New page

Present: TM, RL, MM

* Administration
** {{news|comp.lang.asm.x86}}
*** RL has resumed liaising with Terje regarding setting up a moderation system.
** New signing key for [[news.groups.proposals]]
*** RL generated a new key, added UIDs for ngp-approval-key@big-8.org and ngp-approval-key@ngp.big-8.org, signed new key with the old key, and published the new key on a key server. Still to do: update our STUMP instance to sign posts with both keys (for the next six months at least), add the new key to the [[news.groups.proposals]] wiki page, and announce the changeover on {{news|news.groups.proposals}}. We can stop signing with the old key after six months.
** {{news|rec.humor.funny}}: No further communication with Brad Templeton.
** {{news|comp.binaries.cbm}}: RL pinged the prospective moderator on 2025-06-20.
** {{news|rec.arts.anime.creative}}: RL pinged the prospective moderator on 2025-06-20.
** {{news|soc.sexuality.general}} (non-functioning moderated group): TM is still in correspondence with two of the former moderators.
** {{news|soc.culture.jewish.moderated}} (non-functioning moderated group): No further communication from the former moderator and their nominee. Agreed that TM would ping them again, and defer the LCC until mid-July.
** {{news|comp.sys.wearables}}: On 2025-06-20 RL pinged Greg Pfeil for an update on the moderation infrastructure. In any case, agreed to wait several more months for further action.
** {{news|comp.protocols.dns.bind}}: On 2025-05-02 MM pinged Dan Mahoney for an update on the mail-to-news gateway. No response yet. In any case, agreed to wait several more months for further action.
** Unused comp.unix.* groups: MM to draft an RFD for {{news|comp.unix.bsd.386bsd.misc}}, {{news|comp.unix.bsd.bsdi.misc}}, {{news|comp.unix.sys5.misc}}, {{news|comp.unix.sys5.r4}}, and {{news|comp.unix.user-friendly}}.
* Infrastructure
** Decommissioning of the mail.big-8.org domain and of Mail-in-a-Box, Nextcloud, etc.
*** JE responded that he's OK with our plans to decommission Nextcloud. TM to back up or migrate any useful files.
*** MM reported that Mail-in-a-Box apparently just uses a script to install and configure the relevant Ubuntu packages; if we remove this script then the packages should remain. TM noted that Mail-in-a-Box seems to handle our TLS certificate renewal and that we might need to replace this with Certbot. MM to continue to investigate the decommissioning procedure.
* Software/funding
** TM: No update yet on GPG signing best practices on Savannah
** Thunderbird 128 contact deferred given Julien's comments on INN.
** TM still to respond to Julien.
** OTF IFF/NGI0/[https://www.sovereigntechfund.de/ Sovereign Tech Fund]: no further updates
** JE approved one of RL's OpenCollective expense claims; RL to remind him about the other one. JE and RL are in the process of signing and submitting a form to transfer the web hosting account from JE to RL.
