Discussion#

Pretalx Proposal Decision#

  • It seems to be a cheaper option than currently

  • Nicole and Jim need to get proper quote and moving forward

    • Jim is concerned about getting quick support

      • Can this be part of the contract?

  • Need to decide if Marty’s work on Pretalx would fall under the DevOp role

  • Decision: wait to pursue after we hire devop role

DevOps Role#

  • Currently 2k+ applications have around ~13 in a shortlist

  • Infrastructure committee wants to be involved in the technical interview

    • Need to come up with some fixed questions to ask them

    • Want to ensure that the interview is the same across all candidates

NF Summit#

  • There will be one unconference session on the infrastructure committee

    • Want to bring up CI/CD guide

    • See if people know about the new process for requests from the committee

    • Do committees need common infrastructure that we can set up?

      • Possible to unify how we do voting, notes and requests?

      • Want to improve transparency?

CI/CD Guide#

  • Skeleton setup on the repo. Now we can add the information needed

Action items#

  • Create a Google Forms survey which details: Nabil Freij

    • What CI services are using currently and what architectures do you use on them?

    • Do they need paid services? If so, what ones and how much (rough estimate)?

    • What architectures do you want to run on?
