[tor-project] minutes from the sysadmin meeting

[Antoine Beaupré]

Hi!

Here's your monthly dose of quality sysadmin updates.

# Roll call: who's there and emergencies

anarcat, gaba, kez, lavamind

# Q1 prioritisation

Discuss the priorities for the remaining month, consider Q2.

Donate page, Ganeti "dal" cluster and the Discourse self-hosting are
the priorities.

Completing the bullseye upgrades and converting the installers to
bookworm would be nice, alongside pushing some proposals ahead (email,
gitolite, etc).

# Dashboard review

We reviewed the dashboards like in our usual per-user check-in:

# Early vacation planning

We went over people's planned holidays and things look okay, not too
much overlap. Don't forget to ask for your holidays in advance as per
the handbook.

Obviously, the planned date is incorrect. We are lagging behind on the
hard core of ~10 machines that are trickier to upgrade.
