For example, kwade-page (at) fedoraproject.org would send to an SMS page number that I can specify in FAS. The reason is to let us set strict and harsh spamassassin rules behind those aliases. Or perhaps an SMS is not passed through the alias channel unless it is sent from an email address that is on record for a FAS account holder. Or perhaps it is an even smaller list of people who can use that SMS, a specific set of From: email addresses and SMS numbers. Personally, I want to know when infrastructure I have a stake in is having problems, but I don't want to be nagged by nagios. So, these are definitely escalation paths that need a human involved, probably one who has seen/heard of the problem and is sure it is real. Similarly, when I detect a problem that really needs intervention, I want a way to know that someone with a key and an interest knows about it. That for me was the most frustrating part of the F7 launch, when the first few days passed and problems arose, I was never sure it had anyone's attention and so stuff languished that had an easy resolution. Even volunteers have good reason to want an early and useful page. Arriving Just In Time is not only good for one's hero profile, it also helps keep five minute solutions from being three hour problems. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
