Infrastructure Team
Contents
The Infrastructure Team exists to manage the GNOME servers, tools, and utilities for the GNOME Project. We are the people that maintain the servers and create the applications to make GNOME development simpler. We're located all over the globe and communicate primarily by IRC and mailing lists.
More information on the servers and services supported by the team can be found on the Servers page.
We handle all the setting and configuration of new services, migration and development of existing services, and keep an eye on server logs and server status. We track issues using the request tracker queues, GitLab categories related to the GNOME systems and generally look after the day-to-day administration requirements of the GNOME Project.
