Hi all, The reason I had did roll call was to see if there was any areas that we could improve. We have grown as a distribution over the years and holes in our organisation of certain areas are beginning to show. So here is my summary of our current status. Feel free to point out things I missed. Packaging: This is the lifeblood of Arch, and we do quite well at keeping everything up-to-date (although a few packages can have updates waiting for a long time). One thing the roll call does show is there are quite a few major packaging areas that are covered by a single person (desktops, major programming languages, etc). We should fix these single points of failure by building a small team around these major groups (lead by the current packager). This would be a way to bring on junior packagers (who can initially prepare and commit updates to SVN, but not build them). Support: We have good groups of people in charge of moderating the forums, IRC and the wiki. These are largely self managing and take on new members as needed. We also have a singular bug triage person. Security: The new security team is doing a great job at monitoring security issues. There are three main people there - they will need to comment on whether they need more man power there. It would also be great to give some of them packaging rights so they do not need to chase the devs/TUs to build fixed packages. This group is also looking at reproducible builds. Pacman: Currently, we have two main developers, with a bunch of occasional submitters. pacman-5.0 is about to be released with hooks! More man power would be good - we have several major features planned and lots of tiny ones. Release Iso: A new one gets created every month, so things seem to be working... I had a quick look at the mailing list at it is fairly quiet. I'm not sure if this is because the iso is fairly stable at this stage, or that it needs some focus. AUR: New AUR is up and running. Again, seems to be progressing well and I have not hear complaints about lack of manpower... Infrastructure: This seems an area that needs improved. We have one person organising payment for servers, one person doing the sysadmin, various people in charge of updating the forum, wiki, planet, bug tracker(?), AUR, projects,... It looks like there has been no commits to our website front- and back-end in six months. Overall, our infrastructure is an area that needs attention - our servers have had some consolidation partially completed and more planning done, but this has progressed nowhere. We also have space issues due to this. Devtools/dbscripts: These seem to be updated as needed. We still do not have repository signing... The autobuild tool for big rebuilds is awesome - it will be useful in the future to make this more official and have the infrastructure hosted on our servers. Long email! I think the one glaring area where we need to be more organised is our infrastructure. I will bring together the people currently involved with this area in the next few days so we can get this fixed. Allan
