Project Development Meeting (IF Turing Room 10:00 - 12:00) - Minutes 2011-05-09

Present: TBD

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 It is no longer maintained.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. Stephen has taken over this module.
• 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]
• Add mini-project to MPU list to close use of CVS for DICE/LCFG software, migrating remainder to SVN. [Action Alastair]
• Monitoring system upgrade
  • Annotate project description or add to final report brain dump of ideas for improvement. Done, see Proposed Nagios Rewrite.
