!! New Admins Wanted!
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.
-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.

!! 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 you're finished,
so we can remove your access.

-
-(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.
+
+That being said, new admins should always look at how they can build on past work, rather then initiating some new project, working on it for a while, getting bored with it, and sodding off. If you're not going to take the time to learn how the system was engineered in the first place and what its intent was, then we really can't use your contribution. There is still room for new development projects, but not if a system we have in place already just needs to be improved.
!! 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.
