7. Any Other Business (WG News, New Proposals, etc.)

8. Tools Team Report -- 11 February 2020

1. Datatracker Projects
  - The plan has seen a few significant updates in the last week:
    -- https://trac.tools.ietf.org/tools/ietfdb/browser/trunk/PLAN
    -- Increased the priority of capturing a record of all email
       sent from the Datatracker.
    -- Raised the priority for the transition to Django 2.0.
  - A contract for Meeting Application Improvements was awarded to
    IOLA.  The work related to the database models is complete and
    deployed; the works related to the user interface is underway,
    and it is expected to complete in the next few weeks.
  - A contract for the first part of the automated meeting schedule
    generation was awarded to DashCare, and work is underway.  This
    is the first part of a bigger project; this part will provide
    better models for conflicts that have previously been captured
    as lore or text comments.  This part of the project is expected to
    complete in the by the end of February 2020.
  - Contracts for Tools Maintenance and Minor Tools Enhancements were
    awarded to Elf Tools and Painless Security, respectively.  In both
    cases, work is underway.  Painless Security was give three initial
    tasks to familiarize them with the Datatracker code, and two have
    been completed. Painless Security will also be learning the code
    for other tools; they have begun a minor enhancement to the IETF
    website.

2. Community & Other Projects
  - Matomo has been integrated with the IETF Wagtail website, and it
    is collecting the desired analytics.

3. RFC Services Projects
  - One document is blocked on a bug in xml2rfc; the fix will be posted
    this week.
  - The Tools Team developed a Statement of Work for a security review
    of the tools used by the RFC Production Center, and the IETF LLC
    released the RFP in the first week of February 2020.  The Tools
    Team will assist with the evaluation of bids, which a due on
    4 March 2020.

4. Server Infrastructure
  - We plan to transition all IETF services to a new virtual server
    group on 24 February 2020, which was previously attempted on
    27 January 2020.  The reasons for the failed transition have been
    found in the Datatracker scripts, and they have been resolved.
    This transition will move us to the latest releases for the
    operating system, Python, and other software.
  - A minor release is planned this week to the IETF Wagtail website
    to fix an issue with previewing pages by authors.
  - A major revision to the IETF Wagtail website is planned for later
    this month to remove a previous broken attempt at Datatracker
    integration and simplify many of the models in preparation for
    transition to the current version of Wagtail.
  - The custom DMARC-handling software was deployed for all mail lists
    in June 2018.  This custom software seems to be a better fit for
    the IETF than OpenARC.  However, the custom software does not
    support the Internet-Draft and leadership email aliases.  Once the
    virtual server upgrade is complete, we will investigate how to
    handle these email aliases.

5. YANG Catalog
  - Current focus is to better support the posting of YANG modules by
    other SDOs.
  - A sandbox of the YANGcatalog.org is running in a container.  We
    expect deployment of the containerized version later this year.
  - A contract for YANG Catalog  Maintenance by PANTHEON.tech is
    underway.
