Regular coverage

We are currently experimenting with days off for Jamie. Currently, wednesday is designated community support day - so please pitch in on Wednesdays.

Special Coverage

No special coverage days set

What does covering a day mean?

Coverage means:

• being present on irc.indymedia.org in the #mayfirst channel to discuss issues that come up
• monitoring the support queue (four hour response time during regular working hours, minimally checking around 10 am, 2 pm and 6 pm)
• evaluating tickets and responding to tickets - see the support-response-tips page.
  • If you know the answer or part of the answer, respond to the ticket
  • Non-urgent and you don't know the answer: say we are short staffed - can this wait until tuesday?
  • Urgent and you don't know the answer: contact other people helping out (dkg has root on all machines or call Alfredo who also has root)

You can monitor the support queue in several ways:

• Bookmark the timeline link. This page will show all tickets in chronological order
• Subscribe to the RSS feed of the page (see the RSS link at the bottom of the page)
• Subscribe to the ​Support Broadcast mailman list - you will get an email everytime a ticket is posted or commented on
