Items discussed
===============

 - Should the weekly meetings be summarized / minuted on
   gnome-infrastructure?
 
   * Ross to write up brief summary of this meeting and post.
     Owen to make a 'meeting time constraints' spreadsheet.

  - Should we remove the keyword from #sysadmin?

   * Consensus was - makes sense to open the channel up and
     create a seperate closed channel in an emergency.

- "Moving forward with sysadmin team". What does that mean? Is there
   anything that needs doing other than sending mail to foundation-list
   pointing to http://sysadmin.gnome.org/helping.html. 

   * Owen to ping gnome-sysadmin to root out anyone particularly
     interested in maintaining a particular service or area of
     responsibility. Owen to send mail to foundation-list.

 - How are we going to handle account requests in the short term? Do we
   need some simple command line python tools?

   * Jonathan and Ross have a small shell script which can be used
     short-term to process requests.

 - Getting PHP back up. What are the priorities? How do we handle
   auditing? How do we allow PHP only in certain directories? Who is
   going to make a proposal for global PHP security configuration?

   * Ross to look at Apache/PHP configuration on window and make
     proposal.

 - Better filtering for mailing lists; how do we get a solution in
   place for virus filtering, virus autoreply filtering,
   forged-spam/virus bounce filtering?

   * Volunteer needed to set up amavisd/clamav on the front-end
      of postfix on the new mailserver.
