- On going investigation into possible attack on login/favicon or both.
Notes:
- Blockers for Xenial upgrade are being tracked as github issues, https://github.com/edx/configuration/issues
- Currently we are working on updating the Forum test configuration so that we are using multiple containers and compose rather than install the service directly on top of the container.
- Native installation, the docker container will be on the virtual box ubuntu instance on your outermost host?
- On going investigation into possible click-jacking vector: https://robinlinus.github.io/socialmedia-leak/

- Question about running the notifier, apparently does not support concurrent instances
- This is true, multiple schedulers will schedule the same messages and there is not concept of a shared lock
- Session store, any disadvantages to using the database sessions store?
- Felipe is using it in production now
- edX uses it in a few places and the only issue is that it does not clean up expired sessions
- Change to OpsGenie, what was the rationale
- Largely cost as we were expanding our userbase
- Happy with OpsGenie
