[PROPOSAL] Better organization of the devel team
by Johannes Winkelmann 15 Aug '06

15 Aug '06

Hi there, At the last crux IRC meeting we discussed the distribution of resposibilities, and I'd like to pick up that idea a even go a bit futher and suggest a reorganization of our team, to better assign and distribute responsibilities. Rational -------- Ever since we've taken over the whole project from Per, there are a number of jobs which aren't clearly assigned, and no one really feels responsible for. Because of that, some jobs are neglected, or not done right, since no one feels responsible to do them. One typical problem was the server outage of crux.nu recently. Another problem I personally face it the lack of focus, since I'm involved in several jobs (many of which I'm just doing because no one else does...); introducing these teams would hopefully allow everyone to focus on their primary duties, and therefore allow us to make our jobs better, and most important, make it more fun: often when posting ideas to crux-devel, the feedback was rather limited (e.g. Simone's setup, Matt's ISO changes); this is probably because the majority of the readers doesn't really care, which is perfectly fine, but frustrating for those putting the work into something. With the team hierarchy, such posts could be discussed in the 'core' group only, meaning that there's real feedback, and giving back the motivation to those doing the work. Idea ---- Introduce team for 'ports', 'infrastructure' (website, mailing lists, crux.nu, all the cronjobs) and 'core development' (utilitites, setup, releases), with a leader each (this means that if there's a problem, there's a defined person to talk to) and clearly assigned tasks and responsibilities. These teams could also recruit independently, so we can fetch someone into the infrastructure team even if he can't create ports, as long as he's fit for the job. Procedure --------- If this proposal is accepted, I'd suggest to define the responsibilities of the teams, and look for team leaders. Problems -------- Finding leaders could be one, as well as finding enough people for the infrastructure team, although I'd hope that the more focused recruiting should help there. As always with such proposals, every crux developer can vote, so I'd appreciate hearing from you :-). Best regards, Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@smts.ch Zurich, Switzerland http://jw.smts.ch

Plannin the crux.nu server update
by Simone Rota 15 Aug '06

15 Aug '06

Hi everybody, It would be a good thing(TM) to update the current setup at crux.nu during next days; I briefly discussed with Johannes a possible plan to minimize downtime and avoid problems with the updates: 1. Suspend the current services (mail/web/ports/svn, etc). for mainteinance. 2, Update to CRUX 2.2 <-- I can handle this step. 3. Re-activate the services and verify everything's ok with the new setup. Since said services have been configured by different people, I think that we should coordinate the efforts required for step 3. I'm asking for availability to everyone that has been involved with configuration/mainteinance of postfix, mailman, apache, etc so we can choose a date to carry on the upgrade. (Note that your presence is strictly needed only during step 3) If I remember well a "neutral" hour for irc meetings was around 20:00 CEST, please pick a preferred date (*=mine) for the step 3 procedure: - Mon, Aug 14 * - Tue, Aug 15 - Wed, Aug 16 - Thu, Aug 17 Regards, Simone -- Simone Rota Bergamo, Italy - http://www.varlock.com

FUKT domain
by Per Liden 15 Aug '06

15 Aug '06

Hey guys, As you might know, the FUKT domain changes its name some time ago from to fukt.bth.se to fukt.bsnet.se. The old name has been working until now. I just wanted to let you guys know that the old name is no longer working. For example, I noticed that the download page still lists the old FUKT domain, and I assume all mirrors sites still use the old name, etc. Cheers! /Per

public-wiki
by Falk Hamann 15 Aug '06

15 Aug '06

Hi@all My name is Falk Hamann. I'm relativly new in the world of crux. But I have 8 years of linux experience. In our company CRUX is used for years and installed on nearly all server. My Employer and I came to the conclusion: it's time to give something back to the projekt. I'm able to spend some work und free time to help CRUX to be strong and survive. I read the CRUX-Mailinglist the last 3 weeks and search at the wikipages for the right job. I my opinion the public-wiki is an excellent starting point. I installed and maintain 2 pmwikis in our intranet. Johannes recommend me to write a short introduction to the devel-list. I hope this is enough. But feel free, and ask me. Regards Falk
