SOWN Projects Group (SOWN-PG)

Progress on:

• SOWN VoIP

Other Issues

• Sown-6core redeployment
  • Redeployed lunchtime Wednesday (11/06/2008)

• Return of Home nodes
  • As of 12:45 on 16/06/2008 one node (University Road) had been down for a significant amount of time. Host is aware of the problems and intends to fix it. Really?

• Progress on Todo list

• AOB
  • Some issues with nagios -> sown-bot -> IRC communication.

    • May need to adjust nagios 'internet' check to avoid spam.
