Second Friday of the month, so it is Sourceware Open Office time!

Friday March 13, from 16:00 UTC to 17:00 UTC
At #overseers on irc.libera.chat

$ date -d "Fri Mar 13 16:00 UTC 2026"

Note that the meeting is in UTC, so double check whether you are in
daylight savings time.

Last month we finalized our hardware refresh cycle and moved all
services off bare metal servers onto VMs (for x86_64 hardware) which
greatly simplifies backups, redundancy and moving services around. For
hardware we should be good for the next couple of years now and thanks
to your generous donations our hardware refresh fund is back up
strenght so we are able to replace any server in case they might
break. We now also have two extra forgejo action runners (sw3runner1:
40 vcpus, 256GB mem, 500GB disk and sw3runner2: 16 vcpus, 96GB mem,
420GB disk) which can be used in forge workflows.

Proposed discussion topics:

- forge workflows, setting up new action runners, how is the open, but
restricted, signup working out?

- server1, server2 and server3 are now all VM-first, so we are putting
more services into their own dedicated VMs. What goes where?

- lets work on a budget for more paid staff/contractors to accelerate
our (security) plans (are they complete?)

Sourceware relies on cooperation among a broad diversity of core
toolchain and developer tool projects, hackers, organizations,
ideas, and communication styles. The monthly Sourceware Open Office
meetings are one way of coming together as a community and discuss
our shared development infrastructure. For other ways to participate
