Apologies: MM

  • Administration
  • Infrastructure
    • Status of cron jobs for offsite backups: no update from RL yet
    • Status of remote monitoring: no update yet from MM
    • Status of fail2ban: no update yet from MM
  • Software/funding
    • TM: No update yet on GPG signing best practices on Savannah
    • Thunderbird 128 contact deferred given Julien's comments on INN.
    • TM still to respond to Julien.
    • OTF IFF/NGI0/Sovereign Tech Fund: no further updates
    • RL made further improvements to PyModerator; it is now compatible with Python <= 3.11. It does not work yet with Python > 3.11 because those versions removed the module supporting NNTP. However, it remains available as a third-party module and so RL could possibly revise PyModerator to use it. RL also submitted his revisions to the developer and proposed creating a repository for the project on GitHub. The developer agreed to this and asked RL to do so.
  • Misc
    • TUGboat article: Editors sent proofs and requested revisions to the manuscript. TM made the requested changes and resubmitted the manuscript. Article is slated to appear in the next issue.
    • Paul Schleck proposals: no further progress
    • DigiCAM25 (a.k.a. BDCAM25): No update yet from organizers on the format and timing of the panel.
    • TM gave apologies for next week as he has a conflicting event.
