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/20071120.
== Review ACTION points from previous meeting == zul wrote a wiki page detailing his plans for Xen in the next release: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenInHardy. The blueprint can be tracked in Launchpad at https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/xen-hardy. soren sent an email to debian-devel about the mta meta-package proposal. The thread turned into a discussion about which mta (postfix or exim) should be the default. ACTION: soren will try to send another email about it. == sudo bug discussion == dendrobates raised the issue that some server installations wouldn't create a user that has sudo powers. Some reviews ran into that bug. The forums also have some threads about it. dendrobates and nijaba tried to reproduce the problem, but were not successful. There are a couple of bugs in LP: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/user-setup/+bug/158952 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/user-setup/+bug/162638 dendrobates asked if people could do various test installs to check if this bug can be reproduced. If so, please comment on one of the above bug. == Hardy community projects == dendrobates asked for help on the Ruby On Rails specification: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/rubyonrails. The scpecification is being written in the wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RubyOnRailsStack. lionel volunteered to take a look at it since he has some experience with RoR. He will contact david to start working on the draft. mathiaz stated that he could be the approver, but the spec needs to be written and approved by Thursday to get it included in Hardy. Anyone interested in improving the Ruby on Rails stack for Ubuntu should comment on this spec. ivoks, sommer and dantalizing offered some help for the implementation. ACTION: lionel will contact david to write the ruby-on-rails spec. == JeOS support/documentation for gutsy, plans for hardy == nealmcb started to talk about JeOS (Just Enough Operating System). A long discussion followed. It seems that people are confused about what JeOS can be used for. The first issue identified was lack of documentation. nijaba stated that he will write a tutorial about using JeOS to build a virtual appliance providing a web application. ACTION: nijaba will write a tutorial about JeOS. An important source of confusion is the difference between the script used to produce a customized virtual image (or iso) and the customization made to Ubuntu to run as a guest. nealmcb suggested to create a launchpad team and a mailing list for users and developers of JeOS. ACTION: mathiaz will answer nealmcb post on ubuntu-server. == Review each section of the ServerTeam/Roadmap == ivoks gave an update about integrating postfix and dovecot: to goal is to replace saslauthd with dovecot. This means adding 1 or 2 lines to postfix configuration when dovecot is installed. There was some discussion about how this should be done. mathiaz suggested to file a bug against dovecot to track work being done on this. sommer mentioned that the documentation has been updated to use Dovecot SASL. ACTION: ivoks will file a bug about this and will start working on the packaging bits. mathiaz mentioned the state of fastcgi. He wanted to know what were the advantage of mod-fcgid over mod-fastcgi. The next step is to write a MIR for mod-fcgid to get it included into main. ACTION: ivoks will write a MIR for mod-fcgid. == Other business == dholbach mentioned the sponsoring queue for server packages: http://people.ubuntu.com/~dholbach/sponsoring/. soren pointed out the list of pending sru: http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html. There's a few server packages on there that need testing before they can make their way to -updates. mathiaz also noted that the focus of the development team is currently on merges. == Next Meeting == mathiaz asked if another meeting was needed in one week (instead of every other week). The answer was positive. The time has also been pushed back by one hour (due to DST). The next meeting will be hold on Tuesday, November the 27th, at 16:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting. -- Mathias -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
