19:01:57 <nirik> morning everyone.
19:02:04 <nirik> #topic New folks introductions and Apprentice tasks.
19:02:09 <frankieonuonga> morning to you
19:02:17 <nirik> any new folks? or apprentices with questions or comments?
19:02:22 <frankieonuonga> it is however night time for me in nbi
19:02:31 <nirik> I'll note that I have been slow to send out the monthly apprentice email. Will send later today.
19:02:44 <anshprat> I am done with askbot stg , now working on packaging . Its done and tested on epel
19:02:53 <anshprat> need to do it on fedora / rawhide
19:03:11 <mirek> I have question, can I do something as apprentice in cloud?
19:03:27 <anshprat> I am kinda hardpressed for time these days, so any apprentice help would be great..
19:03:33 <nirik> anshprat: cool. thanks for working on it. ;)
19:03:43 <mirek> I have openstack workshop done, so I thought that I can do some small task in cloud
19:03:44 <nirik> mirek: not sure what you mean? what sort of thing?
19:03:52 <nirik> ah, work on the cloud itself?
19:04:07 <mirek> yes
19:04:17 <ausmarton> I need help in picking a task.
19:04:47 <anshprat> ausmarton: wanna help me out? :D
19:05:15 <ausmarton> yeah, I think I can.
19:05:23 <anshprat> maybe we should do something like pair programming in apprenticeship as well :)
19:05:35 <anshprat> ausmarton: great, thanks, ping you after meeting in #fedora-apps
19:05:35 <nirik> mirek: well, I need to figure out how to setup access better. There's several people interested in helping with cloud stuff. Also, not clear what tasks we need done right now, but we could try and make a list. ;) so, yes, help welcome, just need to organize it more.
19:07:02 <mirek> nirik: I definitelly should be able to add and remove volumes, which otherwise you have to do :)
19:07:34 <nirik> mirek: yeah, the way we have things setup thats a task done by root on lockbox01 tho...
19:07:48 <nirik> so we need to figure out how to setup access better
19:08:19 <nirik> but I can try and work on that...
19:08:29 <mirek> nirik: no problem, no rush. I can file tickets as well. But if you figure somthing I can off load some work from you.
19:08:47 <nirik> yeah, thanks much.
19:09:09 <nirik> #topic Applications status / discussion
19:09:18 <nirik> any applications news/status/plans?
19:10:11 <mirek> Copr is publicly announced, and open to everybody with FAS account. And officially supported. Well supported just by me. So I want to start worki
19:10:12 <mirek> ng on flipping it to standard infra component
19:10:37 <nirik> cool. How much uptake have you seen? I've seen builders being spawned. ;)
19:11:00 * robyduck late, sorry
19:11:23 <nirik> no worries.
19:11:32 <mirek> nirik: it is iddling right now
19:11:48 <nirik> #info coprs is announced. Work will be ongoing to move it to a more standard application setup
19:12:18 <mirek> but several projects and user has appear in last few hours, so I will watch the trend
19:12:21 <nirik> There's been some work on mailman3/hyperkitty... we remade the staging instance today, so hopefully we are close now to being able to do a prod instance.
19:12:43 <nirik> mirek: yeah, will be good to see how popular it is. Might also do a blog post or a devel-announce post on it?
19:13:01 <mirek> I want to ask - can I have postgresdb on standard fedora server?
19:13:35 <mirek> nirik: I sent it just to devel. I want to make bigger rush, once we accept it as part of infrastructure
19:14:12 <nirik> mirek: currently we have 1 large pgsql server that all the various applications use. We don't do db's on application servers usually.
19:14:16 <nirik> sounds reasonable.
19:14:36 <mirek> also I would like to have some nicer domain. probably cnamed to current one, is it possible
19:15:09 <mirek> copr have in db, just names of projects and small data for each build, so that db is quite small. and will be small.
19:15:11 <nirik> in infra we were trying to move apps to use 'apps.fedoraproject.org/appname' but some aren't yet
19:15:37 <nirik> and yeah we could do another domain (if it's available), but we have to go thru legal and such
19:16:18 <mirek> I meant somethin under fedoraproject.org. e.g. copr.fedoraproject.org
19:16:20 * nirik guesses most of the other application folks are not present today. :)
19:16:26 <mirek> but ok, I will try to move it to apps
19:16:27 <nirik> ah, yeah, we can do that...
19:16:41 <nirik> we never decided if it was going to be a hard rule or not.
19:16:57 <nirik> one advantage is that if you login one place you could share the auth cookie for another app
19:17:15 <anshprat> yeah, pretty quiet in here today!
19:17:23 <mirek> and db... from what I seen that db stuff is indepenent from application. all apps have cname for its db server, even if it is still same box
19:17:44 <mirek> so I assumed that we can move db in one step and app in another
19:17:44 <nirik> yep. we talked about splitting them out someday, but haven't.
19:18:05 <nirik> I still need to look at replication setups and see if we can do some replication.
19:18:48 <nirik> any other application news?
19:18:52 <abadger1999> yeah -- with openid, single sign on shouldn't depend on being under apps.fp.o anymore
19:18:57 <nirik> mirek: oh, is there any movement on koji integration yet?
19:19:03 <nirik> abadger1999: yeah.
19:19:46 <abadger1999> Sortof a non-news from me
19:19:58 <mirek> nirik: little - mclean and james are working on haveing namespaces in koji. I did not start working on my parts yet, as I have still lots of work on this phase
19:19:58 <abadger1999> I have a ton of non-infra/non-coding work right now
19:20:14 <abadger1999> scls and fesco and new env and stack working group.
19:20:16 <nirik> mirek: understandable.
19:20:27 <nirik> abadger1999: yeah. ;(
19:20:31 <abadger1999> If anyone wants to help out with python-fedora or such, just let me know.
19:20:47 <nirik> Oh, one thing to note... well, several related things:
19:20:54 <anshprat> abadger1999: what all things in there?
19:21:01 <nirik> #info we are go for release next tuesday of F20beta
19:21:02 <abadger1999> I'll make time to get you up to speed on making a release/outstanding issues so I'm not a single point of failure.
19:21:37 <nirik> #info our next freeze will start on 2013-11-26
19:21:49 <nirik> so, not much time unfrozen.
19:21:53 <edgar_> What need to be done in python-fedora?
19:21:57 <abadger1999> anshprat: For python-fedora right now, we have an outstanding issue about how to integrate otp support.
19:22:04 <nirik> would be good to get ready for the unfreeze and land things we want to. :)
19:22:30 <abadger1999> anshprat: we also have an outstanding issue about newer flask changing what can be stored in sessions.
19:22:42 <abadger1999> Those two things need to be solved and then a new release made.
19:22:55 <edgar_> ok
19:22:59 <abadger1999> Talk to me in #fedora-apps after the meeting and I'll link you to the existing bugs and such.
19:23:08 <anshprat> abadger1999: alright
19:23:24 <nirik> cool. ;)
19:23:33 <nirik> #topic Sysadmin tasks/Discussion
19:23:43 <nirik> Not too much on the sysadmin side...
19:23:54 <nirik> fixed our volume issues on the openstack cloud finally.
19:24:23 <nirik> Found out that when you remove a volume it also dd's /dev/zero to it... which caused some problems when I nuked a 200GB volume.
19:24:33 <mirek> :)
19:24:43 <nirik> Got our new blade server finally up and happy with iscsi...
19:24:58 <nirik> Built a buildvm on it and ran some benchmarks.
19:24:58 <mirek> where some problems = half of the cloud goes down
19:25:14 <nirik> mirek: yeah. apparently they made it a config option in newer openstack...
19:25:15 * croberts waves
19:25:20 <croberts> sorry im late
19:25:24 <nirik> no problems
19:25:55 <nirik> nothing else too exciting to report on the sysadmin side. The usual new mailing lists, hosted projects, etc etc.

19:26:18 <nirik> https://apps.fedoraproject.org/calendar/list/infrastructure/

19:27:07 <croberts> reflecting those changes
19:27:15 <nirik> croberts: no problem.

19:28:08 <anshprat> nirik: which list gets *all* the infra tickets mail? I would like to get a daily digest I guess..
19:28:28 <smooge> are we looking at another week of freeze?
19:28:31 <nirik> anshprat: there's not one. It depends on components where they go
