* New general-use server
These are current on-going CSC projects:
** The current workhorse (high-fructose-corn-syrup) is almost 11 years old now. Time to upgrade it
** We have heard a lot of requests for GPUs. If we're doing it, we will need new servers to put into (the current one only have PCIe2.0, and the power supply is not powerful enough)


* Getting the backup mirror running
* [[CEO]]
** This will be very useful when we want to do maintenance on the main mirror server
* [[Filesystem replication]]
** (Update on 2023-01-25) CSCF used to have a mirror but it's no longer there. They might bring it back after May
* Debian-izing our Bittorent tracker software

* Seting up virtual mail-boxes and virtual aliases for clubs
* Password manager server for MathSoc
* Getting a IPv6 subnet
** Meant for non-critical passwords. We are not manned and funded enough for more professional, large scale deployments
* Club CMSs, etc.
** Use [https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden vaultwarden]?
* virtualizing services

* setup mailing list for webmasters of clubs we host so they can receive service related announcements from us
* General Office renovations
* setup a reliable programming contest framework
** Students now prefer to take their own laptops. Find some docks that can provide display output and wired network with one single USB4/Thunderbolt3 wire
* get talks mirrored on mirror.cs for on-campus and resnet people
** Our monitors are too old and are small and washed out. Grab some newer ones
* get caffeine:/users mounted on cscf's linux frontends and cpu servers
** We now have 2 Intel Mac Minis. Set them up. One of them can be used as a macOS workstation for potential iOS/macOS development works
* common club auth

* Add hosts to UW's DNS (Maintain):
* Main mirror server renovations
** fe.csclub (front-end; mutiple A records to taurine and natural-flavours)
** Metric improvements. See [https://github.com/martin-helmich/prometheus-nginxlog-exporter prometheus-nginxlog-exporter]. Add response time metrics to reflect user experience on mirror
** disk.csclub (CNAME to caffeine; export /users to CSCF)
** Purchase and install a SSD for caching. They should already been purchased. When will they arrive?
