May First/People Link Support Team
May First/People Link's support team responds to support requests and maintains the May First/People Link infrastructure.
This page provides an overview and easy access to support team members.
For general overview of our technology, please see the technology infrastructure page.
Communications
Email communication happens over the support-team list. Real time communications happens via IRC (irc.indymedia.org) in the #mayfirst channel.
Responding to support requests
Privileged Access
The following users have root on all machines and have full access to MFPL's shared password file: jamie, alfredo, dkg, mallory, josue, gdl, joseph, nat, ross
All users with root access are expected to operate within these guidelines for root privileges.
MFPL support team shares passwords using keyringer.
Server alerts
All servers are monitored via nagios, which sends email directly to jamie's cell phone and to the server-sms-alerts list.
Skill Shares
There are several areas of MFPL architecture that are hard to grasp without an explanation. Perhaps we should schedule IRC skill shares around:
- Our subversion repository of servers and general big picture/how to figure out which server is where and is used for what
- Using the Monkeysphere with ssh
- Virtualization - and the three different types of virtualization we use at MFPL
