Dear community, Most of you are probably aware that I was the one wearing the BOFH cap and doing the sysadmin work on the project's server (emu). I am using a past tense here because I am not anymore; I resigned.
Like iakin, dolphin and others who did that tedious task before, I feel like it is time for me to move on. It has been 5 years since I started cutting my teeth on dodo (at the time 0.7's development was starting)... Since then a lot happened, some of which I am proud and some of which I am not. We switched from a hosted vhost to a dedicated machine, we upgraded the hardware several times, we even moved the server into another datacenter! Overall I am satisfied with the current architecture and setup. It has a fairly low maintenance cost and is quite reliable. Of course we had outages, but if you look to the global picture, not that much. While I could go in large here about the reasons pushing me to make the move, I won't. Those things belong to my flog, if anywhere. Most of you know that I am firmly opposed to most of the decisions taken by the project lately and disagree with the current directions... Even though I still agree with the statement of purpose of the project. To whom will take over: I leave a running system in your hands, we had a recent security-related problem, but I did ensure it has been contained. Most documentation is lying in /root/notes. Good luck and take good care of Emu; That animal just needs little love and care to survive :p NextGen$ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
