Help wanted

Contact us if you would like to help maintaining existing services or setting up new ones.

Sugar Labs sysadmins are generally required to send a GPG signed copy of USENIX's SAGE System Administrators' Code of Ethics before taking service.

We coordinate mostly through #sugar-systems on Matrix, and the Systems mailing-list. Historically, we also have had occasional team meetings, but haven't in recent years. Those would be announced in advance on the list. Anyone on the Matrix channel is welcome to propose a meeting.

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.

Remember, "with great power comes great responsibility!" -- Peter Parker
