Hi,

Here are the minutes of the meeting. They can also be found online, with

=== Update on postgrey bug 153996 ===

nealmcb asked about the state of bug 153996.[1] The package has been sitting in
-proposed for a few weeks and seems to fix the problem.

[1]: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/db4.4/+bug/153996

ACTION: mathiaz will ask pitti about the state of bug 153996.

=== Review ACTION points from previous meeting ===

sommer started to work on including a default ssl configuration in apache.
mathiaz explained that there are a couple of bugs related to this issue
([2],[3]). He also suggested to get in touch with the Debian maintainers to
discuss the proposed solution. The main issue is that Debian doesn't have a
standard way to deal with SSL certificates. Ubuntu uses the ssl-cert package
and the snakeoil certificate to handle this.

     "Out of the box SSL config should be made available for Apache." 
[3]: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2/+bug/77675
     "apache2-ssl-certificate has gone missing since feisty"

configuration.
