Allow myself to introduce... myself!
by Brad Hubbard
Hello all,
I have about seventeen years of experience in IT and have been using
Linux since I first install Red Hat 4.0 in about '93 or '94 I guess. I
know a few compiled languages with C++ being the stand out and have
exposure to many scripting languages including bash scripting, PHP and a
current interest in learning Python. I'm familiar with many of the
protocols that form the foundations of the "net" and have extensive
exposure to many and varied Fedora packages and open source software.
Nothing unusual.
I have noticed from posts in this list that sysadmin-noc could use
people and given this is read only access it's probably the safest place
to start as well :) I have been conversing with dgilmore on IRC and he
has kindly agreed to sponsor me (obviously a fearless soul).
Cheers, I look forward to working with you all,
Brad

I thought that 301 and 302 both do this, but 302 generally is used for
temporary redirects, and 301 for permanent ones. So 301 would be the
one you're thinking of here perhaps?

I wonder how long you would need 301's in place before it's safe to
remove them? Because I think Infrastructure's not keen on maintaining
a big list of these.

Staging rebuild
by Mike McGrath
Once we're confident 5.5 is done and happy (smooge is working on this now.
thanks smooge!) I'd like to rebuild the staging environment. Mostly
because it'd be nice for this to be a regular thing that happens during a
release cycle.
Anyone have a problem with that?
