13 May meeting notes

New page

= OBIT Meeting - 13 May 2012 =

Attending: Brandon, Dana, Eden, Kendra, Steve

== Server/Package Upgrades ==

Brandon: several security upgrades for attucks. 8 or 9 package
upgrades. In addition, Mayfirst will perform a kernel upgrade on
attuck's parent host. acpid, basefiles, libapr, libxi, initscripts,
libc-dev, openssh, python, sysvinit, tzdata, and others. Will apply
upgrades shortly before Mayfirst does kernel upgrades.

Affects www and v2dev (not wiki, old groups, emails).

== Drupal work ==

Dana looking at taking css from occupyboston.org, and converting to
Drupal 7. Goal: home page of v2dev.groups.occupyboston.org should
look occupyboston.org. Also planning to build wireframes for groups
function in v2dev. Would be great if we could get something together
in the next month.

== Turning off Mobile Theme on Wordpress ==

The mobile theme has been problematic; it's been broken and it stays
broken. Brandon disables WP Touch plugin.

== Scheduling of Sunday OBIT Meetings ==

We'd like to change our meeting time, to prevent overlap with SAA. We
can meet before SAA, after SAA, or on a different day.

Proposed: 3pm on Sundays. '''Agreed''' -- 3pm Sunday, effective next week.

Location: There's a Starbucks on Huntington end of the prudential
center. We'll meet there, so it will only be a short walk to SAA.
(Should remind list of this, and clarify meeting location on list.)

== CISPA Press Release ==

Started a press release: https://pad.riseup.net/p/TeklQmINc21J
Brandon's done some editing. Looks good.

We'll seek endorsements for this statement:

* Brandon. Mass Pirate Party, OWS tech ops
* Dana. FSF
* Steve. EFF and Occupy Arlington
* Kendra. From PRA (publiceye.org).
* Ross. Mayfirst / Riseup

== CISPA Radio Spot ==

Kendra, Brandon, Steve were going to tape a segment on CISPA for
OBR.fm this afternoon. E5 was closed up, so we had to postpone
taping.

== Trac Tickets ==

* Wishlist tickets, 51, 34, 52, 28, 63. Nothing to do right now.
* #52 (Featured actions) was de-prioritized after media dissolution. We're not sure what do do with it.
* #15 wordpress logging. Steve will try to install Simple History later this week.
* #50 Contact Form 7 plugin upgrade. Steve takes tickets.
* #68 Calendar submit form hangs. May be a varnish issue. Given to Ross.
* #79 MediaWiki upgrade. Steve will try to start testing new version this week.
* #78 Wordpress 3.3.2 + plugin upgrades. Should work on this. Definitely needs testing prior to deployment.
