Dear maemo/meego enthusiasts and Linux lovers,

as most of you likely know, Nokia stopped supporting the maemo.org 
infrastructure at the beginning of the year. After two server migrations (Nokia 
-> Nemein in December 2012, Nemein -> community), maemo.org is now completely 
community supported. Unfortunately, maemo.org was delivered to the community in 
less-than-100%-working order and our small techstaff team succesfully manged to 
move the maemo infra to community owned servers and keeping services alive 
until now. But they are totally overloaded and are yet to have dedicated 
maintainers for all divisions.

So we, the maemo community council and the Hildon Foundation decided to ask the 
community for their urgent help. We are seeking maintainers for  
- bugzilla  
- drop  
- garage  
- midgard/cms/web  
- repository  
- wiki  
- XEN  
- other co-sysops for Apache, mysql, php, Python

Understanding of requirements of a productive system is mandatory. You need to 
know about peer-review and proper documentation and coordination with sysops. 
We have no manuals about how stuff works, you need to find your way around by 
investigating the existing system. Due to the lack of documentation for midgard 
and maemo.org, we need your knowhow in order to point techstaff to solutions. 
Without sufficient manpower, the problems we are facing are putting the whole 
infrastructure at risk. If things remain unsolved, we will be forced to shut 
down critical services or even the whole of maemo.org sooner or later. We need 
your assistance in resolving these issues.

This request comes with no particular expectations and it may seem quite 
obvious, but we have to stress the fact that without community help, a 
community-driven infra will fail.

You are probably the right one who knows about these services well enough to 
help us keep them operating. Even just a small contribution of time is 
extremely welcome. Whether that's having some time set aside for a walkthrough 
of the architecture; the ability to answer a bunch of questions; or pointers to 
documentation we may have missed - we'd appreciate anything.  
So if you think you can help, please offer it here or send a mail to 
[techst...@maemo.org][1].

Thanks for reading and kind regards,  
Maemo Community Council & Hildon Foundation
