Hi, I will be present. I would like to make a suggest. It will be nice if we can have a page or in order to add topics open for discussion and report of the meeting. Perhaps we can use https://wiki.debops.org but it seems that Maciej will need to create an account for each of us. Otherwise, I can create an Etherpad. -- Nicolas Quiniou-Briand Messagerie instantanée (Jabber) : nqb(a)azyx.fr Tél : 06 75 84 56 74

I never configured it because, as far as I remember, it needs a proprietary driver and I try to stay far from proprietary things as much as possible. I might be able to use the phone but in case something goes wrong would you mind if I participate without camera? Dam

Hi again, I'd like to thank everyone who showed up at the video call last Wednesday. I am very pleased with how it turned out. Jitsi seemed to work just fine, even though we had participants from all over Europe and even South Africa, and everyone was clearly audible (albeit with a slight delay for some). It was great to meet all of you and to hear how others are using and improving DebOps. Our next conference call will be next Wednesday at the same time and in the same Jitsi room. An invite will follow. *Attendees* - Maciej (Poland) - Robin/ypid (Germany) - Tasos (Greece) - Pinguin (Germany) - Nicolas/nqb (France) - Imre (Netherlands) - Dam (Malta) - javud (Germany) - Hendrik/hvjunk (South Africa) - Petr (Czech Republic) *Aim of meeting* A short meeting to allow everyone to introduce themselves as well as sharing how you use DebOps and what you would like to improve. *Agenda* - Introduction: who are you, how did you get started with DebOps and how do you use it now? - What improvements are you working on right now? Do you need help with something? - What improvements would you like to see? *Summary* DebOps is used for both personal self-hosting and IT automation at various organizations. However, there appears to be two speeds in DebOps: the long-time sysadmins, and the crowd of people who are trying to get there. The learning curve for newcomers is quite steep. Better documentation could help with this. Some attendees for example didn't know how to start writing roles for DebOps, how to test them with Vagrant and which best practices and coding standards to follow. These pain points are further described in this overview: https://docs.debops.org/en/master/developer-guide/contributing-docs.html#... There are also people who are having difficulties using DebOps. It is a good idea to help these users on the debops-users mailing list as the messages on there are archived, as opposed to messages in the IRC channel. We should consider promoting debops-users as a way for newcomers to get help. The project could also use a better roadmap. Right now we have https://wiki.debops.org/roadmap and https://github.com/debops/debops/projects. To conclude, here is what the attendees want to work on: - A role for the NSD authoritative nameserver, with support for performing Let's Encrypt DNS challenges (Dam) - Scripts for fully encrypted Proxmox hypervisors at Hetzner (Dam) - Proxmox virtual machine automation (Hendrik) - Roles for ELK stack: Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana (Maciej) - Roles for Elastic software, especially Filebeat (Robin) - Role for self-hosted RSS reader software (Robin) - Documentation for role development (Tasos) - Integrating various roles used at place of work (Imre) Hope to see you all next week. I'll be practicing my pronunciation of Maciej's name until then ;) Imre
