Hi List,

I am forwarding this for people who desire to come to the FOSDEM this
year and who may be interested by sharing idea with other distro.

Infrastructure at FOSDEM 2010

Hello List!

Seeing that we have a mini-distro conf this year, I became interested
into how other distributions manage their infrastructure - the servers
they have, the mails they get, the bugs which are reported, how things
are kept running and so on.

So my idea was to do something like a round table where people from
different distributions can talk, ask and learn about how others are
doing this. I had in mind to give a short overview of which
infrastructure a distribution can have and then maybe tell something
about how CentOS handles that. Then people from other distributions
could chime in on how to do that better (or be stricken with awe) and
then a disucussion arises. Everybody learns something from that: Goal
reached. Added Bonus: People from different distributions get to learn
their counterparts from other distributions.

So I would like to invite infrastructure people from other
distributions to this round table, fearing that I'll be the only one
talking there. Could the people who read this list ask their infra
people if there is an interest to attend this round table? If infra
people from your distribution are attending FOSDEM, that is.

Wouter or Pascal - for the Website:

Seeing that all distributions face the problem of maintaining their
infrastructure (server landscape, keeping the services running,
managing downtimes), this round table is an open discussion forum for
infrastructure maintainers from all distributions and maybe other
large projects which are running their own infrastructure.

After a short overview about the infrastructure issues a linux
distribution can have, these issues can be discussed between the
infrastructure maintainers of different distributions and other
interested parties. Besides learning about how other people handle
infrastructure issues, this round table should also be a means of
getting to know the people behind the infrastructure of other
distributions.

All infrastructure personnel attending FOSDEM is invited to join us in
this round table.
