openSUSE admin » Provo

Organisation/Communication

==========================

The Infrastructure Team consists of dedicated volunteers and professionals managing the servers, building the tools and utilities, and utilizing new applications if needed. We are located all over the globe and communicate primarily by Email and IRC. 

As admin@opensuse.org is pointing to a ticket system (which is not really useful for communication), the team uses a separate mailing list: heros@opensuse.org for internal discussions. We are also available via IRC on irc://irc.opensuse.org/#opensuse-admin for direct communication.
