Funding sysadmin work
The SAC Chair (Alex Mandel) suggested to write down possible handling of payed sysadmin work. It was suggested:
- Paid project supervision
- Nominate an emergency response retainer
- Set up a Time and Material contract
- Set up a Proposal and Bid system
- Create a Wishlist (Once established people submit ideas to be added)
- Vote on Priority of Items
- For top items decide if it's internal or external (bid) & timeline
- For external create a proposal and request bids
- Vote on bids
- Continually fund items up to a ceiling per year (if any budget left near end of year add to cap)
- Repeat
Questions:
* How do we solicit bids ? strk> a call for interest on SAC list (priority line), on discuss list if needed (second choice) * How much to reserve for such contract ? strk> current budget seems too low to allow for a new contract, so I think we should be asking for more * How do we balance having external contractors do work without having to grant full privileged access?
Tasks
Things people agreed to do.
