## Standing items (brief)

### Visibly reinduct members new (and old?) with the "Wheel Group Ethical Guidelines"
  - examining an Ethical Guideline, e.g. asking:
    - What's an example situation in which it could be encountered?
    - What other guidelines or rules could it conflict with? How would
      one resolve it?

### Status check: Regular updates, monitoring
  - cloud-mooneye: we'll now start getting charged for it (as of 2021-01-10)
    - See how much it costs running it for a month
    - We could also sign up for a new AWS account using a new card
      and/or email address, and get another free year
      - UCC does have >1 credit card
    - We could also try another cloud service altogether
    - [NTU] says about ~$0.50/day cost.
  - e.g. Debian oldstable 9 "stretch" -> Debian stable 10 "buster"
    - find candidates on ocsinventory
      - has it stopped reporting versions in Debian 10?

## New Matters

## Matters arising previously

- ACTION: xxx, who hasn't tried it recently?: Set and verify reminders of next meeting: `motsugo# crontab -e`
  - [TPG] Reports it is working well
- ACTION: [MPT] to look at `meetings.ucc.asn.au`: broken, reporting a nginx 404?
  - nothing to do with proxying - issue reproducible using elinks on Motsugo
  - Reboot hasn't fixed it (it did have "reboot-required" following an update, so maybe that broke it)
- ACTION: [333] re-run `john` password checker and properly finish the job
- ACTION: [333] to rotate some more IPMI passwords, making sure to let
      wheel know as a heads-up
- ACTION: [MTL] to look at uccpass and see if a nice report on password age can be generated
- ACTION: DONE? [MTL]+[MPT] poking zonemake.py and its API-driven replacements and children
    - Next steps are:
      - to build new authoritive and resolving DNS servers
      - move off of mooneye to a CI/CD setup off gitlab.ucc.asn.au
- ACTION: Still TODO: [MTL] to look at UCC web reverse proxies
- ACTION: [MPT] UWA IT liason: matrix test domain
- ACTION: [MPT] update https://wiki.ucc.asn.au/Network with latest traffic paths
- ACTION: [TEC] to look at dashboards for murasoi network traffic
  - [NTU] can it capture when bulk TCP resets are sent by upstream connection-tracking routers?
    - graph the age of existing non-LAN connections, look for spikes to zero?
    - graph new connections, look for spikes?
