Dear Debian Developers, I'm pleased to announce the appointment of Pierre-Elliott Bécue to the Debian Systems Administration (DSA) team. Welcome, Pierre-Elliott! Martin Zobel-Helas has retired from DSA, I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Martin for his many years of contributions to the DSA team. This delegation will now be able to spend some Debian money without requiring DPL pre-approval, see the budget section below for more details. Delegation ========== I appoint the following as members of the Debian Systems Administration Team (DSA): - Aurélien Jarno (aurel32) - Julien Cristau (jcristau) - Luca Filipozzi (lfilipoz) - Paul Wise (pabs) - Tollef Fog Heen (tfheen) - Peter Palfrader (weasel) - Héctor Orón Martínez (zumbi) - Adam D. Barratt (adsb) - Pierre-Elliott Bécue (peb) This delegation is not time-limited. Task Description ================ Debian System Administrator team members handle the core infrastructure of the project. They are responsible for tasks including: * Maintaining the central user (LDAP) database listing all the Debian developers. This includes: * Account creation and deletion based on requests from the Debian Account Managers * Correlation of GPG keys to the according accounts based on requests from the Debian Keyring Maintainers * Setting up and administering most of Debian-owned machines, ensuring that they are kept secure, operational and running * Coordinating with local admins of the machines regarding network connectivity and (if needed) asking for remote hands * Granting required rights to other developers who need them to maintain a particular service * Handle standard services like the debian.org email alias that each developer has or keeping DNS up to date * Maintaining the Debian Machine Usage Policies (DMUP), within the following limits: * The DMUP cannot directly cause the expulsion of a developer from the project; it can however propose the developer for expulsion to DAM, on the basis of DMUP violation * Changes to the DMUP shall be announced to the debian-devel-announce mailing list at least 2 months in advance with respect to when they are supposed to become effective Budget ====== This section aims to streamline, and effectively replaces a previously set up expense authorization for DSA: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2013/10/msg00001.html This delegation may now make some purchases without additional pre-approval by the DPL. This includes expenditures for things like shipping costs, cables and replacement hardware (such as memory, disks, fans, etc), but it could be anything that DSA may also need in a timely manner. DSA may make up to 10 of these type of expenses a year up to the value of €1000 for each expense. For additional or other expenses, the usual DPL reimbursement processes apply: https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DPL/Reimbursement Once DSA has agreed to issue an expense and claim it back, they can refer to this mail as the pre-approval reference to the trusted organisation who will handle the reimbursement. The DPL and Treasurer team must still be CC'd in on the request.
