Fedora Legacy

[Wilson Andrew]

Hi, All.

It is with some sadness I have noted that the fedora legacy project has significantly downscaled it's scope.

Not least because it leaves me a job to do with my fedora servers (many of which are FC3)! That got me thinking... should I be lamenting lack of community interest in the project, and moving on; or should I be trying to help.

First of all, qualifications: Experienced linux sysadmin, from way back (well RH6 ish), and a good background in managing RedHat / Fedora servers and (some) workstations.

Now snags: Limited (in the most limited sense of the word!) programming skills. Bash, perl, php, some c and that's about it.

I do however have a few hours a week to contribute, and therefore propose that I may be suitable as your mirror coordinator [seems a documentation / support role to me, suitable for a mere sysadmin ;-)], and can also act as a tester / qa tester. I have a reasonable scope of hardware to run or emulate a range of OSs.

Let me know if I can be of use.

Thanks

At this point.. I think moving on is the status. The Fedora Legacy
project pretty much closed doors, rolled up the sidewalk, and drove
out of town in December 2006.

Well, you probably could have helped five months ago.
