[Hosting] Call for volunteers: mirror maintainers needed

[Jeremy Portzer]

Hello,

We have now mostly completed the setup of the TriLUG mirror server, 
dargo.trilug.org.  Access is by HTTP (requires member number) and 
FTP (anonymous access available, but limited; login with member number for 
full access).  The CNAME for mirrors.trilug.org will be pointing to the 
new server very soon.

I'm looking for maintainers who are willing to take a section of the 
mirrors under their wing and do the following:
	*  verify that the current mirrors are correct (ie, MD5s match etc)
	*  fix the current mirrors if not correct; for example whoever 
downloaded them currently did them in a way that reset the file mtime.  
This should be fixed.
	*  set up rsync or similar utility to keep updates up-to-date

Here are the general areas of the mirrors:
	Red Hat -- need maintainer   (Kevin do you still want to do this?)
	Mandrake -- Tanner Lovelace
	linux-kernel -- need maintainer
	VA Linux -- need maintainer (if this needs maintainance; it 
probably doesn't)
	Immunix -- need maintainer
	CPAN -- doesn't exist yet -- Tanner Lovelace will add
	other -- if you want to see something else mirrored, volunteer to 
be a maintainer!  :-)

Right now we are using about 33% of the 100-GB array, so we have plenty of 
room for more stuff.  However, I'd like each maintainer to monitor disk 
space; as we start filling it up we'll need to decide which items are most 
important.

If you'd like to be a maintainer, let me know and I'll add you to the 
mirrors group on dargo.  You'll need to get an LDAP/kerberos account if 
you don't already have one; email Tanner for more information on this.
