The Docket

The Holy Docket, a.k.a. Shit What Needs To Get Done

last updated 11/28/24

• migrate off chimera
• sort out what we want to buy via budget request
  • get more money buy more things
• all our infra is running on old OS versions, which is a pain. e.g. meltdown's version of libvirt/virsh doesn't support live backup creation.
• brainstorm fun services to host on our ample Infrastructure
  • e.g. invidious (yt frontend), nitter (twitter frontend), distro package mirrors, game servers, etc.
• do some severe spring cleaning on the wiki, especially regarding conflicting information re: Infrastructure
  • e.g. the page on Infrastructure:Cyberdelia should be updated to reflect the information that it is not running
• bridge the Matrix room to IRC with puppets instead of a single relay, because pound vtluug chatters expressed their dislike for relay-bots. also, matrix users should be able to use Wadsworth.

About this wiki

This wiki was intended to support *nix usage on campus. Here are suggested items for this wiki:

• Anything related to Linux usage, such as tutorials and other documentation, especially related to that at VT
• Anything related to VTLUUG (meeting minutes, infrastructure, projects, history, etc)
• Technical projects that VTLUUG members (individually or collectively) have done
• General geekery that doesn't fit anywhere else, related to interests of one or more VTLUUG members (e.g. audio gear, coffee, amateur radio, etc.)
• Opinionated content that may not reflect the interests of the entire Virginia Tech or Blacksburg community

Some items are more suited for Gobblerpedia, our sister wiki. These include:

• General content about Blacksburg or Virginia Tech that is non-technical in nature. Please categorize these with Move to Gobblerpedia so we can later migrate them in bulk.
