Team - I'm sure most of you are aware now that I've been hired as the part-time sysadmin for the GNOME Foundation. I'm honored to be given this opportunity, and I look forward to working with and meeting more of the talented people that are part of this project. One of the things I'd like to start with is compiling a list of all the tasks (large and small) that we'd like to see get done.
I'm sure the pending tasks on bugzilla is a good start, but what else is there? Do we have _everything_ that we'd like to see done (both short-term and long-term) actually written down? I'd like to hear what everyone has to say. Whether it is updating and expanding documentation, fixing minor issues with services that have been ignored, migrating services to and from different boxes... anything. >From there we can prioritize and get started on really maturing the infrastructure. I'd also like to hear from people that might not have access to the servers but would like to contribute. I'm sure there are a number of ways that we can use your skills toward improving things. I already have a few items on my list that don't require server access but do require programming ability. I believe it is important in the free software world to help find a role for anyone willing to contribute time and ability, however minor it might be. Lastly I want to assure everyone that I see this role primarily as a point of contact and coordinator, not an in-charge position. I'm not here to assign work or "be the boss". I'll be the first to admit that people on this team are more experienced than I am in many areas. I primarily want to focus on making sure that each persons skills are being leveraged and that the work is getting done. With that, please feel free to simply dump out all your ideas and I'll start prioritizing them as best I can. Again, I look forward to working with everyone and I know together we can make this infrastructure as solid and reliable as the project it supports.
