Hello everyone, tl;dr: I would like to hereby apply as junior devops with jelle and klausenbusk sponsoring my application. I am using linux systems since around 2012, arch-based systems since 2016 and Arch Linux itself since 2018. Since a few years I am also an active contributor to open source software either by publishing own projects or modifying existing ones to fit my liking[0]. In Arch Linux I am currently mainly contributing as Package Maintainer[1], Tester, via contributions to various projects (devtools, AUR, archwiki etc)[2] and anywhere where I find contributing fun or figure someone needs to step up. I like things moving fast and improving over their status quo and feel like Arch Linux is a great fit to actually do that. Outside of Arch Linux I have so far already worked a few years as a part time linux systems administrator (2018-2021) and also still do on a volunteer basis for my student council (since 2018). I am therefore quite used to ansible, the mediawiki stack, hedgedoc, monitoring with the prometheus stack, backups via borg(matic) and in general just quickly getting any unknown systems to run when they are needed for the project or putting in the maintenance work to keep existing systems happily running. Past and current contributions to infrastructure projects in Arch Linux include helping a bit during the git packaging migration and when the gitlab was hit by spam and recently more meaningful contributions to the wiki setup[3][4] and in the light of the upcoming bugtracker migration[5][6]. To be able to further help out in the devops team I would like to become part of it as junior devops. I would initially be interested in the following areas, but will pick up whatever looks doable and progress from there: - Bugtracker, Gitlab and Bugbuddy (for the bugtracker migration) - Mediawiki (SSO, updates and fixes) - Hedgedoc Thanks for reading until here, I am excited to see your reactions/feedback!
