Updates on
Banking
- We have a bank account!
- We'll just require a standing order set up for membership
- Mat to email people privately for standing order mandates
- Mat to pay in the £30 previously recieved
Servers
- Gary's bytemark account is already in the Dark Peak name
- Gary to find out from BM how we can pay (DD or SO preferred)
- This should be changed for Dark Peak's account number
- Caolan to move his machine to Gary's Dark Peak account
Hack Day (for anyone that wasn't there)
- Planning to make use of Gary's next "Hack Sheffield" event to use as the next Dark Peak hack day (bring kool aid)
- For the greater good
gitlab + static hosting
- Intending to use gitolite for git hosting instead of gitlab as it provides more flexibility in access control and is less of a memory hog
- probably with cgit UI
Identity Services
- we now have an identity server at id.darkpeak.org providing LDAP auth and two-factor (see wiki) - currently being used by the wiki and RSS reader
- Mat inquire about pass plus token options in FreeIPA (does it make sense to check both password and otp boxes?)
- Mat to let people grant set their own log in options (just need to figure out the right privilege and auto-grant it on user-creation)
- Idea for an minimum viable product - set up SMTP server to deliver mail from darkpeak.org - this would let us send email from darkpeak.org from gmail etc for now and setup email forwarding/aliases for the replies
- would give us experience in delivering mail without it going into spam
- apache.org works this way so it may be worth one of us getting in touch with apache infra and reading their docs, etc
- don't need to handle mailboxes / imap straight-away
- Question: jkg - do you still have enough time available with new job?
- we should aim to start sending email messages between the group using this system as a test
IRC bouncer
- Lewis sez: Still need to get round to dockerising and adding LDAP to ZNC. Would be a good thing to do at a hack day.
any other ongoing tasks
- we have some basic designs for a landing-page to live at www.darkpeak.org - and a 'badge' design (along the lines of the "I started the Open Rights Group" badges) + a square icon for the wiki
- the designs talked about here would make great stickers! square, simple, low cost, give them out at meetups, EW and Union St tables for stuff -- people fucking love stickers
Arrange next meeting and who's chairing it
Next meeting 23rd April 2015 - chair to be decided on the day
AOB
Turning off mandatory two-factor auth in FreeIPA
- this is because it was an issue with the RSS Readers android client - caolan
- Mat has done this -- there are questions! See identity notes above.
