Sysadmin Hackfest Proposal – SCALE

Calling all Volunteers –

It’s still a ways away, but SCALE is happening this February and I’d like to propose a Sysadmin Hackfest! Currently both Jeff and I plan to be there (we’ll also be doing the GNOME booth), and we’d love to see anyone else there. We’ve got some pending tickets that are perfect for a weekend hackfest, such as an openvpn setup, LDAP improvements, etc. The more people we can round up the more we can get done!

If you’re in the area, or plan on attending SCALE, please let us know if you’d be willing to contribute some time to a hackfest. Even if you’re not familiar with the above technologies, or have root on the servers, I guarantee we can find something for you to do. We can knock out a lot of bugzilla tickets in one weekend. It’ll be record-breaking! (Can you tell I’m excited about a hackfest!?)

Please let me know on or off-list if you’d be available to show up and help out. We’ll need a rough head count to present to the board to make it an “official” hackfest, so please don’t be shy.

I’d like to be able to present a tentative head count at the end of the week, so start thinking about your plans! For me, it’s the draw of sunny California in Feb (instead of three feet of snow in Salt Lake City!)
Thanks!

Christer
