Ken will grep to find anyone connecting to IP address instead of localhost
Thierry will send list of databases to sysmgrs
CVS
some people, some chapters still using
Later - move things out of user directories
CGResources
Only 150 links
Viv will migrate links manually - ask Justin to do a section or two
CNAMEs
Adam will get zone file to Thierry
FTP
make a list of user accounts to migrate
Move outgoing mail host
Ken to grep through web apps to make sure web apps are configured for move
[Authentication]
- how do we implement a single point authentication mechanism?
- how do we manage existing roles, future roles in Plone and other applications?
Thierry - rights management for various services
Rights management service at ACM, linked to their authentication database
would return correct rights for each application
e.g. user is:
an ACM SIGGRAPH member
a member of the chapters committee
an author on a wiki
Ken: we should store roles on our end
we have a cgi script for SIGGRAPH member access
Thierry
we do our own roles management
set up our own LDAP server?
Adam to give us read access to ACM database
Adam - will give us a separate box to run an LDAP server
Ken will admin the box, Justin will set up the LDAP server, we may need extra help
Adam will give read access to member status DB for members who lose passwords etc

Chapter integration
ACM Chapter Database
central DB exists in production oracle environment
Thiery and Chris + Justin ACM will add our events schema to their environment
Viv to post link on chapters.siggraph.org
campus.acm.org/public/chapters/? ask Thierry.
Chris, Haritini, and Justin will figure out how to connect events to Plone
We need to connect the mailing lists to the ACM db
Haritini
I see it as having two parts
it's a data front-end, we need to go through all the aliases that are already defined in the siggraph domain
we have been generating usernames for people who join siggraph - username@siggraph.org - in the oracle database, and there is a scheme to populate it into the postini spam filters as well
we need to find overlap, figure out what to do with exceptions, and create them
we have a UI for our internal database management system, to see what aliases exist, add new aliases, delete and modify.
don't do multiple addresses behind alias yet, but will
we can have multiple aliases pointing to one real address
don't do multiple aliases for one user pointing to multiple addresses, but will.

David Hook conference call
Chapters event calendar - corresponding with Adam
Thierry - we want to move chapter events into plone
Thierry - we want one web service that allows chapter officers to put in data about their upcoming (and hopefuly past) events
David - we should send a feed to ACM
Thierry - we can revive CAWA as the single point - no, we'll extend plone events
write a script to extract event info
Viveka - pipe out an RSS feed to get it into chapter websites
Thierry - let's make an RSS feed out the the MySQL CAWA database
then Adam can pipe that into the ACM database
David agrees - done!
Thierry - we need to have it operational quickly
David - we need to get chapters a consistent message
