Greetings everyone. As those of you who frequent IRC probably already know, we are trying out having a Fedora Infrastructure "oncall" person for IRC reuqets/queries/pings. You can find out who this is by asking zodbot: zodbot: oncall smooge (Stephen Smoogen) is oncall. If I do not respond please file a ticket and then we would really appreciate it if you directed your IRC ping to the nick listed in oncall or (as the reply says) just file a ticket. Why are we doing this? Well, there are 4 of us who are full time paid sysadmin/ops folks for Fedora Infrastructure and we were finding that a large portion of time for everyone was being taken up by IRC interrupts. Sometimes interrupting multiple people for non urgent tasks. We could of course just ignore IRC, but that prevents us from handling urgent interrupts where we do want to look at something quickly. Additionally, when the oncall person doesn't know how to solve or handle some issue, they can talk to whoever does know and learn how to do it and document it. With this setup, the oncall person can plan on watching IRC and everyone else can focus on tasks that require more concentration. If your issue is not time sensitive or urgent, do also just consider filing a ticket and we will triage it and work it as soon as we are able. Thanks in advance for helping us out here. kevin
