I havnt really properly introduced myself. My name is Alexander Rydekull, can be seen at IRC as Rydekull. I am computer professional from Sweden with a big interest in Open Source. Professionally I work as a consultant for an IBM Premier Business Partner and also a Red Hat Partner(too mention a few partnerships) named EnjoyIT. I have been using Linux since 2001 and working with it in some form since 2004. I am a sysadmin by heart and I do not do programming, I script. I have experience from all kinds of different infrastructures, both small 1-box shops to large installations of 1000+ servers. I have offered to help out with the infrastructural parts of oVirt since like I mentioned before, I dont code, but I want to contribute to Open Source projects I believe in. oVirt certainly is one of those projects. I talked to quaid and he asked me to mail the list and introduce myself, so here I am. -- /Alexander Rydekull

First of all welcome. I think quaid asked the same thing, but what would interest you? Some things we('re going to) work with: * Gerrit * Jenkins * Mediawiki * Foreman * Puppet * Git * (... your project?) Personally I think it's best to just join discussions both on the mailing list and meetings and pick a project to dive into.

Howdy! And welcome. I was happy to see that you are interested in learning new tech. One of the great things about being a sysadmin contributor to a FOSS project is playing with technologies that you don't get to use in your regular $dayjob work. Rydekull is interested in learning about Gerrit. I think this is great, because our Gerrit knowledge across this team is scant - it's mainly Itamar who maintains it. Itamar - what do you think about doing some knowledge transfer about Gerrit to the rest of the Infra team? We could have a special meeting/sprint on IRC to teach the basics, show how our setup is run (which helps us get it better documented), talk about future plans, and so forth. As Alexander is new, it would be good to figure out non-root things that can be done. Such as: * Improve "as-is" documentation. * Write up standard procedures (SOP) for dealing with Gerrit. * Review the scripts, backup procedures, how Jenkins interacts, etc., and suggest or build improvements. * Work on the Puppet manifest for the future Gerrit host. * Etc.

I would certainly be interested in such a session(s).

Rydekull is interested in learning about Gerrit. I think this is great, because our Gerrit knowledge across this team is scant - it's mainly Itamar who maintains it.

* Improve "as-is" documentation. * Write up standard procedures (SOP) for dealing with Gerrit.
I hope to get to this in a few weeks, a bit overloaded right now. gladly, UI is available for most tasks now (other than removing duplicate users...)
* Review the scripts, backup procedures, how Jenkins interacts, etc., and suggest or build improvements.
this would be good. but actually i think you know more about this than i do? other than the backup/security audit by you, i try to once a month also take a snapshot backup and do yum update. also from time to time, running git-exproll to improve performance of the server.
* Work on the Puppet manifest for the future Gerrit host.
I think i provided the steps i did for installing it, i can give them again (i.e., i think we already wikified that part?)
* Etc.
How does that all sound to folks?

I do have an interesting exercise not requiring any permissions: write a script which will: 1. find all patches with no activity for over a week without any reviewer (other than patch owner or jenkins which don't count) and email owner to remind + a report to the engine-devel mailing list. 2. email owner of any patch without any activity on it for more than 45 days + a report to the engine-devel mailing list. later, schedule this to run on a weekly basis.
