Draft agenda
Fixing the failing CI tests
Issue: Unreliable https://github.com/openstreetmap/chef/actions
Should we make Github Primary? Should we move git.openstreetmap.org to another data centre?
Open Ops Tickets
Review open, what needs policy and what needs someone to help with...
https://github.com/openstreetmap/operations/issues
https://github.com/openstreetmap/dns/issues
https://github.com/openstreetmap/chef/issues
Tile CDN usage policy (OSM, Friends, Others?)
https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/tiles/
Can we continue to be be open to the world, what policies (not yet actions) can we put in place now to encourage people to move to other providers? eg: Do we continue to allow Commercial Sites to use tile.openstreetmap.org ?
High Availability / Redundancy of OpenStreetMap.org (and primary services)
Where do we currently stand? (Hot/Cold/Redundancy etc)
What need doing still?
Should we get another Data Centre?
Tile CDN
Squid / nginx / GeoDNS? Is the software right? Issues and improvement.
What experiments should we be doing to improve the network.
