Re: [Wikitech-l] Old tiles.wfmlabs.org maps services need maintainers to keep them alive after december 18th

OK. Thanks for letting me know that. It looks like I've been declined but at 
least I'm getting some idea on how things work around here...

 Keep in mind that I'm new to wikimedia and don't know much about the 
 infrastructure or procedures, so what do I need to do to be given access 
 and volunteer to do this?

That is the process for getting shell access on production [e.g. servees
directly running Wikipedia]. Which is rather different (and much harder)
than getting access to an abandoned tool.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Old tiles.wfmlabs.org maps services need maintainers to keep them alive after december 18th

[Alexander Vassilevski]

I created a task in phab to be added to NDA ldap, so I can sign the NDA and get 
shell access:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T211996
One of the subtasks (from 
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Volunteer_NDA#Privileged_LDAP_or_shell_access
 ) on this is to get

[ ] At least one comment of support from a Wikimedia Foundation employee, 
explaining why it is a good idea to accept your request
[ ] A comment of approval from one Wikimedia Foundation manager (usually the 
manager of an employee supporting you).
[ ] (Have someone with access double-check which mediawiki.org account that the 
manager's Phabricator account is linked to, where the SUL account was created, 
and how it was created on that wiki.)

Can someone do this? If you need to see some qualifications I can try to get 
some code of  mine to you from some old puppet stuff I've done and I can show 
you my github, where you can see some of my code.
If I'm making a rookie mistake here and this type of access is not needed, let 
me know. I'm also sasheto +i on IRC #wikimedia-tech, so you can message me 
there too, I check it from time to time.

Re: [Wikitech-l] [Maps-l] Old tiles.wfmlabs.org maps services need maintainers to keep them alive after december 18th

[Derk-Jan Hartman]

This is not a complete image. As there are no maintainers responding, it
requires deconstructing and analysing what is there now for this specific
tool, reworking that into a new system, testing that new system and then
switching from old to new.
