- Hi all :)
- Let's try to keep communal notes here
- [[nick]] == [[nick sellen]] got involved in social.coop during a crisis long ago
- saved it from going offline, stabilized for a bit
- then david and noah came onboard
- not very active in the instance as of late
- periodic emergencies
- certificate renewal
- trying to empower others to join in, but don't have capacity for being really active again for now
- in the UK (Bath)
- side note: gender imbalance here pretty obvious
- (what do we do about this?)
- [[akshay]] been on social.coop for ~1y
- mostly lurking :)
- saw the certificate thing happen, thought maybe I can help
- ops + software development experience
- based in Berlin, originally from India
- [[idmyn]] == David
- being in the instance for ~4y
- joined around the same time the nicks rescued the instance
- based in UK
- doing some tech bits with Noah for a while, then dropped off -- mostly here to offer any knowledge that is singly homed in brain :)
- focus areas:
- wiki
- meet.coop registration form in the wiki
- [[flancian]] == Eduardo
- living in switzerland
- joined a couple of years ago, but not that involved until recently
- when recent cert issue happened felt rusty but perhaps they could help out
- SRE recently, linux experience
- not sure if recent experience is relevant but willing to learn!
- [[edsu]] == ed summers
- been around for ~4y
- use the instance quite a bit, notice when it goes down -- thank you nick for bringing it back every time!
- is invested so would love to know more, learn
- software developer background, mostly web. working mainly with libraries (in the organization sense) which have digital repositories and a web presence.
- love the idea of pitching in to help and this group being a coop.
- [[datatitian]] == Will
- joined in 2017
- got involved with the tech group back then but didn't have a lot of specific experience; now would be interested in trying again
- working on immers.space which is activitypub based
- [[nick sellen]] love how the recent disruption has served to get people together, shows how as long as we have fundamental organization we can channel energy in the right direction :)
- [[nick sellen]] server access
- there's a thread on loomio to decide who gets server access, we can use that
- https://www.loomio.org/d/jrbG5tue/server-access
- we'd vote people in for access and then people can request assistance/more information as needed
- [[nick sellen]]
- love the coworking/colearning model
- really enjoyed learning about the background of others just now
- [[flancian]] is there a 'root node' for tech docs/etc.?
- [[nick sellen]] https://git.coop/social.coop/tech/operations
- assumes social.coop email addresses, but this can be worked around with aliases (check)
- we use pass
- [[flancian]] I see we have one server -- do we have a backup server? do we have backup+restore processes?
- [[david]] we have database backups but unclear when they have been tested
- [[flancian]] what about using this as an exercise in which the "new wave" of admins is tasked with setting up a new server off backups and such?
- [[akshay]] what's this sauce repo mentioned?
- [[nick sellen]] the other nick named it after 'special sauce'
- in principle it could be all consolidated into ansible
- docker compose setup
- the update process involves touching the sauce repo which then somehow results in updates configs making it to prod
- [[akshay]] love automation, been doing this for the past few years for employers
- [[datatitian]] thinking of oncall schedules for the group -- need not be too granular
- [[flancian]] +1, plus having a secondary/backup would make for a simplified learning experience
- [[edsu]] would love to join a rotation
- [[edsu]] the instance feels pretty stable though, it's a challenge when problems only come about too sporadically
- [[edsu]] perhaps other working groups within the coop might be interested in other tools we could provide for them?
- [[datatitian]] there's been a long term interest in bridging loomio and mastodon
- [[edsu]] issue tracker for FRs?
- [[flancian]] git.coop?
- [[akshay]] if access to git.coop is limited, that would be a bit exclusive
- [[edsu]] loomio might also be a good platform for this
- [[nick sellen]] love the idea about building bridges -- and the oncall sharing
- [[edsu]] how did you notice the recent instance problem?
- [[nick sellen]] I do use it often enough :) also keep up to date with matrix.
- (wrap up round)
- [[nick sellen]] happy with this meet, would like to support everyone any way I can
- next steps: next call next week
- happy to receive more questions over matrix/mastodon/loomio
- [[akshay]] already have a git.coop account, would like access to ansible/sauce if possible to see how this works :)
- [[david]] happy to see new and familiar faces!
- won't be able to make the other call but will stay reachable and happy to answer questions and assist
- [[flancian]] thank you for social.coop! happy to meet you all
- will read docs, think about where to focus
- please feel free to pull me in if you need work on any particular direction
- [[edsu]] happy to meet all, would love to learn more about side projects that people have here
- would like to learn more about mastodon
- do have a git.coop account already, will take a look -- have used ansible before
- will tune in next week
- [[datatitian]] will start coordinating on loomio focusing on the oncall schedule
- [[flancian]] framadate: https://framadate.org/social-coop-tech-group
- (this is also on https://anagora.org/social-coop-tech-group, where I keep my notes)
- [[akshay]] how to join in loomio?
- (people apply)
