• Nov 5, 2021

  • How do we prevent spam blocker

    • We used a google group support-group@developer.ucsb.edu, because it doesn’t have a spam blocker.

  • How to share the support login email

    • Maybe we could change the MFA to use a shared token that we could store in Secret Server

    • We set the recovery email to support-group@developer.ucsb.edu

  • in admin emails - use the support-group@developer.ucsb.edu email instead of the admin drupal group

  • security update that needs to be applied

  • upgrade to Drupal 9 - we need to replace 2 modules before we can upgrade

    • Encrypt - we are not using it

    • Markdown - it is used everywhere

    • Elda hasn’t checked the custom modules to see if we will have issues

    • lots of files under root that need to be moved

Jun 4, 2020 Steven and Seth met with the students. They are continuing to grow the sites. Two new members of the team are taking over. Henry is graduating, Jimmy is staying.

Meeting and group focus year 2021

• Project focus

  • Resolve site issues after Drupal 8 migration

  • Transition the site to Elda’s team for maintenance

  • Drupal 9 migration

  • Front page redesign

  • AWS - migrate the Heroku code and the sql server database

  • Account cleanup automation

  • Identity integration and automation 

• Apigee Support

  • 1 FTE on the apigee team to help with student development oversight and support

  • Now the students have to contact so many groups to have their accounts setup, an FTE can really help with that. Adding the functionality to developer.ucsb.edu to create accounts.

    • Drupal - OK to work with a student

    • For other projects like identity account creation and others it will be difficult to work with a student
