This is an old revision of the document!

We're planning a small workshop-type event to let anyone interested find out about Tardis, meet some of the people currently involved in running it and give people a chance at some hands-on work with help close at hand.

There's no need to have a Tardis account in advance. We will be happy to sort out accounts on the day.

Some existing projects we might work on:

moving services on to the xen system
setting up the new firewall / router machine
overhaul the firewall scripts
sort out ssh.reaper (a Solaris login host)
update packagetools
make lists.tardis on a xen host or solaris container
set up a Tardis news blog and mailing list
…
other things people will add here

You might also start something new; set up a web application, try out new tools and make them available to others, … We will also be happy to help people learn general system adminstration skills and show how our existing systems and services are set up.

We intend to hold the lab on the weekend of the 2nd/3rd of December in JCMB at King's Buildings. It would help planning if you add a note to this page (or mail bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk) if you have a preference for the day and time. Holding the lab in JCMB gives us access to the hardware.

Coffee will be provided, of course.

People

A list of people who intend to come. Feel free to add yourself (if you don't have an account on the wiki then mail me and I'll update this page), or just turn up on the day.

bacam. Particularly interested in getting the new firewall going and moving services to Xen. Might do some Debian packaging of piperlog if I get bored. Happy to help out with anything else.
