Good beginner/introductory items are marked with (*), but feel free to ask about any item that interests you!

Fix all the things that we have

  • Upgrade TurboGears1 apps to TurboGears2

  • Fix the FAS authenticators to be less chatty
    • Put fas session information into memcached
  • Create a new TG captcha widget that is easier for human's to use
    • My idea would be -- image of a simple math equation (7 + 92 = ?). Human types in the answer to that (*)

  • Update pkgdb to have an admin console (no more direct db needs)

  • Move transifex to tx.net
  • Move blogs to wordpress.com
  • Move publictest to the cloud and create a sundown on them
  • Automated hosted projects (*)
  • Automated build overrides (*)
  • Automated creation of new machines -- run one command and it's up

  • Use yubikey for two-factor auth (instead of either or auth)
  • glusterfs/cloudfs fedorapeople filesystem
  • glusterfs/cloudfs fedorahosted filesystem
  • Talk to mediawiki folks on how to run attachments to mediawiki so that we don't need a special machine (possibly glusterfs again?)
  • Split db to get fas to a different db server
  • Replicate db so that we don't have a SPOF
  • logging sucks (*)
    • IPs hit proxies but we also need them to hit the app servers. (*)
    • Fas needs to log more actions to its database (this is in a new version of FAS, we just need to upgrade)
  • Do periodic reinstallations of guests (like app servers) so that we know there's nothing changed not in puppet.
  • fix backups
    • Make sure we're backing up everything (*)
    • Stop backing up sysadmin data (/usr)
    • Reduce koji's resources
  • Finish and deploy coprs
  • go through list of rpm -Va on all hosts (in /var/tmp/global-rpm-va on puppet01) and make sure all the files there have counterparts in puppet to explain their changes (*)
  • monitor more things for possible problems (*)
    • mail queues on SMTP machines, particularly bastion (*)
    • puppet reports to make sure that puppet is being run regularly on all managed machines. (*)
