I'm somewhat surprised not to see Olav Vetters as part of the team. If you want interview questions feel free to ask, I sysadmin an enterprise environment for long while now although not one devoted to programmers. sri -- -- Sriram Ramkrishna (sriram.ramkrishna_@@_...@.gmail.com (remove _@@_) ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list

So curious, how come Olav is not part of the interview team since he's the most experience in the GNOME infrastructure sysadmining stuff? I have no hiring experience. Jrb has this, and still has root access. I've been trying to file bugs for everything which should be done within the GNOME infrastructure (sysadmin product, only a few bugs are hidden), so that should give a good overview of what needs to be done. If you want interview questions I can provide some being a sysadmin for these past 15 years in an enterprise environment. -- Regards, Olav ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list

I did not think that there was enough choice in candidates to provide a useful election debate. There was also the fact that a few people I expected to run did not. Those 2 problems, and the fact that I was told by a few people that I should consider running, swayed my decision.

A question addressed to late runners... As I expect you didn't know in advance the deadline for announcing candidacies would be delayed, what in those two extra days finally convinced you to run? In my case, the timing was not good. I am moving to another country next Friday, until one week before I was not sure when I would move or if I would able to do it or not. So, I have been busy with all the paperwork related to that, selling things, closing accounts, stopping services, everybody want to say goodbye, etc. Also, I had to accomplish with some deadlines in order to have my master's dissertation today (in 3 hours more). When I had a bit of time, I spent it with pending stuffs that these days requires more attention (i.e. with the travel committe for GUADEC) and to take a break. Yesterday at 18:00 (22:00 UTC) I could sat down to think about it quietly and write my statement. Now you know the reason if I can not reply questions promptly during the next days. Be sure I am trying my best.

You probably more than most have an opinion on what type of person you would want handling this environment. I'm sure jrb knows but I know you're the one doing it on a daily basis and I trust your judgement. Maybe we can move this to gnome-infrastructure if we want to further discuss what qualifications we are looking for in general.
