If you want to start in, the following are up and ready to roll:

  foopy18
  foopy19
  foopy20
  foopy22
  foopy23

I expect foopy20 will need to go down at some point, as its partner foopy21 needs to be swapped out with foopy24, so coordinate with Jake.

New hardware is newest model, which requires Lion. First install will need to be crosschecked that it still works-as-desired. (installation instructions no longer accurate.)

Currently working on foopy18

foopy20 is good to go, and foopy24 is up now.  foopy21 is going to desktop for repairs.

foopy18 has base software installed & tested (first Lion install). Doc updated <https://wiki.mozilla.org/index.php?title=ReferencePlatforms/Test/Foopy> - now see if it's repeatable.

Starting on foopy19

Rest of foopies are provisioned: foopy19, foopy20, foopy22, foopy23, foopy24.

tegras have been configured for the foopies, and added to the staging master, per normal practice, and are processing jobs. After a successful overnight bakein, they can be moved to the production master.

Contains a number of messages to help newbies, and the new tegra data (already used to configure new foopies)

Attachment: helper script to generate json & shell data

automate tedious (hence error prone) data transcription from IT spreadsheet.

Very much an ugly hack, constants need to be manually edited for each batch of new tegras & foopies.

I'm not sure if I want foopies.sh updated from the inventory spreadsheet just yet, but maybe I just need convincing :)

will ask some questions tomorrow and finish the review
