The service in the Extremadura hosting facility has most often been of good quality (if we expect a few weeks where we had to fight to get SSH access to the machine working again after some firewalling changes, back in 2009). A limitation is that our contact there, César Gomez Martin (who everybody who attended DC9 knows well) is not living in the same city the host is located (churro is in Merida while César lives in Caceres). So, in some cases, we might have a few service shortages and delays to restore things. Anyway, it is time to move these services elsewhere and, definitely, under DSA control. Felipe was working on that but, again, RL seems to be hardly competing with that for him. CC'ing Felipe in order to get more details about the current situation. Felipe, if you're really stuck, we might maybe consider an alternative by finding a volunteer in the DSA team? On the other hand, whatever is the situation wrt general system administration on churro, we also need someone to take a *close care* of the DDTP/DDTSS. Someone really knowing how things are organized and working together. As already written, I know about three people who fit this (or part of this) definition: Grisu, Nicolas François and Martijn van Osterhout (DDTSS author). CC'ing everybody, plus the "debian-l10n-devel" mailing list which...has, indeed, the very same people subscribed. A crazy idea that starts emerging in my mind is maybe bringing all these people, plus 1 or 2 DSA team members (faw is part of DSA, IIRC) in the same place for 2-3 full days, lock them, feed them with pizzas and coke (no beer) and only unlock them when churro is fully under DSA control and more than 1 person is able to repair the DDTP/DDTSS. CC'ing Zack/Stefano. I can think about one place we both were in the last months, in Paris, that could fit this definition (folks from Académie de Versailles, Stefano.
