<ul></ul><p>Scope:</p>
<p>Maintain the following items, meaning setup, updates, upkeep, etc. Basically the leader of this team should have access to make changes to all of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Public Website
<ul>
<li>Wiki</li>
<li>Forum</li>
<li>Blog</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>SCM</li>
<li>Mailing Lists</li>
<li>Servers to run any/all of the above</li>
<li>Registering and adminning the IRC channel</li>
</ul>
<p>Things I'm unsure fit into this team:</p>
<ul>
<li>Do they have root on all of the above?</li>
<li>The legal stuff that needs to get done</li>
<li>Finance/money stuff</li>
</ul> ChiliProject - Task #38: Infrastructure teamhttps://www.chiliproject.org/issues/38?journal_id=892011-01-02T11:31:53+01:00Eric Davis
<ul></ul><p>Muntek Singh:</p>
<p>Added your suggestions to the description.</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Do they have root on all of the above?</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>I'd say yes. This is the whole "hit by the bus" factor, if only one person has root and something happens to them then the project is screwed.</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>The legal stuff that needs to get done</li>
<li>Finance/money stuff</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>No, that would be part of the governance/finance. I consider infrastructure 100% technical (like the IT department).</p> ChiliProject - Task #38: Infrastructure teamhttps://www.chiliproject.org/issues/38?journal_id=1862011-01-10T10:29:10+01:00Eric Davis
<ul><li><strong>Due date</strong> set to <i>2011-01-14</i></li><li><strong>Status</strong> set to <i>In Progress</i></li></ul><p>Since we are getting close to finalizing the project name, we need to get this team setup so it can build/configure the servers. The team scope is good enough for now, so we should pick the team members.</p>
<p>Since this team will have privileged permissions on the servers, I think it should be kept small. For now I think having 2-3 people on it with 1 team lead would work.</p>
<p>To start, <strong>who would like to be the team leader?</strong> This person will need to invest a lot of time over the next two weeks to get all of the infrastructure setup for the launch. They will also need to be highly technical, especially with servers and system administration.</p>
<p>I'm setting a deadline for this decision for the 14th. If we don't have a team leader by that time, I can fill this role on a <strong>temporary</strong> basis to get the project started.</p> ChiliProject - Task #38: Infrastructure teamhttps://www.chiliproject.org/issues/38?journal_id=1962011-01-10T12:21:51+01:00Felix Schäferfelix+chili@oh14.de
<ul></ul><p>I'd be willing to take part in the team, though I have upcoming university tests (mid-february) and won't have much time until then. I might be able to take over the lead then, but I'm only proficient in administering a gentoo stack, so I wouldn't count myself as first choice if we go with anything else ;-)</p> ChiliProject - Task #38: Infrastructure teamhttps://www.chiliproject.org/issues/38?journal_id=1992011-01-10T12:53:08+01:00Holger Justchiliproject@meine-er.de
<ul></ul><p>I'm rather proficient with Debian and setting up stuff so I'm willing to help here. Not sure if I have what it takes to take the lead here though.</p> ChiliProject - Task #38: Infrastructure teamhttps://www.chiliproject.org/issues/38?journal_id=2052011-01-10T13:58:25+01:00Eric Davis
<ul></ul><p>Muntek, what are you? I know you have done a bunch of server administration yourself.</p> ChiliProject - Task #38: Infrastructure teamhttps://www.chiliproject.org/issues/38?journal_id=2102011-01-11T00:47:59+01:00Wieland Lindenthal
<ul></ul><p>Actually there are a bunch of people that could help setting up the infrastructure.</p>
<ul>
<li>Holger actually designed and implemented almost the whole server infrastructure of finnlabs including virtualization, backup, monitoring, rails stack, scm, network, ...</li>
<li>Michael Frister could more or less easily set up a CI server. He did this for finnlabs.</li>
<li>He could also setup a Radiant based marketing website as well. For finnlabs he scripted the whole setup.</li>
</ul>
<p>I definitely do not have the technical skills to for all theses upcoming tasks. Holger has.</p>
<p>There is a difference between helping and leading. Leading is something you have to want. The question is who wants to lead (apart from helping)?</p>

If no one volunteers by tonight (2011-01-12 Pacific time), I'll take the lead to get us started.</p> ChiliProject - Task #38: Infrastructure teamhttps://www.chiliproject.org/issues/38?journal_id=2372011-01-12T13:16:34+01:00Muntek Singhsikhnerd@gmail.com
<ul></ul><p>I'm also up for the job, I'm a sysadmin by day. I am provisioning a new VPS node and would be happy to setup anything/everything on a container or two. I'm fine with any *nix os, though it sounds like most of you are debian guys :)</p> ChiliProject - Task #38: Infrastructure teamhttps://www.chiliproject.org/issues/38?journal_id=2522011-01-12T13:54:24+01:00Eric Davis
