---+ RAT Unit Meeting -- 09-10-2019

%TOC%

---++ Projects

---+++ CompProj:379

   * gdutton: do completion report so we can end project
   * gdutton: create new project as purpose has changed to wider than original remit
   * high priority

---+++ CompProj:392

   * discussed with CSO's, many opinions, another non-queued interruption would be a problem
   * looked at some packages
   * can we use teams - this has mobile app, web client is fine on linux, but automation may be needed to make this work in ways like live chat, including returning to RT
   * gdutton: report on progress to date
   * low priority

---+++ CompProj:405

   * timc: do completion report and DPIA
   * gdutton: supply files for the simple web interface (for iOS users)

---+++ CompProj:417

   * ongoing

---+++ CompProj:420

   * waiting on cc to complete

---+++ CompProj:455

   * timc: do completion report
   * timc: do DPIA, or decommission

---+++ CompProj:463

   * timc: meet with iainr to add/extend deliverables
   * new nodes installed into the cluster, in queues, accessable
   * pgr filesystem servers installed and filesystem created
   * working on script to generate auto.homes file driven by caps - important so we can separate users onto the correct filesystem, teaching or research
   * filesystem rearrangement will need shifting people about and that along with the amount of data involved means this will take a while to do
   * need to fix script manging home directories as Python upgrade broke it
   * then finish component, hopefully LCFG mangaeable by xmas

---+++ CompProj:464

   * gdutton: concrete proposals report

---+++ CompProj:465

   * rwb: completion report

---+++ CompProj:470

   * ongoing, "select" academics testing; need to demo for admin; core development is done; many reports to add or transfer from Portal but that is not part of this project

---+++ CompProj:472

   * done bar 10gb infrastructure
   * timc: start completion process
   * timc: discuss infrastructure with iainr

---+++ CompProj:506

   * ongoing
   * late requests should *not* receive priority over research cluster work
   * kaldi - will add 10gb to root partition, preferably using intel math libraries which are faster but add another 11gb, fortunately graham has just made 20gb savings
   * kaldi custom version was required for python

---++ Operational

   * trac rattrap for ISS users, will use pgluser to manage
   * gdutton: letsencrypt it

   * RT - agreed to add autoresolver (after 3 months inactivity), might need to add a new status, then use status change to trigger email, look in rtsite.conf for examplar (flowchart)
   * timc: setup above
   * 7.5 upgrades - scheduling nodes - python change breaks scripts and they need rewritten so hold off on these
   * iainr: doing rt4 clone test tonight then leave real rt4 and issrt until after back from annual leave
   * iainr: crypt m/board replacement
   * iainr: remaining gpu servers to install - power issues affecting flexibility of physical installation
   * "youyuou" can be replaced (once users have confirmed), its still in warranty so we will use it to replace "marax"

   * aburford reported on what she had been up to:
      * paper to expand service as too much of her time is first line support meaning nothing much else happens, so ideally shift to IS helpdesk
      * principally learn support plus new assessment tools
      * benefits of being first line support does mean can help direct people away from eg submit
      * lecture recording improvements
      * UX design workshop - typical task assessment on learn
      * tophat attendance
      * course questionnaire mid semester feedback
      * courses still need proper coherent design on learn
      * still to find out about learn automation, yet to have first meeting
