== Agenda for next meeting ==

* Announcements

* Actions from last meeting

* Topics
** Service Coordinator election (clarkb 20210817)
*** Clark was the only nomination. Takes the seat by default.
** Matrix eavesdrop and gerritbot bots (clarkb 20210817)
*** Zuul's next steps
** Gitea01 backups to one of two servers are unhappy (clarkb 20210817)
*** Reboots didn't help
*** On Friday we had a set of servers that backup at the same time with similar issues but to the other backup server. Doesn't seem to be a persistent issue.
** Mailman Ansible and Server Upgrades (clarkb 20210817)
*** lists.kc.io has been snapshotted and upgraded to focal. Testing is happening now.
*** Would like to do an upgrade of this list server first then see what we learn before doing lists.o.o
** Improving OpenDev's CD throughput (clarkb 20210817)
*** The hourly deploy buildset takes about 55 minutes to complete. This means it starves regular deploy pipeline buildsets.
*** There are some easy simple wins we can make removing jobs from the hourly pipeline if they don't need to be there.
**** https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/system-config/+/804795 Run cloud launcher daily not hourly.
*** We can run many of our jobs in parallel in all of our CD pipelines. But this requires we properly document/address dependencies
**** Need to understand our job dependencies and properly note them in Zuul config or address them by combining jobs.
***** Example 1: Combine service-gitea-lb and service-gitea jobs.
***** Example 2: Combine letsencrypt and nameserver jobs
***** Example 3: Have all jobs with webserver config express a dependency on the letsencrypt job
**** Suggest we document the known job dependencies in a human readable format, then encode this into zuul, then we can switch to parallel runs.
