Hello, here are the minutes of today's heroes meeting: jitsi: - test package is building - test installation will probably be updated next week - meet.o.o can currently only have SUSE admins because it's used for SUSE-internal meetings - meet-test.o.o server can have community admins (use one of the *.infra.o.o VMs as jump host for ssh login) status reports: - we have membership management again (phpMyAdmin) - helios update prepared, waiting for a review of the salt MR - Mirrorcache will implement a redirect in the future which will redirect the user to a more local mirrorcache instance to make subsequent requests faster - Notes from Lars: https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/101851#note-2 - TODO: JeOS changes need to also go into salt - Notes from Per on the mailinglist: https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/heroes@lists.opensuse.org/ message/2HEUWOGLIHREQ6ZS5VSHKNJDTWLUKKLA/ - Neal will try to fix the 500s when creating a new issue on code.o.o - Bernhard will try to find the ticket about the jenkins for openSUSE: https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/98268 - IRC/matrix bridge is broken, https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/103620 - datacenter move planned for April, we should have backup instances of *.o.o in Provo or at QSC to avoid downtime - backup server is ready - and waiting for admins to back up their stuff. Please open a ticket, if you want to join the "backup party" openSUSE Infrastructure Contributor Agreement: - we base on trust - should include the common openSUSE principles/guidelines - we can not require an openSUSE hero to be an openSUSE member - as they just earn the credits to become a member by working as openSUSE hero - but we can ask to follow the member guidelines in general next meeting: - will be moved by a week to Jan 11th Regards, Christian Boltz -- Meine allerste Festplatte hatte 30 MB, und ich war der King, weil alle anderen 20 MB hatten.

Matrix Down
by Lars Vogdt 02 Dec '21

02 Dec '21

As you might have seen it on https://status.opensuse.org/ : the (synapse-)matrix service on matrix.o.o is currently down by intention. As the service configuration - and probably the whole setup - differs in comparison to the package containing the latest (security) fixes, we decided to turn the service off instead of risking anything. Now we're waiting for someone (you?) to update the service... Dear admins: please keep your services up-to date and secure all the time. We are already trying our best to keep the underlying OS up to date for you. But that does not help, if the admins of the services are not doing their job. Our current infrastructure policy[1] hasn't changed since 2020. So there shouldn't be anything new in it for our admins. -> please follow the rules. Regards, Lars [1]: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Infrastructure_policy

Thanks for reacting so quickly! Am 27. November 2021 14:20:20 UTC schrieb Sasi Olin <hellcp(a)mailbox.org>: >I just checked it, and security updates weren't being applied either, the machine keeps filling up with logs, so even zypper ref didn't work to fetch what the machine needed to stay secure. That might be indeed another reason why the scanner yelled... But sorry, why is the machine still logging so much? Debug logs on a productive machine do not only have the side effect to fill up the space, they also slow down and might even be GDPR relevant, if they log too much (haven't checked that, tho).

Asking about heroes involvement about software.o.o. (dyad proposal)
by ddemaio 17 Nov '21

17 Nov '21

Hi Heroes, You might be aware or even provided some feedback to the proposal we were working on about software.o.o. We had a workshop this past Friday and in the workshop, an action item was brought up to contact you all about how you envision any involvement an enhanced software.o.o.. I've attached a link to notes from our workshop and an update of the proposal. Would you all want access to the deployment? Knowing this could assist with what the technical solution will be should we get resources to move forward with this project. Please let me know so I can update the proposal. v/r Doug Workshop - https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/softwareworkshop Link to proposal - https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/softwareproposal

obsreview messages to admin-auto
by Per Jessen 13 Nov '21

Just a heads-up - these were generally being held back by mailman, "implicit destination". I don't know if anyone is actually interested, but I'm letting them through, also some older ones. Adjust your sieve filters :-) -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.3°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes

Hi all, There appears to be some sort of issue with weblate syncing with opensuse.org. The landing page on github shows the change, but it is not syncing for some reason. Can someone take a look at it. Here is the issue https://github.com/openSUSE/landing-page/commit/ae5a6afdd9a04428f9603f163ec… v/r Doug
