Archived Plans
You can find our plans from previous quarters along with requests from the community on this page. In Q1 2023, we separated the work items of Information Technology from the Information Security, Risk and Compliance and added them into a separate area. We are updating this page at the end of each quarter.
Q3 2023 Plans and Community Input
| Plans | ||
|---|---|---|
| Item | Activity | Description |
| 1 | Email infrastructure |
We are upgrading our mailing list software from Mailman 2 to Mailman 3, containerising it in the process. We have new Salt-managed MX servers and containerised Mailman 3 for mailing lists. We migrated internal mailing lists, and we are busy with the migration of external ones. |
| 2 | Network Attached Storage (NAS) |
We are revisiting our NAS infrastructure configuration and consulting with our suppliers on the best way forward regarding our storage, backup infrastructure and setup. We are now in the process of provisioning our new infrastructure related to our storage and backup services. The work is expected to be finished in 2023. |
| 3 | Containerisation and Kubernetes |
We are building a resilient Kubernetes setup in the cloud (EKS) and on-premise to host our production applications. At the same time, we are in the process of containerising our existing applications. |
