2018-05-01 #opensuse-admin - heroes meeting

[20:02:20] <cboltz> looking at the clock - meeting time ;-)
[20:02:42] <cboltz> I know it's a public holiday in some countries, but still - who is here for the Heroes meeting?
[20:03:55] <pjessen> good evening
[20:04:09] <cboltz> hi!
[20:04:45] <pjessen> I sense it might be a short meeting ....
[20:04:55] <lcp> what public holiday, do other countries have labour day today?
[20:05:22] <cboltz> yes
[20:05:32] <lcp> oh, cool
[20:05:39] <pjessen> most of europe I think?
[20:05:58] <lcp> it's all because of communist russia probably :D
[20:06:53] <cboltz> while we wait/hope ;-) for more people - does someone from the community have any questions?
[20:07:04] <pjessen> that came later. May Day was earlier
[20:07:17] <lcp> ah
[20:07:26] <lcp> how is status on static?
[20:07:37] <lcp> deployment on new things there
[20:08:44] <cboltz> the problem with static is that it's spread over two or three git repos, and a few files are not even in git
[20:09:41] <lcp> ohhh
[20:09:46] <cboltz> AFAIK Theo wants to merge everything in one git repo and then setup new VMs with automated deployment, but I'm not sure if he had time for this yet
[20:09:57] <cboltz> (he's on vacation for ~2 weeks)
[20:10:03] <lcp> yeah, makes sense
[20:10:33] <cboltz> so for now, if you need something changed or deployed, ask here and/or open a ticket
[20:10:49] <lcp> I will ;)
[20:11:18] <lcp> *I should have probably asked for search test site*
[20:14:03] <cboltz> you mean for https://github.com/openSUSE/search-o-o aka https://opensuse.github.io/search-o-o/ ?
[20:15:19] <lcp> correct
[20:16:57] <cboltz> does it consist of static files, or does it need to run some "build script"?
[20:17:12] <lcp> it's based on jekyll
[20:17:45] <cboltz> ah, ok
[20:18:06] <cboltz> adding a little "how to deploy" section to the README.md might be helpful
[20:18:19] <cboltz> and if it's only to avoid silly questions like mine ;-)
[20:19:32] <lcp> Yeah, I will add that later, I'm fighting with odrs and software-o-o to add reviews in there >:D
[20:20:43] <cboltz> :-)
[20:21:29] <lcp> I appreciate that that exist, but it would be nice if there was documetation on it, intead of looking though code to find what's where :/
[20:22:14] <cboltz> BTW, another silly question - what is odrs?
[20:22:48] <lcp> open desktop ratings
[20:23:01] <lcp> from gnome software and kde discover
[20:23:05] <lcp> https://odrs.gnome.org/
[20:23:16] <cboltz> good to know, thanks
[20:24:09] <cboltz> and yeah, "would be nice if there was documetation" is a good point -probably not only when it comes to odrs ;-)
[20:25:56] <lcp> good that there are c++ and c examples, together I can at least understand something :/
[20:26:16] <cboltz> sounds funny[tm]
[20:30:07] <cboltz> our next topic are status reports
[20:30:39] <cboltz> from my side, I can only report that things are as boring as I want them to be
[20:30:58] <cboltz> the wiki just works
[20:31:22] <pjessen> I have nothing to report.  Some outstanding mirror issues, a problem with ipv6 revesre mapping (thomic fixed it I think)
[20:31:50] <pjessen> no progress on mpving to mailman, have had no time.
[20:32:47] <cboltz> elections.o.o also worked without serious problems - the only exception is celeryd (a background daemon doing some work) which crashes whenever it looses the database connection
[20:33:33] <cboltz> during the election, I restarted it manually (it's only needed for sending out mails and calculating the results, not for voting itsself) to avoid introducing breakage
[20:33:56] <cboltz> but I have an open merge request on gitlab to add Restart= to the .service file to automate that ;-)
[20:34:11] <cboltz> (opening a bugreport upstream is on my TODO list)
[20:34:30] <pjessen> our cats dragged in three fat mice today. (feldmäuse).
[20:34:51] <cboltz> dead or alive? ;-)
[20:35:01] <pjessen> alive, then dead, then dinner
[20:35:44] <cboltz> so you still have "real" cats that know that they can eat mice, not only canned food? ;-)
[20:36:04] <pjessen> oh yes. they spend most time outside.
[20:36:49] <pjessen> I though maybe it was a more interesting topic .....
[20:37:23] <cboltz> it's probably the first heroes meeting with a discussion about a mouse that isn't connected to a computer ;-)
[20:37:38] <pjessen> hehe, good one!
[20:38:13] <cboltz> a few words about oSC18
[20:38:40] <cboltz> my talk was accepted :-)
[20:39:15] <cboltz> so people willl enjoy a few things we broke, and how we did that ;-)
[20:39:51] <pjessen> great. good luck with it
[20:39:59] <cboltz> thanks!
[20:40:17] <pjessen> a good laugh is always a good thing
[20:41:01] <pjessen> latest screw-up - change of ipv6 addresses caused google to bounce mailing list mail
[20:41:20] <cboltz> no worries, I noticed that mail ;-)
[20:41:39] <pjessen> haha, I was wondering :-)
[20:41:53] <cboltz> IP changes are always a good source for funny[tm] stories
[20:42:14] <pjessen> perfect.  Yes, it shows it doesn't take much to cause problem.s
[20:43:46] <cboltz> will you be at the conference?
[20:44:11] <pjessen> I don't think so. It's bad timing for me, family wise.
[20:46:36] <pjessen> anything else?
[20:46:53] <cboltz> depends - are you bored enough to review some old tickets?
[20:47:08] <cboltz> if not, we could say it's a public holiday, and working on public holidays is forbidden ;-)
[20:47:12] <pjessen> oh I forgot.
[20:47:31] <pjessen> I wanted to review the old tickets _before_ the meeting
[20:48:00] <pjessen> given it's just the two of us, I say we postpone.
[20:48:46] <cboltz> no objections ;-)
[20:50:03] <cboltz> so let's officially close the meeting
[20:50:15] <pjessen> I second that. thanks everyone :-)
[20:50:19] <cboltz> thanks everybody!
[20:50:37] <pjessen> schoenen abend!
