Intro ---Hi
Hello All, My name is Arun from INDIA, I've been using fedora at home/office since version FC 3. I'm a C and Java programmer. I have a little experience with Perl. I've worked as a Data Center/Infrastructure Engineer. I've worked with RH 7.3, 8, 9(testing project); RHES/AS 3, 4; FC 3,4,5,6; VxWorks Linux (Motorola Hardware testing project). Now I'm with HP working as a UX/LX Engineer. I'm also preparing my thesis in Cluster computing to register my Ph.D I'm not sure where I can start start helping. Looking forward to Infra Structure team.

Hello all, I'd like to introduce myself to the list and I'd be very interested in helping out some. My name is John Anderson, and I am the network admin at a small biotech in Wisconsin. We're primarily a CentOS shop in the server room, with a few OpenBSD boxes, and Fedora on the workstations. I migrated our Nagios to Zenoss last year, and currently maintain our Zenoss monitoring. I see that could be a current project for you, and I'd be very interested in that. Other things I've done or are familiar with: * Very familiar with cluster suite, I've built quite a few HA clusters on it in the last year, mostly apache, mysql and tomcat * Installed spacewalk here, using that to manage our Centos updates * I manage our Zimbra mail server, pretty familiar with postfix and sendmail * I've done some xen, some esx * lots of mysql, a very small bit of oracle * I can script well in PHP, Python, some perl I've also been trying to do a little packaging as well. I'm currently mcgarnicle on freenode, I'm hoping to lurk in your meeting today. Anyhow thanks for listening and I'd love to give a hand somewhere.

No, I am not at all worried about that. I have unlimited bandwidth but the pipe is not that large. All I need to do for a public mirror is to copy things to a specific directory and assign the machine a public ip..rest is already done and its already serving WBUT locally . That should take not more that 10 mins.

Still a student but configuring and testing things for a few years. Recently, I got access to hardware resources and bandwidth, so thought about joining infrastructure. I have a question, I think this should be the appropriate list. What is the minimum bandwidth required to set up a fedora public mirror? I am working at an university and seriously thinking of setting up a mirror. I've been telling people that 100Mbit connection (not just from the server, but available from your bandwidth provider) is the minimum for new mirrors. There are a few long-established mirrors with slightly lower capabilities, but we've also added many with 1Gbit/sec or faster connections. You also need about 1TB of disk space to carry a full mirror. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/Mirroring for more details on the process.

In future if I can get a pipe that large, I shall try again. You can still have a public mirror in the university but not tie it up to the Fedora mirror list and circulate the details amoung local LUG's. That would be helpful to people who are in and around India.

A bit of an intro
My name is Brandon Jasper and I'm a CTN2(SS) (Crypto Tech Networking, submarine qualified) in the US Navy. I've been a Red Hat user for a long time and in fact it was the first Linux distro I used. I saw the infrastructure team and since I'm not heavy on programming it fits with what I can do to contribute to the project. I've been a sysadmin on an SSN (nuclear fast attack submarine) and in a detachment working on underwater robotics. I'm currently the assistant information assurance manager for the pacific SSBN (strategic missile submarines) fleet. I've got a number of cast off servers sitting around my office and though I can't make any firm commitments I am going to try to drop the paperwork to get one. If I can get one I'll set it up to help out with the project, if not I'll still be glad to help where I can. -Brandon ___ Fedora-infrastructure-list mailing list Fedora-infrastructure-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-infrastructure-list

I have been around *nix for about 10 years and have worked on Solaris/AIX/various Linux flavors in that time (network admin type stuff), also at one time fancied myself a competent CNE (Netware) have also been a network admin for some sizable MS networks (ugh). I have also done some Cisco router/switch installs/config. I enjoy the security aspect of network administration, SSL/Firewalls/PGP/data encryption. I don't have any programming experience per se, I have just hacked stuff to do what I needed it to when the occasion arose. So, that all being said point me in a direction and if I can help I will be more than happy to. Welcome Jason, is there anything on the schedules page that interests you?
