[tor-project] minutes from the sysadmin meeting

[Antoine Beaupré]

# Roll call: who's there and emergencies

No emergencies, some noises in Karma because of TLS monitoring
misconfigurations.

- anarcat
- groente
- lavamind
- lelutin (late)
- zen

Note: we could have the star of the week responsible for calling and
facilitating meetings, instead of always having anarcat do it.

# Dashboard review

Normal per-user check-in:

* https://gitlab.torproject.org/groups/tpo/-/boards?scope=all&utf8=%E2%9C%93&assignee_username=anarcat

Note: ~"First contribution" labels issues that are good for people
looking for small, bite-sized chunks of easy work. It is used across
GitLab, but especially in the `tpo/web` namespace.

# Roadmap review

Review priorities for October and the quarter. Here are the focuses of people in the team:

- lavamind: web issues (build times, search boxes, share buttons),
  then Puppet 7 server upgrade, possibly Ganeti cluster upgrades after
- anarcat and groente will focus on mail (mailman 3 and SRS,
  respectively)
- lelutin will focus on finishing high priority work in the phase B of
  the Prometheus roadmap
- zen will focus on the Nextcloud work and merge roadmap

# Next meeting

In the next meeting, we'll need to work on:

- holidays shift rotations planning
- roadmap 2025 brainstorming and elaboration
