http://www.gnome.org – Behind the scenes: Andrea Veri, the new GNOME part-time System Administrator. Some days ago Andrea Veri was  chosen by the GNOME Foundation to support and maintain GNOME's IT infrastructure. His hiring comes at the end of a journey, during which Andrea has shown his technical abilities and passion for GNOME, and could be considered a sort of acknowledgement and thanksfor all the work he's done so far. The love between Andrea and Free Software started when he was a teenager and a Fedora user. In 2005, he discovered Ubuntu and got involved with its community very quickly. Andrea joine (Software)

That was a Perl script which failed because of a missing module. It didn't print any error message. Instead it just used 100% and that took Andrea+Owen a long time to figure out (script has not changed since 2002 or so :).

I've rewritten the script in Python.

Back up: * bugzilla.gnome.org * extensions.gnome.org * blogs.gnome.org

I haven't looked into the other databases that were running on the affected machine (drawable).

To be clear: - I just changed some easy settings - Andrea Veri got various people involved, etc - Stephen Smoogen from Fedora sysadmin team assisted - Owen Taylor assisted in the 10min he had between flights

Everything should be back to normality.

The GNOME Foundation is hiring a system administrator. Thanks to all of you who have made this possible! System Administrator Job Description

Questa calda estate volge al termine, e mentre tanti di noi riprendono possesso delle loro workstation casalinghe, abbiamo voluto rivolgere qualche domanda a Andrea “Bash” Scarpino, uno degli sviluppatori italiani della distribuzione Arch Linux, molto popolare tra coloro che hanno un po’ più di dimestichezza con le dinamiche del pinguino.

Everything's back at full capacity since a few hours.

Have an awesome day everyone!
