Hi :)
I think that in the specific case of David it would be smart to invite him to
join the sys-admin team. I do appreciate it might not be good to allow
everyone
to join as and when they feel like it but David is a significant contributor to
the docs team in that role. If he isn't invited to join then out will be
missing out on a lot of talent there. Ideally there would be someone from the
Brazilian Team too to spread the load internationally but i don't know of
anyone
in any other team that has shown David's level of commitment and skill in that
particular type of role. To be fair i am not on the Brazilian lists so they
might have someone too.
Regards from
Tom :)

see things like that, but...
Hi David,
I indeed disagree here. The admin team for our central
infrastructure (in contrast to e.g. auxiliary sites, staging systems
etc.) will always be a small closely-knit team of people, with
lots of mutual trust ideally personal relations.
There's a fundamental difference between sysadmin and e.g. hacking
work, in terms of accountability, auditability, liability,
reviewability, reversibility the probability to royally fsck
things up. So applying the same yard stick to both groups will not
work.
Let's meet in Paris talk things through over a beer though. :)
Cheers,
-- Thorsten
