Infrastructure Team/Getting Involved
From Sugar Labs
Help wanted
Contact Bernie Innocenti if you can offer hardware, hosting or help setting up new services and maintaining existing ones.
Admins are generally required to send a GPG signed copy of USENIX's SAGE System Administrators' Code of Ethics before taking service.
The sysadmins coordinate mostly through #sugar and #sugar-meeting on Freenode, and the Systems mailing-list. We also have weekly meetings.
See Infrastructure Team/TODO for a list of tasks we need to get done.
Volunteer responsibly!
Contributors of free software projects are not generally expected a minimum level of performance. However, maintaining infrastructure is a job of high responsibility. The fact that you're not being paid does not mean that it's OK to abandon your post without notice!
If you choose to maintain or co-maintain a piece of the Sugar Labs infrastructure, you agree to:
- Assume full personal responsibility for the performance and security of your service
- Take reasonable steps to avoid the risk of data loss and downtime
- Keep the corresponding Service or Machine documentation page up to date
- Try to respond quickly to problems reported by users
- When you no longer have time, step down responsibly: find a new maintainer and help them take over your duties smoothly
- If that is not possible, clearly announce that the service is being discontinued and help cleanup all resources used by it.
