#Topics

• [hexa] Vaultwarden mail delivery

  • prevents onboarding of new people
  • https://github.com/NixOS/infra/issues/430
  • solution: https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-wiki-infra/blob/main/modules/postfix.nix
  • talking to Julian if he can take it, with fallback to hexa

• Netlify

  • Need to talk to Marketing if GitHub pages would be sufficient
  • Netlify provides preview environments
  • Annoying because
  • it's expensive,
  • DNS is crap,
  • cost is per-user
  • so we have to share a password.

• [hexa] API modernization in sign-binary-cache script

  • https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-channel-scripts/pull/72
  • Not used for hydra.nixos.org
  • Should close the PR and remove the script to not mislead more people

• [zimbatm] Wants to transition out of the team

  • Talked with hexa previously in private to take over team lead
  • The person doing the things should be leading the team
  • Transition out over the next month or so
  • Maybe focus for the next month could be on making contributing to the infra repo more comfortable, needs more people who contribute to infra feel welcome
