The postgresql.org mail infrastructure is currently deeply intertwined
with the hub.org system. This makes it difficult for the 2 non-hub.org
people who have access to manage the systems, and means that any
problems with hub.org affect us, and any problems caused by us will
affect hub.org customers.

I propose that we build a replacement mail system, tailored to our
needs. This would be built on our existing FreeBSD infrastructure and
would be managed by members of the existing sysadmin team including
myself, Magnus, Stefan and Marc. Further, it has been suggested that
OmniTI may be able to offer assistance.

Can I please get a show of hands for and against progressing with such
a project?

+1 to the project -- assuming that it means a change of infrastructure
and not necessarily of tools.  I, for one, would oppose changing Mj2 for
Mailman, for instance.  (However, whether we use Sendmail or Postfix or
something else entirely I don't care ...)

Actually this is a good point. We really should define requirements as
part of this, let's not just do it wholesale. Here are a couple:

 * Software must be open source?
 * Environment must be managed by the community
 * Attempt to have admins in each of the following timezones
   EST
   PST
   CET
   * I believe with those three we have 24x7 coverage
 * FreeBSD is OS?

I'm first for checking, if we find an agreement about either creating a
new mail infrastructure, stabilizing the current situation or (which i
would find pity) doing nothing at all.

The next step, if any, would be to find out, if we need a new domain.
Because in case of a new domain we have a lot more problems to solve
than just the question which software to use.


>  * Environment must be managed by the community

I would say, this question is implicated. If we vote for a new mail
infrastructure, this surely not means to give away this infrastructure
into the hands of another company, or? Or?


>  * Attempt to have admins in each of the following timezones

That's a job for the sysadmin team, not to discuss here. If we need
more helping hands in this team, this can be discussed and solved in
another thread.


>  * FreeBSD is OS?

Same thing -> sysadmin team.


So let's stay on topic. If we have a decision we can create other
mail threads and discuss the details.


Thank you & kind regards

Agreed.  I think the proposal is to move the FreeBSD jails in their
entirety to servers that a community team can manage.

yeah - I think this fact adds quite some complexity to the whole system 
- and keeping things simple is quite often a really good concept.

well such a project would be a fairly large undertaking and needs to be 
planned properly - but +1 on the idea of decoupling the hub.org 
infrastructure from the postgresql.org on at least a logical (ie 
seperate jails) level.

Please note that as much as Bruce seems to be misguided into thinking this 
has something to do with the WWW setup, it isn't ... changes in this 
infrastructure will be (and is being) discussed on -core, specifically

People ask about all infrastructure issues on this list.  If there is an
email problem, historically we have talked about it here.

Do you want to set this list to moderated like Josh Berkus did with
advocacy?  (That didn't work out to well, as I remember).  You want to
set up a move-the-infrastructure email list?  (That didn't work out well
either.)

"Don't like the message, stop them from communicating."  I thought we
learned from the advocacy debacle.

It is true we are discussing this on core too but shouldn't stop
discussion here.

I would argue that it's a sysadmin team issue to resolve (the lead
people in that group being you, me, Stefan and Magnus), however, Bruce
is correct in that the public side of the sysadmin/infrastructure work
does generally end up being discussed on this list.

Just a short top-post here ... as I mentioned before, Dave/Tom/I have been 
discussing this issue on -core, with it degenerating to 'Dave/I' ... we 
have a plan to move forward on this based on discussions that actually 
happened a couple of weeks ago as a percursor to this ...

Dave/I will be posting a summary of our scheduale/plan to sysadmins later 
this evening, as this is an infrastructure, not WWW, issue ...

Thank you ...

NP ... I hadn't even realized that our previous talks on this *had* 
stalled, but I suspect Bruce missed that thread and jump'd in between us 
having an agreed on target, and actually implementing it ...

It happens.

Frankly, I don't care what the outcome of this is as long as other
people feel we are moving forward.

Well, considering that Magnus was the one (if I recall correctly) was the 
one that was advocating the direction that we had decided to take, and he 
wasn't doing much pushing (which I know he will do if it is taking too 
long), I suspect that you are about the only one feeling impatient with 
how fast this was going ...

After out outage this week, with few people able to help, many of
us were frustrated.

To be fair, the reason I stopped pushing was that I didn't expect it to 
have any effect. It's not like it's had it before.

But that was for getting it started. once it's started and we're in 
agreement that things should be done, we should be sure to plan it out 
properly before we actually start pulling things apart, of course! Just 
so things don't stall...
