I don't think any of the 3 admins have responded yet to my question yesterday asking for task information with dependencies. This seems like a good time to make the policy on e-mail response time official.
I proposed months ago that every admin be required to respond within 24 hours to any e-mail clearly addressed to him or to admins in general, asking for a response. This should include e-mail sent to hcoop-sysadmin. The only exceptions would be if the admin has previously announced his e-mail absence on hcoop-sysadmin for a particular time period that includes the present; or for really serious emergencies. So how about it? Can each admin please acknowledge on this list that he will follow this policy from now on? I feel like I'm being pushed by circumstances into acting as too much of a hard-nosed manager, but I really have no idea what progress is occurring and what our timeframe is for starting member migration. I would be more OK with admins responding to messages saying that something has come up and they can't deal with a request for a while. Silence from everyone is a little much to take. In general, I think we have some serious dysfunction in organizing volunteers ATM, and I'm starting to seriously consider whether I should be accepting the negative effect on my life that comes from having to manage system administration tasks. When I asked for others to take over all sysadmin tasks, I meant for _management_ of sysadmin tasks to be included, too, not just technical work. Maybe I wasn't clear about it, but I don't think I'll be able to force myself to keep doing what I'm doing here for much longer. I enjoy creating custom software like domtool, but that's as far as I want to commit. _______________________________________________ HCoop-SysAdmin mailing list [email protected] http://hcoop.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hcoop-sysadmin
