Here are the minutes of the meeting. They can also be found online with the irc logs.

Openldap 2.4 SRU

mathiaz announced that openldap 2.4.9 had been uploaded to hardy-proposed. Testing and reporting on the results is more then welcomed. He added that he’d like to get 2.4.10 in hardy as well, but that would have to wait for 2.4.10 to hit intrepid. zul also mentioned that three bug fixes from 2.4.10 are already included in the 2.4.9 sru uploaded to hardy.

mathiaz mentioned that the nss_ldapd feature discussed at UDS had been committed to upstream cvs. It should be available in 2.4.11. nijaba suggested that we should target 2.4.11 for inclusion in intrepid.

Ebox and Ubuntu centralize server administrator spec

nxvl wasn’t able to make it to the meeting. There was some discussion about using Augeas as a backend for ebox.

ACTION: mathiaz to send send an email to the ebox devs about augeas

Spec status/review

ScottK asked what was the status of specification approval for intrepid. dendrabates said he was still working on finalizing the list. ScottK listed some of the specs he wrote server-flavors, clamav-spamassassin-in-main, amavisd-dkim and waits for their approval to start implementing them.

Proposed ubuntu server team PPA

zul brought up the idea of having a PPA for the ubuntu-server team. mathiaz asked what it would be used for. zul said he’d see it used as a staging area for -proposed. mathiaz asked zul to ping him if he came across a package that would fit in an ubuntu-server ppa and not in a personal ppa.

text browser on the server cd

mathiaz highlighted the recent thread on -devel and -server about moving w3m out of the standard seed. After some discussion it became clear that the Server team would like to keep w3m installed by default on Ubuntu Server.

The discussion drifted to the topic on seed review. Once the -server seeds are created, -standard and -minimal should be reviewed to make sure that server related packages are not installed on desktop and vice-versa.

ACTION: mathiaz to send a reply to the thread with the position of the server team.

ACTION: dendrobates to review seeds wrt to the creation of the server seeds.

Agree on next meeting date and time

Next meeting will be on Tuesday, June 24th at 15:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting.

  • Results of the Ubuntu Virtualization Survey

I am pleased to share the results with you now.ResultsAnswersI will provide a few of my own observations, but we are very interested in your own conclusions!There were a total of 354 responses -- excellent feedback!Nearly 2/3 of all responders use virtualization on Ubuntu every d […]
  • Introducing Testdrive!
    I'm pleased to introduce a new package I have created for Ubuntu called testdrive!Testdrive makes it simple to run any Ubuntu release in a virtual machine, safely, and without affecting your current Ubuntu installation.This is a great way to "try out" the Ubuntu release beyond your current version, before upgrading. For example, if you're […]
  • Ubuntu 9.10 Byobu and OpenWeek Session
    I thought I would provide a brief set of highlights about Byobu accomplishments during the Karmic development cycle, now that we have released Ubuntu 9.10. Also, I'd like to promote my Ubuntu Open Week Presentation on Byobu, which is scheduled for 18:00 UTC, tomorrow, Tuesday November 3, 2009. It will included a live demonstration, in Amazon EC2. Be pre […]

  • karmic and log rotation
    In Ubuntu’s Karmic and and Debian’s Lenny, sysklogd was replaced with rsyslog. This is fine, since rsyslog will have converted your /etc/syslog.conf to /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf. However, if you modified the (maddeningly strange sysklogd-specific) log file rotation in /etc/cron.daily/sysklogd or /etc/cron.weekly/sysklogd, you’ll want t […]
  • TPM as RNG
    I was reminded about some TPM coding I’d done to get random bytes from the pRNG on my TPM-enabled system from Matt Domsch’s recent post. I’m not fully convinced that the pRNG of the TPM is an appropriate source of entropy, but it does pass my simple FIPS-140-2 test. I had to find the Intel TPM docs to figure out how to enable TPM on my syst […]
  • uninstall sun-java6
    With the vrms meme raging on Planet Ubuntu, I noticed some people still have sun-java6 installed. I’ve been using openjdk-6 since Hardy, and everything I use works fine with it (e.g. Vuze, Catan, Eclipse, FreeMind, and even Facebook’s photo uploader thing). Given the Ubuntu Tech Board’s “remove sun-java6 from the archive” Agenda […]

  • Sep 20 – Sep 25 Wrap-up
    Spent most of my week in Portland to attend conferences. Conferences Attended LDAPCon 2009 and published report. Attended LinuxCon 2009. Image Store Proxy Updated image-store-proxy to 1.0. This version brings support for gpg signed images. Still need testing against the real-world Canonical Image Store infrastructure.
  • A summary of LDAPCon 2009
    On Sunday, September 20th and Monday, September 21st I attended LDAPCon 2009 in Portland, OR. Most of the open source projects were there – with the notable absence of Port 389 (Redhat) – as well as some vendors (Apple and UnboundID). Most of the slides are available online. Apache Directory project The Apache Directory folks gave several present […]
  • Sep 11 – Sep 18 Wrap-up
    Image-store-proxy Package image-store-proxy to enable the Image Store tab in Eucalyptus. The package (python-image-store-proxy) has made its way to main and on the -server isos in time for alpha6 with the help of Thierry and Kees. Server-karmic-directory-enabled-user-login Kept on investigating the use of puppet to build an ldap/krb5 infrastructure on EC2. I […]

  • UDS Lucid
    This week, Dallas hosts the Ubuntu Developer Summit for the Lucid Lynx release. This is the key moment where we define what will be done for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and discuss how it will be done. There will be plenty of interesting sessions in all the tracks, and sometimes I wish I could attend two sessions at the same time. In the server track, Monday will have […]
  • Run your own Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud, part 3
    In part 1 and part 2 of this series, we saw how to set up a minimal cloud infrastructure and bundle a basic image (and test it). In this final article, we’ll play with our cloud from an end-user perspective. Setting up the web UI First of all, before accepting end users, as the administrator of the cloud you will have to setup a few things on the web U […]
  • Run your own Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud, part 2
    In part 1 of this series, we saw how to install the cloud infrastructure. In this article, we’ll bundle and upload an EMI (Eucalyptus Machine Image), based on Ubuntu Server 9.10 Beta, and validate that we can run an instance of it. Download required elements Go to the cloud/cluster controller and download the required items. For a 64-bit image: $ URL= […]
