TL;DR; Friday March 8, 18:00 UTC, Sourceware Open Office discussion of services priorities for 2024, irc.liberachat.org #overseers
To get the right time in your local timezone: $ date -d "Fri Mar 8 18:00:00 UTC 2024" In 2022 we published the Sourceware GNU Toolchain Infrastructure Roadmap [1]. And showed we could provide new services like patchwork, buildbot, public-inbox and the snapshots server to help the community become more efficient. In 2023 we celebrated the Sourceware 25 Roadmap [2] and joined the Software Freedom Conservancy as member project [3]. Showing we could grow while diversifying hardware and service partners and raising funds with a fiscal sponsor. For 2024 we [4] want to concentrate on isolating and scaling the services. In the last two years we doubled the number of machines (and more are on the way!) that we run the services on. And some of the new services are already setup in containers or on isolated VMs. But most of the services are still isolated through traditional unix mechanisms. Moving those into their own container or VM will help scaling by making it easy to move between separate physical machines. But we of course want to do this in a way that doesn't disrupt any services or causes a messy migration. And we want the projects to be in control. So please come and discuss your projects priorities and essentials. For this meeting we will also have a BBB meeting room: https://bbb.sfconservancy.org/b/mar-aom-dmo-fko (But the real discussion will be in the irc channel) [1] https://gnu.wildebeest.org/blog/mjw/2022/06/22/sourceware-gnu-toolchain-infrastructure-roadmap/ [2] https://sourceware.org/sourceware-25-roadmap.html [3] https://sfconservancy.org/news/2023/may/15/sourceware-joins-sfc/ [4] https://sourceware.org/mission.html#plc
