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.
