WarpDoctor Agenda for June 9, 2002
-
Call the meeting to order.
-
Make sure some one else is taking the log.
-
Apache upgrade.
-
Scheduled upgrade on Thursday went badly, as you all know.
-
Procedures to avoid repeat of such a catasrophe in the future:
-
Each person--e.g. Doug & Jeremy--complete the area of the project in which they
are best skilled;
-
When everyone's done, we'll meet in a separate chat (private if necessary) to discuss
the merging the areas into one install or one update pkg.
-
When everyone involved is happy with the changes, we'll install the new server SEPARATELY,
and run it in parallel (using a different port #) long enough to be sure there are
no bugs in it.
-
If we find a problem, we'll fix the problem and go back to step ii.
-
When the new version has run long enough that everyone's comfortable with it, I'll
ask Jeremy as Webmaster to make the conversion to the new version.
-
Finally, I learned this much: TAKE OUR TIME. Some of our problems resulted from
communication delays that resulted in people having to rush to meet our target conversion
time. I'd rather miss a target conversion time than have VOICE1 go down for a day
as we did last week. :-)
-
We are looking into different ways to access the server so we won't be depended
on IW's staff.
-
Other Apache/server related suggestions or ideas?
-
Other Business?
-
Motion to adjourn.
