These are current on-going CSC projects:

* [[Hardware Selection Guidelines]]
** 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)
* [[Library Project]]

* [[Filesystem replication]]
* Getting the backup mirror running
* Seting up virtual mail-boxes and virtual aliases for clubs.
** This will be very useful when we want to do maintenance on the main mirror server
* Getting a IPv6 subnet
** (Update on 2023-01-25) CSCF used to have a mirror but it's no longer there. They might bring it back after May
* Club CMSs, etc...

* Virtualizing services
* Password manager server for MathSoc
* Setup mailing list for webmasters of clubs we host so they can receive service related announcements from us
** Meant for non-critical passwords. We are not manned and funded enough for more professional, large scale deployments
* Setup a reliable programming contest framework
** Use [https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden vaultwarden]?
