I think there was already one or two people designated for that, but honestly, i forget who... So... for the people who want to admin the production boxes: now is the time to talk to mark and brion about that. That is the foundation's turf and out of my reach. I'm told, however, that granting access there is less problematic than approving toolserver accounts, since there is no access to private user data (except IP addresses, I guess). -- daniel -- Daniel Kinzler Software Developer Wikimedia Deutschland Phone +49 30 219 158 260 Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason schrieb: ... All the boxes are in the Netherlands :) To calrify: there are three OSM boxes, all located at Evoswitch in Haarlem, NL. Two of them (a database and a tile cache) are for production duty. They are run by the Foundation, and only few people will have access. The third box is part of the Toolserver cluster, and run by Wikimedia Germany. A lot of people may get access to this one, and this is the one you admin :) Reading back a bit, it seems that Sven Anders was designated to be the admin for those boxes. But I expect it would be good if there was more than one OSM person with access to them. All people with Wikimedia shell/root access will be able to access the OSM production boxes too, but they probably won't except for emergencies. Sven, Please contact Mark and Brion about getting access. Oh, and Tim Alder is designated to decide who will get access to the OSM Toolserver. Tim, please contact me about this. -- daniel -- Daniel Kinzler Software Developer Wikimedia Deutschland Phone +49 30 219 158 260 Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.

Note that root access at the toolserver needs approval from the Foundation, because it entailes access to private user data. Root access to the production boxes is also handeled by the foundation, but it's less critical, because it doesn't entail any access to wiki databases. I don't know if Sven would like help with that, please sort that out. BTW, do you have suggestions for the server names? -- Daniel Kinzler Software Developer Wikimedia Deutschland Phone +49 30 219 158 260 Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.
