SIPB Projects Report:
        phurst: Roost now has CC support; you can test it out at
		https://roost-test.mit.edu. I'm not comfortable deploying this to
		roost.mit.edu because there are weird bugs involving messages not
		showing up; these aren't data loss bugs.
        achernya: We could ask IS&T for a SQL virtual machine.

        jhawk: Does this imply that there's a problem with SQL?
        achernya: Yes, the problem is that SQL has way too many users.
        glasgall: We're aware of the issue, and we do plan to do something about
		it once we're non-hosed. Sometime within the next year hopefully.
        achernya: In the meantime, we can swap the SSDs into the evacuated
		Scripts servers. But short of setting up sharding or a ridiculous
		financial investment, there's not much that we can do.
        
        glasgall: Scripts is deploying F20; we should be done in the next 2
		weeks. We have 2.5 servers spun up now, and it should take less than 2
		hours to go from a cloned template to a new server, and it can be
		parallelized.

        dzaefn: sipb-door initialization is now almost finished; we're just
		working in the bowels of git.
        mingy: We don't have all the changes that dove wanted yet, so I'm hoping
		we could get all of those done.

Other:
        phurst: This is my last SIPB meeting, because I'm flying out to SF on thursday.
        vahle: I can temporarily volunteer.
        dove: I'll be gone the last week of August.

        andersk: I got two calls from FedEx asking for a package pick up for or
		possibly from JJ Sipbadmin at 32 Vassar St. Anybody know what this is
		about?
        [No volunteers.]
        jhawk: Did they tell us anything about it?
        andersk: They couldn't tell us anything else.
        dove: I believe we're sure it's a drop-off now.

Other Other:
        omalley1: I'm reading a book: _Hackers, Heroes of the Computer Revolution_.
        
        glasgall: Linux kernel version 3.16, codenamed Shuffling Zombie Juror,
		was released today. Also alpha 2 of Ubuntu 14.10, Utopic Unicorn.

        achernya: BoringSSL is better than OpenSSL but that doesn't say much.
        dove: We need a plot of the goodness against the number of commits by
		davidben and Adam Langley.

The meeting was adjourned at 19:40.
