Well, can't say I didn't see it coming. :)I'd be happy (and honored) to do some fixes on my own. What I can't do is making any (time) committments, though. I might be putting several hours of work into Sugar today and be gone for several months tomorrow.
System administration is a cursed job. People only see what's going wrong, not what you need to do to keep it running. Been there, done that, even got a t-shirt. :) But it is a sure way of getting to learn the depths of a computer system. :)...and a good introduction to the infrastructure team.And let's face it, the various Sugar Labs services are starting to get on the order or 1000's of hits per day. That doesn't look bad on a resume.
My main interest in Sugar currently is building a computer system that's usable for "regular" people, especially older ones. That means getting it to run, improving it (esp. data store / "Journal"), writing activities. But since all that depends on having a working infrastructure, I might help out there, too. After all, my original business idea was about providing computer systems and all their dependencies as "infrastructure", so can't claim I don't care about it. But my time is limited, so I need to choose carefully where it's spent best.
