How to request a shell account on people.sugarlabs.org

Fill up the following template and send it by email to <sysadmin AT sugarlabs DOT org>:

<intended purpose of account> (cc your sponsors, if any)

Username: <[a-z]+>
First: <your first name(s)>
Last: <your last name(s)>
Email: <desired forwarding email destination for USERNAME@sugarlabs.org>

<public ssh key(s), one per line. don't attach, paste with word-wrapping disabled>

Preferably sign your request with a trusted GPG key which is available from public keyservers.

Within 48 hours, you should receive a welcome email with further instructions. If you don't see anything, all the sysadmins may be asleep or dead. Try pinging.

Local email management

Instead of forwarding email to another account, you could use IMAP or our webmail. Few users currently use the fully-hosted email account. Ask bernie for more details.

IRC Proxies

You can run your favorite IRC client or proxy on your account. We also offer a system-wide IRC Proxy.

Sysadmin

The administrative side of this procedure is at Sysadmin/Add_shell_account.
