[Toolserver-l] toolserver admins wanted

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hi, we're now (again) looking for new admins. i originally posted this about a year ago, but we ended up not being able to add new admins then, so nothing happened. if you applied then, please feel free to re-apply. we are looking for someone with experience using the following in a production environment: + General Unix to an expert level (say, 7-10 years experience at least) + Solaris + general administration + patch management + live upgrade + ZFS + jumpstart + MySQL + Debian Linux people without this experience may be considered, if you're willing to put in the effort to get up to speed quickly. knowledge of the following would be helpful: + C and/or C++ programming language + PHP + Veritas + Sun Java System Web Server + Zeus Web Server + Apache + LDAP (Sun DSEE) some tasks the new admin might start with: + designing and implementing a monitoring system to provide current and historical statistics about the cluster, warning about problems, etc. + implementing a network install (jumpstart) framework to enable (re)installation of hosts easily, with proper post-install setup. it would be particularly nice to have another 'on-call' admin besides myself, for when there are urgent problems with the cluster and no one is around. you should either be a well-known and trusted member of the community, or else have some kind of professional background (either academic or commercial). we might require references for the latter, depending on the situation. you will be required to provide the Wikimedia office with proof of your identity. if you're interested, please mail me privately (not the list), including some information about yourself and details of your relevant background/experience, and an estimate of how much time you might be able to donate. you may include a CV if you wish. - river.
