[H-GEN] Library and Systems Report

HUMBUG Library
==============

There have been no changes to the HUMBUG library, however
Matthew Franklin has put forward a motion to throw out our
now very old magazine collection (they are currently at
his house).  I see no need to keep them myself, but a vote
for what to do has been added to the agenda of the exec
meeting.


Systems
=======
    Excalibur:
    - Backups available (these must have been sighted).
        2010-05-01

    - Date a backup was tested by a complete restore
      from backup only.
        2010-05-01

    - Percentage of disk space used.
        Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
        /dev/xvda              12G  3.4G  8.4G  29% /

    - List of packages that aren't up-to-date security wise.
        apache2
        apache2-mpm-prefork
        apache2.2-common
        libmysqlclient15off
        login
        mysql-client-5.0
        mysql-common
        mysql-server-5.0
        python-moinmoin

        I'll upgrade these packages at the next meeting, I
        want to talk to Russell first and make sure I won't
        break his plugin with the moinmoin upgrade.

    - Any major configuration changes since the last exec meeting.
        rdiff-backup has been packaged, documented and tested by
        Russell and Greg (thankyou!)

    - Changes to schedule of people with access to the box.
        *none since last meeting*

    - Currently open tickets
        - #12 http://lists.humbug.org.au/mailman/admindb/mailman
          returns 500 Internal Server Error
            This is one of my tickets.  I know the what but not
            the how, so I'll be gettinig help with it during
            the next meeting
        - #7  LDAP Server
          #3  Trac authentication needs to be simple, easy, and
automated
            Brad M is working on these

        - #13 The Apache2 should have sasig@ as its webmaster contact
          #16 Investigate trac ticket creation from emails.
            I've just created #16 in response to comments in #13.
            Rather than *master at humbug requests going to sysasig
            we'll try to get trac to create tickets from *master@
            emails.

    - Membership Database
        I'm eager to see the membership database finally become a
        reality, and when I mentioned this on the list some people have
        been working on sections of it, and others have ideas for a
        framework that might suit our needs.

        I'll have a talk to everyone during the meeting and see
        who wants to work on what and where we're currently at, and
        try to get us working together and not stepping on each others'
        toes.
