  • planet.plone.org is barely alive:

    • Container for Planet software crashes frequently. Monitoring in place to restart if needed.
      • Last issye was with Nginx container and SSL certificate.
      • Fixed by shutting off the nginx container and using Ansible to install nginx. Working now.
    • We need something sustainable.
    • Also, need CI from GitHub repo -> production server

  • Demo sites

    • 6.demo.plone.org (Volto)
      • Deployed / Maintained by Victor Fernandez de Alba
      • On same server with Plone 5 demo sites
    • Leverage use of *.demo.plone.org to support many versions

  • Moved docs.voltocms.com to Foundation servers on 2021-04-14

    • Auto deploy works on new tags

Topics

Team structure / dedication / processes

  • Team structure: We need a new team leader
    • Tasks: Plan, cat herd
    • Fred van Dijk is the new leader :slight_smile: All hail the new Fred!
  • Dedication
    • Discuss possible sprints/other initiatives to make the team work better
  • Process
    • We still need to create the Project on Github and use it as a Kanban board to manage prioritization
  • Fulvio still the Ansible overlord

Domains

  • List of domains. Paul to take this back on.
  • Still need to consolidate domains onto Name.com for registration and Cloudflare as nameservers/cdn
    • By default, all domains should redirect to plone.org
  • Goal: understand how much we spend annually on domains, end of life some old historical domains

Move repositories branches master -> main

  • Developing internal tool to automate the move
    • Risks:
      • Jenkins, other automation, buildout-core-dev
  • Contact Zope and Guillotina people to see when they can do switch
    • Pylons wants to learn with our experience
  • Plan how to deal with the Collective
    • Many repositories, mostly unmaintained

Testing infrastructure

  • Fred to lead the effort to document and update Jenkins / Mr. Roboto

2FA is mandatory

  • GitHub
    • AI Team already have it in place
    • System/service accounts need to be updated
  • Docker
    • Now supports 2fa
    • Multiple accounts to deal with Plone, Volto, Guillotina need to be updated

Planet.plone.org

Documentation

    • Internal repository documentation (with MkDocs)
    • Google Docs (Currently mostly for minutes)
    • community.plone.org (Communication with the broader Plone Community)

  • Decision: Leverage Github solutions
