I'm on #fedora-admin anytime you want to ask questions and get started. (Note that there's a holiday in the United States next week so I might not be available the whole week). For Upstream Release Monitoring, which you've been prototyping successfully on your own, we probably want to have it run on bapp01 in our infrastructure and put the configuration into puppet (where we can use templates to keep the password in a separate repository from the rest of the config) eventually. Currently, that's running RHEL5.5, though. One possibility is to pull in the python2.6 package from EPEL onto that box but I don't know if you are using a lot of third party modules (in which case, it might be easier to port the code to run on python-2.4 than it is to port away from the modules that do not have python26 packages.) We'll also update all the app servers to RHEL6 at some point but that will require a lot of testing to be sure that everything still runs (mediawiki, transifex, and all of our home-grown TurboGears apps) so we don't have a definite timeline yet. A formal RfR will be good so that we can know who to contact should it go down and could possibly provide some hints as to who can take over should something happen to you. Put me down as the Infrastructure Sponsor and then contact me so we can tlak about getting you the necessary privileges to do the work. -Toshio
