Hi list,

I'm the new guy around and I would like to get involved with the infrastructure. While I'm already a active ambassador for over 2 years, I only just started packaging some RPMs and only just subscribed to the infrastructure list.

In $DAYJOB-life I'm a (RHEL) Linux Systems Engineer (aka sysadmin) at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETHZ). There I administer the RHN satellite and proxies and the RHEL servers where those services are running on. Additionally I give 2nd/3rd level support on RHEL servers and clients to our (internal) clients, for which we are running the satellite. In all of ETHZ, there's >1000 RHEL running.

I'd be interested to help the infrastructure team in terms of OS-administration and maybe security. I'm not experienced with large infrastructure systems as I only run some non-critical servers and as for security, I only know some random things yet but I'm eager to learn more (will also go into that direction for the $DAYJOB). Oh, and I'm a RHCE, targeting RHCA.

I'm located in Zurich, Switzerland, Central Europe (UTC+1/UTC+2) and the time I have available to help out is limited and really irregular.

Someone please point me to the right people or tasks or whatever. I'll read the wiki pages once I'll have time (I'm sitting at LinuxTag/FUDCon EMEA right now) and try to get to some meeting once in a while. And once I'm back home, I'll join the IRC channel, too.

Thanks,
red
