Hardware is important, but let's not forget that system administrator
time is at least as important to keep an infrastructure running smoothly.
Can we find ways to avoid relying solely on volunteer time to support
the infrastructure? What about including funded sysadmin time in our new
plan?
Please add the idea of paid SAC time to the wiki page.
I did contemplate this after the last board meeting where it was
mentioned. A few ideas,
* Stipend for up to a set limit of hours per month,
** Hours maybe approved by the committee before working
* Earning points towards things like Foss4g
Calling all Project Steering Committees, SAC is looking at the future of
OSGeo hosted services. Please chime in with your wants and needs for the
next 3-5 years. We want to maximize services while being efficient about
effort (pooling sys admin time amongst projects).
