Reportage

Znuny

Grant is working on upgrading Znuny. Currently at version 6.1. At version 6.5 we have to decide whether to use a Debian (non-free) package or use a container.

The Debian package seems to want to manage all the config itself. Tom had a look at it in the past.

Equinix

Action item: 2024-03-21 Grant to reply to Equinix, restating the issue in a brief form to them. [Topic: Equinix]

Not yet. Salesperson came back with a different price on power. EUR 200 extra for 1 extra kilowatt, which we didn't ask for. They signed us up at 3.5 kilowatt and they seem to try to get us on 6 kilowatt.

Action item: 2024-03-21 OPS to ask the community whether anyone who works for Equinix wants to put us forward to the Equinix foundation as a charitable organisation they'd like to support. [Topic: Equinix]

Done.

Large wiki pages

Action item: 2024-03-21 Paul to open an issue about large wiki pages. [Topic: Large wiki pages]

Done. Grant pointed the ticket https://github.com/openstreetmap/operations/issues/1046 to wiki people on slack.us and they have been looking into it.

Editor Policy

We should drop references to desktop editors because those are already handled by the remote edit protocol anyway - the policy is really about web based editors only as they each need to be listed explicitly.

In the Discourse thread we can clarify that we are happy to add a generic "mobile editor" entry if a suitable way to implement it can be found, or to merge that with the existing remote edit entry if a way can be found that works for both desktop and mobile editors.

Yes, the Policy was triggered by an informal request from greater Rapid editor team.

Wording will be added to the policy that all requests to add editors will be announced to the community on discourse with a minimum of 4 weeks for feedback before they are approved.

We will update the draft over the next 2 weeks and then publish a revised draft for comment.

UCL

Brief discussion on failed site visit. We waiting response from UCL team. Likely delay due to term break.

ysera server is still crashing due to faulty memory. Memory needs to be replaced.
