Introduction
by TJ Davis
Hi All,
I have been watching this email list for awhile and decided to finally
introduce myself. I am TJ Davis from West Texas but I currently live
in Belize. I am an independent software consultant for several
universities. I mostly do database consulting on MSSQL but have about
10 years of experience with LAMP and Linux administration. I have not
managed enterprise level systems but have managed 6 Linux servers
doing various tasks for a university for 10 years. I also have a good
amount of experience with OpenVPN as well as
SpamAssassin/Amavis/Maia/Clamv. I will start reading over tickets
soon and try to pick some once I have been accepted. But, in the mean
time, if anyone knows where I might fit in best give me a shout.
I will be on #fedora-admin as tjdavisbz as much as possible.

archives on secondary1
by Matt Domsch
quick sanity check. archives.fp.o is on secondary1.fp.o, right?
There are 2 separate rsyncd.conf files in puppet, one for archives,
one for secondary. Given they land at the same place on the same
machine, only the one for secondary is actually in effect. If they're
going to be on the same machine, we need to merge them.
yes?
Thanks,
Matt

staging environment discussion
by Mike McGrath
So as many of you have seen in the commits lists, the staging environment
is coming along and getting built. I've hit a policy issue and so I
thought instead of just doing this in a black hole. I'd discuss it.
The way I see it there are two ways to do staging environments. For those
of you unfamiliar with staging the general idea is to have an environment
as close to production as feasible.
1) use identical configs with only minor changes and use /etc/hosts to
fake things to point where you need them. Not always possible but
generally good where you can do it.
2) use different configs in production and staging. The differences being
able to redirect things, using different usernames, passwords, hostnames,
etc.
Each has pros and cons. Right now I'd like to do 1) but I don't think its
possible. 2) is going to require a lot of focus. For example... we won't
be able to just git merge from staging to production as we could with 1).
Security's only an issue in that we don't want people making changes to
production data from staging and vise versa. The same people will have
the same access to both of these environments without exception.
I'm going to continue to think about this. I've had staging environments
in the past. Both went with option 2). But still. I'd like to hold this
discussion so discuss.

Hi All,
Now that i am in the sysadmin group. I have taken a thorough look at
all the other FIGS which are listed.
I have also taken a look at the kind of work the people in the FIGS do
and i would like to get involved with the cvs group.
I have a good amount of technical experience with cvs and svn, so that
should not be a barrier.
Can Mike, Bill or Dennis, sponsor me to this group please?
Thanks a lot.

a quick self-introduction
by Bret McMillan
Hey folks,
I've been lurking in the infrastructure area for awhile, but just
recently joined the list. jonrob & mmcgrath have been kind enough to
work w/ me on blog stuff for news.fp.org, etc. I've been an RH employee
for a number of years, mostly in RHN engineering, but now recently in IT
working on collaborative applications. I'd classify myself as a
marginal SA, but always willing to learn and help out :)
Current interests:
* blogs (wordpress-mu)
* wikis
* mobile devices
* CDN's
* opening RH's IT tooling & methods to be more open and in alignment w/
what the community is doing
cheers,

Paul VanGundy - Introduction
by Paul VanGundy
Hello List! :)
My name is Paul VanGundy and this is my introduction to the list. No worries
as I will make this short and sweet and if there are questions or people
want to know more about me they can email me or the list.
I have eight years experience in Linux systems administration in many
different parallels (government, education, enterprise) with which I am
currently serving in enterprise. Nutshelling, I have worked with many
different flavors of Linux but mainly Red Hat, CentOS and Fedora in the
enterprise market. I have done everything from managing large email farms
running on Red Hat (my stints at WebEx and Cisco), running CentOS (both
physical and virtual) in development environments (WebEx, Cisco, Bradford
Networks) to helping school districts reach there educational potentional by
using open source projects such as LTSP (of which I have written a pdf doc
that is used world over but a little outdated... see wiki.ltsp.org). I have
many other skills, abilities and experience that I will not list as I want
to keep this short and sweet.
I do welcome questions and am very eager to help the Fedora Project and
utilize my skills to give back to those that have given to me. I look
forward to working with all of you!
Cheers!!
