1. Minutes of last meeting
Accepted.
2. Matters arising
Update on actions from last meeting.
- inf-unit SL6 desktop/development
- Check what used perl-krb5-admin. We still need it for Prometheus among other things. There has been an API change. It is no longer maintained. We could take it over. Stephen has CPAN access. [Action Stephen]
- Announce with blog article the new "longjob" script. Done.
- Implement print quotas via Pcounter
- Need end-user queue monitoring and job removal. [Action Craig]
- Virtualised DICE
- Fork two projects: to address "staff" local desktop usage to run some kind of sub-DICE; to address DICE anywhere by VM (laptops and at home) and DICE anywhere by FreeNX (for IS labs as VM is not a solution here) but need academic confirmation of actual goal. [Action Iain]
- Redevelop User Documentation
- Add that this needs to deliver a "maintained service" into the project plan. Done.
- Simple KVM service
- Add hosting of SL5 guests. Done.
- School Database Revamp: Phase 1B & 2B
- Add some milestones. Done.
- Add mini-project to MPU list to close use of CVS for DICE/LCFG software, migrating remainder to SVN. [Action Alastair]
