==Stuff That Needs To Be Addressed==
* https is not default everywhere
* icinga/monitoring project needs killed
* Landscape - I appreciate NCommanders ability to obtain a product normally sold for free, but if this is not being used it should not be running and using resources. (helium (killed here), perhaps others)
* Should have some sort of SN password safe
* Privilege Duplication - making sure that all services have multiple admins
* Systems Documentation needs to revised and brought up to date.
* Work Coordination, not always good communication when fundamental things change.
* There is no firewall coding at all. Something I normally set up before even one network cable is plugged in. I understand the desire to have an open system on public interfaces, but I see no reason that systems not publicly accessible such as database backends should not be firewalled off from Chinese and other such hackers. Such as the attempts being made on Helium from 120.192.20.162 120.192.0.0/11 China Mobile communications corporation at the moment I am writing this.
==Work Notes==
DNS is completely run and managed by Linode's DNS Manager service.  This was an expedient decision when trying to get off bluehost.  We may want to investigate putting the master zone file on helium or boron and having external services handle serving out our dns.
