86/ === JeOS improvements === soren fixed lvm2 in the JeOS installer. ubuntugeek asked if the lsi scsi driver will be included in Hardy so that JeOS can be run on vmware ESX. soren checked if the driver was included and came back with a positive answer. === Apache default SSL configuration and SNI support === sommer gave a quick update about SSL configuration in Apache. The Debian maintainer commented on his proposal for a default SSL configuration [4]. They'd rather wait for SNI support to be in included in apache2.2. [4]: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=267477 mathiaz pointed to LP bug 184131 [5] used to track SNI support in apache. There is a patch attached to the Apache bug for the 2.2 branch. He suggested that a package with SNI support could be made available through a PPA so that it can get tested. dendrobates wondered how testing should be tracked. mathiaz suggested to use a wiki page to list which browser+platform have been covered. ACTION: mathiaz will upload an apache2 package with SNI enabled to his PPA and organise the test plan. [5]: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2/+bug/184131 === MIR process for server related packages === nijaba asked ivoks about the state of drbd. ivoks explained that there's an effort to move drbd into vanilla kernel, and he doubts we will see drbd in vanilla kernel before 2.6.28. However there is a patch available for 2.6.24. zul suggested it could be included in linux-ubuntu-modules, which seems easier to achieve as drbd is just a module. ACTION: ivoks will send a link to zul for the drbd patch and zul will contact BenC to see if the drbd module could be included in linux-ubuntu-modules. nijaba was surprised by the rejection of bacula, rsnapshot and arpwatch. There are also 6 packages left on the ServerPackageReview list [6]. ACTION: zul will look into the rejected packages (bacula, rsnapshot, arpwatch) and the rest of the packages. [6]: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerPackageReview === Windows authentication integration === dendrobates gave a quick update about the likewise integration: the gui has recently been changed to gtk, it is being repackaged now and will be in universe next week. Once uploaded dendrobates will send an email to ubuntu-server to ask for more testing. === LDAP integration === dendrobates said there wasn't any progress made on the client authentication front. On the server front mathiaz announced that openldap 2.4 has been uploaded to debian and synced in ubuntu. soren added that although the package name was 2.3, it really is 2.4 - this is done so that transition is easier. Packages that link against openldap2.1 libraries are updated. === LTS upgrade test tracking === soren thought about a plan to track LTS upgrade tests. dendrobates suggested to share his secret ideas with mvo. ACTION: soren will share his ideas about LTS upgrade tracking with mvo. === PostgreSQL 8.3 included in Hardy === leonel asked if PostgreSQL 8.3 will be included in hardy. soren answered that it will be the case. The switch should be done in the next few days, as pitti already did so in Debian unstable. PostgreSQL 8.3 RC2 should be the default postgresql installation in a few days in hardy. === Dovecot Postfix SASL integration === ivoks explained that this effort was stalled. He needs to talk with lamont about it. == Agree on next meeting date and time == Next meeting will be on Wednesday, January 30th at 21:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting. -- Mathias -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
