Yes, we have a chicken-and-egg problem: the sysadmin team is too weak, sometimes poorly organized, to the point that even offers for help might not get replies. But we can fix this: that’s the idea of that call for contribution. On this particular topic, half of the OverDrives currently have a home and are up and running, modulo occasional hiccups or downtime while waiting for spare parts and such. The other half may be off-line: monokuma (Chris), sergei and dmitri (Tobias). We need to check the status, preferably on guix-sysadmin (which is private) since that might involve discussing personal information. Help is welcome also at this very basic level! Information about available machines (apart from the x86 machines at the MDC) is available actually in several places (and of course, some might be stale): https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/maintenance.git/tree/hydra/machines.rec https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/maintenance.git/tree/hydra/berlin.scm#n633 https://foundation.guix.info/assets/ HTH!
