[Ben Wilson]

*Infrastructure Committee Meeting, Wednesday, 24-March-2021*

*Present* – Ben Wilson, Jos Purvis, Jeff Ward, Don Sheehy, Wayne Thayer,
Corey Bonnell, Ryan Sleevi, Aaron Gable, Iñigo Barreira, Daniela Hood, and
Dean Coclin

*Antitrust Statement* – was read by Jos.

*Approval of Minutes* – Previous minutes from Feb. 24th and from F2F
approved.

*Mailman Recap* – we had changes to improve searchability and the script
broke permissions on mail server. Since fixing those, there have been no
problems. Jim at GoDaddy has implemented monitoring. Sitemaps appear to be
running. Wayne checked with Google Webmaster Tools which indicates that it
is processing site maps. We should see better searchability. It appears
that script was running as Mailman and re-writing permissions to Mailman
and Apache couldn’t read them. We put Apache into the Mailman group to fix
it. We are also running a backup process nightly on S3.

*Github Updates* – Nothing new.  Be aware that redlines for pull requests
are wonky, while they do work for commits. HTML generation is on the
roadmap. There have been requests to improve fonts, font sizes, etc. We
should also look at getting an SMTP server to send daily or weekly
summaries of Github activity to a list.

*Website* – At the F2F, we discussed what we should focus on.  Have people
had a chance to think about the website?  Dimitris sent out notes from
discussions he had with Fotis a few years back. The notes suggest a top
level structure with the following headings:  About (History, Overview,
Contact); Technology (OpenSSL, NSS, etc.); Participate (Members, Interested
Parties, Working Groups); News; and Resources. Ben thinks the Home Page
needs to be revised to be more member-centric or guidelines-centric. Ben
has prepared an Interested Parties page that isn’t linked yet. Also, he
could move the menus around without changing content. Jos suggested that we
find the old test website and use that as a mock-up for everyone to
evaluate.  Ben and Jos will see if they can find it or set up a new one.

*Membership Management* – Let’s start with a new sheet. That way we don’t
break any current processes.

*Meeting adjourned.*
