Committee members who want to change e-mail aliases can contact anyone in the Sysadmins group. They will go edit <tt>/etc/aliases</tt> on <tt>mail.wlug.org.nz</tt>. This mostly applies to [WLUG] officers and administrative roles, not people with shell accounts.
-There is no reason for people to leave the WlugSysadmins group after they have left the club
or left the country. Through the magic of the Internet they are still able to help out, and their help is appreciated. Also hopefully it will give them incentive to keep paying their dues (if they're reminded!).

-!! Ideas that are out there
+!! New Admins Wanted!
-* Formalize this group and have
a process for new admins
to join,
and an exit strategy if
people don’t want to be
involved anymore
. (Please turn in your swipe card!)
-* Install a ticket system or setup a sysadmins mailing list, pick your poison
.
+As announced at
a recent [meeting|MeetingTopics.2009-05-25], we would like
to revitalize administration
and development of the server and various software projects
people involved with WLUG have started
. Below you'll find some more information about ideas and goals we will be working toward
.
-!! History of
the WlugSysadmins
+If you would like to become an admin, first you'll need an account on hoiho, so contact ChrisOhalloran about that. After that either let Chris or JohnBillings know, via email why you would like to be an admin, what skills and experience you have, then we will take it to
the committee and approve your request and get whatever admin access you need sorted.
-Perry has always been
the UberAdmin
. Generally building
of the system happened at DaHoose
. Craig set up
the mail
, Daniel handled [LDAP]
, John
, Perry
and Matt
, the wiki
(and Matt, Planet WLUG
). John wrote
the user admin scripts
and WlugLibrary
. Jamie was
our hardware/networking point guy
. As of Feb 2009
, Daniel did the most recent physical maintenance since he lived
in Auckland
, but there are countless
people who have helped out with the machine/s over time
, and no discussion would be complete without
a special thank you
to Sahil Gupta and his amazing falling-
on-Ctrl-Alt-Del keyboard.
+!! Being an Admin
+
+Need something like an AUP for admins. Must agree to respect privacy of others. Can be removed at discretion of
the Committee
. Please let us know if your finished, so we can remove your access.
+
+!! Going Forward
+
+(turn this into some sort
of mission statement)
+
+The WLUG wiki, and other services have become important resources. This is really cool. They should be treated as production systems, and
the admins take care in the maintenance of this
system. We should not forget
the point though
, the people who initiated this project were engaged in self directed learning. A LUG has a number of purposes
, and one of them is education. New people should be encouraged to get involved, as users, or as admins of this system if they have some skills
, and an idea how to contribute.
+
+!! Setting Goals
+
+WlugSysadmins
, need to be on board and support
the WlugCommittee, who of course serve the WlugCommunity. Our new focus is making Software Freedom Day our signature event,
(not like installfests
and stuff in the past
) and to continue to provide a good educational resource to
the local community with our presentations,
and to a larger audience via the WlugWiki
. The work we do on
our infrastructure should support this effort
.
+
+Some ideas:
+
+* Formalize this group and have a process for new admins to join
, basically a screening process.
+* An exit strategy if people don’t want to be involved anymore. (Please let us know where you left off, links to docs, remove access, etc...)
+* Install a ticket system
+* Monthly meetings
in #WLUG to get things done
+* create a dev site/source repo for the wiki
, so
people can work on improvements (please pick git)
+* An elected SysAdmin role for WLUG
, a member of the committee who's role is
to coordinate work
on the WLUG infrastructure
