Hi,
As you have probably noticed, my involvement in DevOps tasks has dwindled in recent months. I have given away a few tasks to others already, but since I hardly use my root access any more, I think it is finally time to officially open up the spot and let someone else take over.
Back when we started the DevOps team nearly 5 years ago (good god, time flies), Allan asked me if I wanted to lead the "infrastructure team" (old name). I am glad that I have never needed to use the team leader hat since we could discuss pretty much every problem and reach an agreement. Given that things have worked so well in the past, I'm inclined to simply discontinue the (unused) team leader hat. Considering how little, well, actually not at all, I have used the hat, most people are probably not even aware of it, so this feel like the most logical choice. I think having a core team of active people that discuss the issues and then come to an agreement has worked well in the past and it is something worth keeping.
I'm still amazed by what you guys accomplished over the last year and I hope that making space and letting others join will only allow the team to be even more awesome!
All that said, please disable my root access and remove me from the various infrastructure/devops/root related email aliases and services (kanboard and gitlab come to mind). Please do keep me on the mirrors@archlinux.org alias for now though since I still handle mirror related requests. I also see that I am the only one on the dmarc-reports@ alias. If nobody is interested in the reports, please remove the relevant line from the DMARC DNS entry in the archlinux.org zone. Also, please remove my email address from the explicit hetzner contact list. If you think of anything else that I forgot, please disable it or, if in doubt, feel free to ask on IRC if I still need it.
Thanks for the journey!
Florian
Hey Florian, Sad to see you go! You've done so much for Arch infrastructure. I hope you'll find time to return to it some day. You'll be more than welcome to return. :) Truth be told, I had no idea we had a devops leader role. :P I've made a ticket to handle the offboarding tasks. Cheers, Sven
