# Roll call: who's there and emergencies We have a few outstanding issues we're keeping an eye on: - gitlab artifacts partition filling up by lelutin - gitlab CI issues monitored by lavamind - jenkins runners migration to new servers by zen and groente # Express check-in We did our usual quick check-in for blocked tasks and how everyone is doing. # Roadmap discussion anarcat brought back a discussion about priorities and roadmap. As a reminder, we establish [yearly roadmaps][] and we have an active [2026 roadmap][] although many things came up that made it hard to follow. [2026 roadmap]: [TPA 2026 roadmap (#2) · Epics · TPA · GitLab](https://gitlab.torproject.org/groups/tpo/tpa/-/work_items/2) [yearly roadmaps]: [Roadmaps · Wiki · The Tor Project / TPA / TPA team · GitLab](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/wikis/roadmap) The goal of the conversation is to see what we'll work on until the end of the year and get a glimpse of priorities for 2027. This was previously [discussed in March][], at our last formal meeting. [discussed in March]: [2026 03 10 · Wiki · The Tor Project / TPA / TPA team · GitLab](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/wikis/meeting/2026-03-10) We also discussed this informally during a check-in in June, where we wanted to do: - groente: mail \*and\* idm - lavamind: download and support sites in 2026, and openvox (2027?) - zen: prometheus / puppet 2026, firewall / backups 2027? - anarcat: matrix and websites merge - gab: minio Here are per-person priorities. ## lavamind - yec coming quickly, hoping for another push on donate-neo: tech debt   to catchup, rate limiting improvements, before october 2026 - some website migrations to marble in 2026? need to check with the web team - would love to move GitLab artifacts to object storage ## lelutin - minio retirement in 2026 - joining zen in the puppet / tails merge for 2027 ## anarcat - matrix process in 2027 - we should prioritize prometheus, firewall and backups in 2026/2027 - websites merge seems to be a priority for the tails team ## groente - AI / security pre-emption? better incident response? - LDAP cleanup in 2026? - start of an idm in 2027? hard to predict, collaboration is slow - email not blocked on IDM - documents is much harder ## zen - tails merge roadmap need a review. things came up (e.g. migrating   the whole jenkins setup, twice) and we didn't know how much time we   could free up to work on the merge, so we have delays - priorities are finishing prometheus and puppet in 2026 - 2027: firewall is a huge rework and backups are important # Next meeting Next month, we hope to resume our monthly cadence. # Metrics of the month \* host count: 142, LDAP 141 (!), Puppet 141 (!) \* number of Apache servers monitored: 33, hits per second: 625 \* number of self-hosted nameservers: 6, mail servers: 12 \* pending upgrades: 1, reboots: 98 \* average load: 1.78, memory available: 4.4 TB/8.4 TB, running processes: 300 \* disk free/total: 111.7 TB/254.4 TB \* bytes sent: 533.6 MB/s, received: 348.2 MB/s \* [GitLab tickets][]: 286 tickets including...    \* Needs Triage: 1    \* Not Scheduled: 178    \* Backlog: 73    \* Next: 21    \* Doing: 13    \* (closed: 4614)    \* [~Needs Information][]: 5 open, 137 closed    \* [~Needs Review][]: 6 open, 213 closed    \* [~Technical Debt][]: 11 open, 39 closed [Gitlab tickets]: [Issue Boards · Development · Boards · The Tor Project / TPA / TPA team · GitLab](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/boards) [~Needs Information]: [Work items · TPA · GitLab](https://gitlab.torproject.org/groups/tpo/tpa/-/issues/?state=opened&label_name%5B%5D=Needs%20Information) [~Needs Review]: [Work items · TPA · GitLab](https://gitlab.torproject.org/groups/tpo/tpa/-/issues/?state=opened&label_name%5B%5D=Needs%20Review) [~Technical Debt]: [Work items · TPA · GitLab](https://gitlab.torproject.org/groups/tpo/tpa/-/issues/?state=opened&label_name%5B%5D=Technical%20Debt) We have completed all major Debian upgrades and are not currently tracking upgrades, at last! > **···** > > -- > Antoine Beaupré > torproject.org system administration > \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ > tor-project mailing list -- tor-project@lists.torproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to tor-project-leave@lists.torproject.org
