Right now we have no way to communicate as a group if our community
email infrastructure isn't working.
Therefore, I have created an email list on my machine that can be used
for communication in such situations. It is called:
[email protected]
I envision this as an email list that will allow more rapid recovery
during email outages. I know many use IRC in such cases but this allows
notification. Also some don't use IRC.
Anyone can post to the email list. There is no moderation, though the
list sits behind my spam filters. The list will not be archived.
If you want to be subscribed, please email me privately. I think it is
particularly important for infrastructure managers to be subscribed to
this list.

Yes there is.
jabber.postgresql.org
irc.freenode.net
direct email
Not to mention how many other services people are using with buddy
lists? :P

I would like the requirements defined by the -www and sysadmins teams.
I don't want us to go off and create yet more infrastructure without
full documentation and understanding of the purpose and whether it is
redundant.
This list is currently redundant as we have the resources and
technology already in place to deal with this. I think you are
attacking the wrong problem Bruce.

I think we need something more centralized, and with chat you have to
know to look there for problems. I think we need something that
allows people to notify us if there is a problem.

We are attacking the wrong problem. 99% of the time we know when
there is a problem. I leave the 1% only because we aren't perfect.

Well, I certainly don't until I realize I haven't received email, nor do
I know who is working on it. Right now the emergency communication
system is ad-hock.

So the solution you propose does not solve the problem you think you have
-- i.e. that in the event there is a failure, the community doesn't know it.
Would a health check system that updated web pages based on the monitor
status help? (Hint: I think the monitors are already in place. What we
need is some additional ways of accessing that data, I guess.)

Personally, I would love to get an email when the community email system
isn't working, and status while it is being worked on. I assume others
would like to as well, so I don't go reporting/contacting people when
things are already being worked on.
Right now, when email is down, I just start IM'ing people. A more
structured system would help me.

there is a large grey area here and things are by far not as black &
white as your are painting them - like just defining what constitutes
"community email not working" is not easy - he have a few dozends checks
on that already and you can assume that we are aware of issues usually
faster than most other people.
For the reporting/contacting stuff it seems you actually want to start
advocating a tracker/ticketing solution for the project which is an
interesting idea (note that the sysadmin team already has simple
tracker/ticket solution internally).
As for providing status updates and stuff like that - this is probably
much more than we can do(we don't have unlimited resources ...) - this
is still a community project( for 99% of the issues (because those are
either fixed very quickly or have no or no noticable effect on the
infrastructure).
For planned maintenance and reboots/updates of major infrastructure
components we are actually trying to inform in advance (but we could
certainly improve in that area)

Some people would say a more structured approach to patch/bug tracking
would help them (but maybe not help you) ;-)
Getting you sent the alerts too is simple to do - but the question is
more of what value that information would be for you ?

When email was down this past week, I had no idea if the problem was
known and who was working on it. I envisioned something like the
emergency broadcast system in the USA that sends out an alerts and
allows communication to continue while community email is down.

[ Email moved to hackers.]
This is an interesting observation that deserves to be discussed
separately, and relates to the patch queue. Many people want to know
what is happening with the patch queue but having better reporting
doesn't seem to help much the people who are actually processing the
queue, and requires more work.

I'm not sure I follow. I tried last week to give some hours for patch
review. What actually happened was that I had to wade through a ton of
stuff, skipping patches that were already applied, threads that were
purely discussion but not patches, threads about earlier versions of
some patches.
I did manage to find actual patches, but I had then to resort to my own
mailbox to get the actual patch to apply and review.
Now I can't be sure whether the current commitfest is finished or there
are still patches pending review; what patches could use input from me;
what patches I could bounce to the next commitfest.
Also I don't know what patches we have for the next commitfest. I would
gladly give some time to put up a Wiki page to list the patches for the
next commitfest. Would that be helpful?

Yep, that describes the painful process well.
I have tried to stay on top of patches already applied but I am doing a
clock sweep over the queue and you probably caught a spot I was nearing.
The rest is clearly hard to digest. Ideally I could group all related
patches together, and separate the pure TODO items from the patches that
might be TODO items or might be applied. (Though I do need comments on
the pure TODO items too.)
The problem is that I know of no easy way to do that and the time to
doing it is better spent actually processing/deleting items.

You can download an mbox of the entire queue if that helps.

Uh, I don't think we have any patches for the next commit fest yet.

There are two or three items that we have decided to hold over, although
maybe it is sufficient if they are entered as TODOs.
Also, we *have* received several patches since the start of commit fest.
Somebody needs to check through them and see which are revisions of
patches already in the queue (legit material for this fest) and which
are new stuff (not so much).

We certainly have, for example

Simon has been submitting patches as well.

I mean we haven't added any for the next one, but I could move them to
patches_hold, I guess.

I've also tried to find stuff I could review and failed repeatedly. I have a
week now where I could spend a lot of time on this so I'll try again.
Am i looking at the right list though? The one I'm looking at still starts
with a patch to which Tom commented "This is superseded by a later submission"
which I think has been there since pretty much the start of the commitfest.

I tried this once already. I dumped the first page of Bruce's queue into a
wiki page and laid it out in a column. But I wanted to add links back to the
messages in the archive and ran into a problem with that. It also would have
been a pain because Bruce's list is divided up into pages.
If we modify the archives to have a URL to go straight to a message-id and
Bruce generated a list all on one page including comments and message-ids then
I could process them all into a wiki page in a few hours.

Yeah, there is still a boatload of stuff that could be removed from the
patch queue. I think that Bruce is intentionally leaving in all traffic
related to an open patch, which is okay by me as long as the obsolete
versions are properly commented. But I wish he'd get on with removing
the stuff that is marked as already committed (some in 8.3!).

That's been a pain in the rear since the start. Bruce, could we combine
it into one page now that it's relatively short?

I am doing a clock sweep through the list, and it takes a week for each
cycle.

Ideally we could have a message id link to the official archives. Off
list tell me what you want and I will generate it.

Well I was going to let this commit-fest go forward and then try to get what I
would want from you when a) the list is down to a manageable size and b) isn't
actively being used.
What I wanted was a page that included all comments, the message-id of each
message, the author of each message, and included everything on one page.
The other half of this was modifying the archives so that we had a URL we
could pass a message-id to. I think we all agreed that would be a wonderful
thing to have regardless of how we tackle this list anyways.
Magnus or Dave? Is there anything I can help with to get the URL to
message-ids going?

You can get the message-ids by grep'ing the mbox file, and the comments
are all:
http://js-kit.com/rss/momjian.us/msgid-*
e.g.
http://js-kit.com/rss/momjian.us/[email protected]
So, once you grep the message ids, you can just pull the comments using
the above URL with your current message-id. Is there anything else?

Huh, fascinating. it's actually an RSS feed.
I can fool around with this. I should be able to snarf in the mbox and format
a wiki page with the comments from js-kit and links to the message-id.

Alvaro reminded me that '@' can be used in a URL, just not in the host
name part, so I have converted over to using messsge-ids for permanent
URLs, e.g.:
http://momjian.us/mhonarc/patches/[email protected]
I will keep the MD5 URLs too as well until this commit fest is over.

Hmm, there's the permalink stuff I mentioned via Jabber. I think you
could do this right away, and not wait until the next commitfest.
The other thing Greg is saying is to remove paginated output. You can
set mhonarc to put all messages in a single page. I'm not sure this is
such a hot idea for all users, because such a page would be humongous;
but perhaps runnning mhonarc twice is a good idea?

Yes. My experience is similar to yours. I'm not prepared to spend hours
perusing a mailbox again. We have unfortunately been badly underprepared

Surely that there is an emerging consensus to that effect means that it's
not as unfortunate as it might be? I seem to recall the original
announcement suggesting this was an experiment. I wouldn't expect the first
couple rounds to go without a hitch; as long as there is procedural
improvement the next time, that's a good thing, right?

Yeah, we expected to have glitches. I think we now have a much better
idea what sort of status-tracking support we need for future fests.

Yes. I'm not meaning to whine, sorry if it comes over like that. It
looks to me like we need a sort of prep phase for a commit-fest, so the
people switching into commit-fest mode when it starts can do so with
little friction.

For how often it happens, its worth nothing: I agree 100% with Joshua
here, but, if Bruce wants to create a list on his personal domain (which,
in itself is a failure point as it requires that *his* domain is not 100%
perfect), it doesn't mean that anyone actually has to *use* it ... I know
I never will, since there already exist faster, more reliable, contact
methods ...

I think we need a more centralized contact system than we have now.
Personally when I don't get email I am unsure who to contact (because
community email is down). The email list was a method to centralize
that. The list of possible contact methods listed confirms my point.

Perhaps you should have a jabber.postgresql.org account?

Your jabber account can not talk to [email protected] when
there is a problem with archives. Marc should really be on it too but
besides you too, all of the sysadmins and -www team is already on it.

You shouldn't need more than one account -- jabber should allow

That's a pity. It dramatically reduces the utility of the system, and I've
yet to hear a justification for it in any installation I've seen.

Agreed. It would be very nice if it were a usable system for the
outside world.

Apparently I have more work to do than anyone else :P. I have zero
desire to have people contacting me from gmail, yahoo or other such
thing. I am busy enough.
The purpose of the jabber server was to allow contributors direct
access to each other. If we open it up, that has the potential for even
more communication overload.
If we really want a public jabber server we can do that but I would
like it to be separate from the internal jabber.postgresql server. We
could then setup the public jabber server so that it can communicate
with the private jabber server.
This would allow people who want to stay off the public im channels to
stay off but still be able to communicate with those that wish to have
a public jabber.postgresql.org account.

I'm not sure I follow this argument. If people don't want to be
contacted by outer people, just don't add them as contacts.

Well I could be wrong on this but my understanding is that not adding
them to contacts does not prevent them from trying to be contacted.
One of the major reasons people are fleeing yahoo messenger (and why I
dropped it years ago) is the amount of people sending me things like:
SBF18 36/24/36
I am entirely too old to be futzing with that. Not to mention I
am married and it was likely some man sending the message in the
first place. Instant messaging is a collaborative work tool for me. I
don't want to be contacted with:
Hey... your that postgresql dude aren't you?
Hey... can I ask you a quick autovacuum question, you work with Alvaro
right?
Hey... What does Devrim really look like, he sounds cute?
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake

Funny, I had this exact problem with Yahoo and found the answer last
week. In Pidgin under Tools/Privacy, if I choose Yahoo, I can select
"Allow only the users on my buddy list" and that should take care of
troll IM's. Jabber also has that option. I assume all IM tools have
that option.

Hmm, I have no idea what these numbers mean (I can guess), but I think I
only got annoyed once via IM and then I learned to set the privacy
setting.

If people want the public chat, why don't they just use gtalk or
whatever public service they prefer?
I don't see a reason for us to run one private and one public server. In
fact, I don't see a reason for us to run a public one at all - if we
were running that, we could just as well run nothing.
AFAIK every reasonable IM client people would use today can easily add
two jabber accounts (or more), so I don't see the problem, really.

I agree with that. The problem is that the protocol is actually designed so
that you don't need these infernal private servers.

Part of the point of the Jabber protocol is to avoid having to track which
account you have to use to talk to which people. Having all these private
servers is taking us back to the days of GEnie, CompuServe, and other such
closed networks: you had to know which gateway (or series of gateways, in
the case of UUCP mail) to use in order to reach your party. Computers are
better at routing than humans.

Marc, apparently the signature separators on Majordomo are now broken.

Fixed ... and I think I know why (raw vs formatted config in same file) ...
when I modified the delivery_rules, it regenerated the 'formatted version' of
the config file, which is what I modified last time ... just fixed the 'raw'
formatting also, so we should be good through other mods to delivery_rules ...

This comes back to defining teams which is already being discussed in
another thread. The people that need to be contacted are the sysadmins
team but we need to know how. Right now, the only people that know how
to get a hold of the sysadmins team, is the sysadmins team :P.
As I said previously, we are attacking the wrong problem. The problem
is not detection (although it could be improved), the problem is not
communication (see my 99% remark).
The problem is one of complexity of environment and resources to manage
that environment. This is already being addressed on the sysadmins list
and I expect that it will be resolved within 2 weeks. Does that sound
about right Marc?
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake

My big point is if the sysadmins team is hosted by the postgresql.org
domain, how do we communicate with them when postgresql.org email is
down?

the sysadmin team already maintains a list of emergency contacts
including external email, phone numbers, alternative contacts in
addition to the what we are usually using to communicate (IM,personal
email, the lists) - not sure if we need to duplicate that ...

I would rather see it hosted somewhere else but I don't like to ask
someone to set something up if I can set it up myself. If someone else
sets it up, that is even better.

There is one for sysadmins already. Every email on sysadmins has "If the
PostgreSQL.org mailing lists are down, use the auxillary list
[email protected] "
I'm nto sure if that one is synced automatically though. Josh?

And no, I don't think it's ever been used because in the event of
major problems Magnus, Stefan and I communicate via MSN, Jabber, email
or phone - and when Marc is needed and is asleep (which tends to be
the case at the time when things generally seem to go wrong), we page
him.

Plus, in my case, if there is a problem, chances are its affecting my personal
email too :) Paging, in my case, should always be first method of contact ..
MSN/Yahoo second (will get signed up with the jabber.postgresql.org as soon as
someone tells me how) ...

Trust in the fact that by the time you would notice a problem, we're already
working on fixing it ... Stefan has everything monitored automatically, which
sends out auto-notices to 'those that can fix it' ... by the time you would
notice it, we're already deep into fixing it ...

So i think the problem is not that you (sysadmin team) already know.
The problem is that the others does not know that you know.
Try to communicate that you are working on a specific problem. One
possible solution: a status page, was already mentioned earlier.

I have a couple of thoughts wrt this. AUIU we're using nagios, it should be
possible to set up sysadmins and bruce with nagios accounts so we can login
and view the pretty colors that explain what is up or down.
Second, as I think about it, I think the only member of our sysadmin team who
has ops on IRC is Joshua. Perhaps we should see about having a number of us
get ops so we can post notices there. It won't reach everyone, but would hit
a large % of people, and the network is completly seperate in all ways from
the postgresql.org infrastructure.

Yes, Magnus has already set me up with a nagio account.

I have IRC ops too. But I am really looking for something that notifies
me that there is a problem, rather than having me go looking for
information. If email is down, people should be able to subscribe to
alerts and status reports.

'k, I can guarantee you that if/when there is a problem, my focus is going to
be on *fixing* the problem, not sending out status messages to the effect of
"its still down" ...

Any reliable network infrastructure will have the ability for the users
of that infrastructure to get a status update on a particular problem. I
am able to do this even with my uber cheap DSL line. I call the status
line when there is a problem and a nice little attendant says, "Yo... we
know there is a problem in hood river, ETA to fix, 2 hours".
Do I think it is reasonable that Marc or anyone else start sending out
status messages? No.
Do I think it is reasonable that when there is a problem that a ticket
be created on pmt.postgresql.org that describes the problem, and when
the problem is fixed (or if the problem is going to be longer term),
that ticket be updated and closed? Yes.
We are either a network of professionals supporting an infrastructure,
or were not.
Whether we like it or not, the moment we agreed to be on sysadmins@,
postgresql.org became our customer. We should act like they are our
customer and provide the relevant and appropriate customer
communications. That means, tickets, updates, communication, and
documentation.
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake

Nagios can be very noisy, however we could have a "status" email list
that nagios sent to. I warn you though, it can be very... very noisy.

A filter can be very effective here ;-)
At least ppl cannot blame someone that they don't get information about
a problem.
So if nagios is noisy it's up to the receiver to handle the messages.
Kind regards
P.S.: and yes, i know, how noisy it can be, the sms inbox on my mobile
tells stories - but that's better than not knowing what's going on.

Sorry for abusing this thread: does someone know from mind how to
register the other PostgreSQL channels on IRC if there is no op around?
That's not yet a problem, but i don't want to wait if we need an op
around.
Kind regards
