Administration

• Membership of pinger-my is in https://groups.google.com.
• Bebo pointed out that the International Web Conference will be in San Francisco in 2019 (see http://www.wikicfp.com/cfp/servlet/event.showcfp?eventid=77195&copyownerid=85335).  There are a whole range of topics. He would love to see something submitted related to PingER.
  • Maybe something on Android PingER and potential uses.

...

• Future meetings are moved to Tuesdays Pacific time.
• Bebo: tried to contact Dr. A. Sai Sabitha by email to see how to move forward with the Android PingER project, in particular, schedule a meeting. 
  • Les forwarded recent emails to Amity, to Bebo.- Done
  • No response from Amity to Bebo's email
  • Les proposed a meeting with Amity.
  • Dr A. Sai Sabitha provided first draft 
• Les: invited Dr. Taha to join the pinger-my email list. 
• Wajahat: will provide a list of working or potentially working (e.g. being worked on) Pakistani MAs to Les. 
• Saqib and Les: worked on being able to gather data from  2001:da8:270:2018:f816:3eff:fef3:bd3 IPv6 node in Beijing working again.
  • Les added a lot of debugging, now appears to be working since 9/11/2018.
• Umar: update his section on the comparison IPv6 vs IPv4 ping RTTs and TCP vs ICMP/ping RTTs.
• Johari: enter Umar and Dr. Taha into http://pinger.unimas.my/pinger/contact.php
• Charnsack: We need to get the latest pinger2.pl measurement agent script installed at Ubru so we can get better logging and see why the other hosts are not being monitored.

...

• Les identified and sanitized a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) exposure in ping-data.pl. He sent out a notice to update. Saqib has updated. Unfortunately cannot see from outside the Great Wall of China.
• Les cleaned up the Beacons. Now have 1 or more Beacons in  > 158 different countries, all are working except one inSyria.
• There was a problem gathering data from  2001:da8:270:2018:f816:3eff:fef3:bd3 the Guangzhou IPv6 host in Beijing. Since it does not use the standard way of gathering data (ping_data.pl), but instead uses anonymous FTP, the standard way of debugging the problem does not work.  Les and Saqib worked on to provide SLAC access to various log files etc. via the anonymous FTP proxy. Added extra debugging to proxy gatherer, it is in production

Raspberry Pi version 1 PingER MA at SLAC

• This was installed in mid 2015 as part of the ePingER project (see ePinger Project at SLAC). It has run flawlessly without manual intervention for over 3 years, it seems OK nowautomatically recovering from power outages etc.  The OS failed a security scan. Rather than upgrade etc., since it has served its time, we decided to decommission it and focus more on the PingER/Android project. Bebo I have the Rapsberry Pi and AD card.
