Shivi is missing today ._.
TALKS
- TJ giving a talk tomorrow about Tor and the dark web; posters ready, not yet posted.
- Scaled down the pizza order by a lot.
- Good for the talk series
- Next week (10/2) is Moon Bash.
- Bring componium to NSH 3002 and screen demos
- gdr can talk to mdille while he's in-town about where to find new demos to screen
SPONSORSHIP
- Aptiv is going to donate $2000 - haven't heard anything more
- Cadence Design Systems might also be interested
CLUB WEBSITE
- Need to update talk schedules and sponsors page.
- tparenti can remove Harris as old sponsor
- Updating schedule is a little more work.
- "Karen" keeps emailing us about a broken qmail link
- We'll fix this by pointing to archive.org, rather than her (corporate suggestion)
CLUB PROJECTS
- People didn't show up last week; people were busy after TOC, but also we didn't send an email
- tjjohans and gdr should plan ahead, and be more forward
- Demo-writing stuff is halted at the moment because componium has been down
- gdr will work on trying to get that up by Saturday
B6 6.99999999… OPERATIONS
- tjjohans needs an /admin principal
- virt upgrades on 9/14 and 9/21 largely went well
- Some warnings on AFS versions being too new
- Some Shibboleth nonsense was making Contrib angry every few hours
- Issue has been papered over for now, but probably should be investigated more fully
- TODO - focus on the trash cart
Last production machines from Rack 5 are out. Only power and network remain, which are tied into Rack 3, which only has the one set of NetApp filers.
- Need to clean build storage-05 and eventually rebuild storage4 to get them on club infra
- Looking forward, later we can start pressing again on getting virt-hp-w into the offsite machine room
