Agenda for Saturday, March 5, 2011 Support Team work session

Report back:

• Status check

Goal of the weekend: Create virtual server running squeeze to take over the functionality of members.mayfirst.org (red, etc.) and id.mayfirst.org (openid).

The yaks to be shaved:

• Extend the work of the last session, in which we worked out how to setup a new lenny kvm instance to install squeeze:
  • update and test a new preseed file
    • add puppet to the late command
• Fix betelgeuse - the puppet master (to respond to puppet.tachanka.org)
• Test puppet: we now have a working puppet configuration (at least working in a test environment)
• Implement transition plan
