Meeting Agenda Item: Introduction : Vijay

[Vijayakumar Rajabathar]

Hi.

I am a new joinee in the Fedora Infrastructure group.

IRC : vijbat

Current skillset: 1. Unix/Linux sysadmin/SAN/NAS/ESX/Netbackup/bash scripting
    	          2. Basic familiarity with Oracle/MySQL/Nagios/Apache/Puppet/Cisco/F5

Looking to learn: 1. Python Scripting
    	           2. DevOps technologies
                           3. Very much interested in how Fedora manages security aspects
                           4. Understanding Fedora Infrastructure setup
                           5. Would like to troubleshoot issues at some point

Queries:

1. I havent uploaded my SSH public key yet. But at what point do we get access to any servers
   Understand its not immediate, but just interested to know
2. Where can I find infrastructure diagrams/documents about the current setup
3. I see we use the ircchat #fedora-meeting, but do we do any conference calls too?
4. As Fedora is mostly community driven (understand its supported by RedHat), how does critical infrastrucure run.
   Do we have dedicated sysadmins seperately to manage any sev1/sev2 faults.

And a lot more questions... But for now will hold on here..

Thanks for reading. Vijay

Once you are added to the fi-apprentice group, or any of the syadmin
groups later.

https://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/infra/docs/
has our SOPs and general docs about services.

We don't have any maps currently, but there is a ticket to create one.

We haven't, but we could at some point. Its been suggested before, just
finding a good time might be difficult.

Yeah, there's a few folks who are employed by Red Hat full time to work
on Fedora infrastructure, so we make sure things keep running along. 
But you don't need to work for Red Hat to be involved at all. :)

Thanks for the info.

"Once you are added to the fi-apprentice group, or any of the syadmin groups later. .."

- What are the steps to be followed to get added to the above groups. Guessing its starts with the apprentice group.

For the apprentice group, just ask on irc in #fedora-admin, someone can
get you added and point you to docs, etc.

For sysadmin groups, folks are added after they prove themselves as
apprentices (solve a bunch of tickets, show they will be around a while
and are patient, become known by the existing team, etc).
