hello,

as you may have noticed, there is a shortage of spare time for the
current toolserver admins, which means it takes a long time for
requests to get done.  i would like to add an additional admin (or
several) to help the situation.

if you're interested, please drop me a mail.  ideally, candidates
will:

 + have been a member of a Wikimedia project for a long time, with
   some level of additional access (e.g. checkuser, OTRS, ...)

 + have an advanced knowledge of Unix (at least several years
   experience)

 + have experience with Linux or Solaris system administration in a
   production environment (another Unix would be okay if you're
   willing to learn something new)

 + have experience with MySQL database administration

 + be available on the toolserver IRC channel to help users (this
   isn't a requirement, but it would be helpful)

 + experience with these products/technologies would be an advantage:
   Apache; JIRA; PostgreSQL; Sun Web Server; Sun Directory Server / LDAP;
   GlassFish; Kerberos; StorageTek SAM-QFS; Veritas.

the job of a toolserver admin is to:

 + process user requests in the TS and SUPPORT projects in JIRA
 + create new user accounts
 + make sure the toolserver systems are working acceptably (for
   example, resolving performance problems with the system or broken
   tools)
 + participate in discussions about the future of the toolserver (for
   example, what hardware to buy, what additional services to offer,
   etc.)

please, no CVs (but a short description of your background/experience
is fine).  anyone who is accepted will be required to provide the
Wikimedia office with proof of their real-life identity; please don't
apply if you're not comfortable with that.

as this is a volunteer position, the amount of time you put into it
is entirely up to you; but at a minimum, you should be willing to
spend at least a couple of hours each week on the toolserver.

        - river.
