Managing Young Sys Admins At Oregon State Open Source Lab

mstansberry writes "Lance Albertson, architect and systems administrator at the Oregon State University Open Source Lab, uses a sys admin staff of 18-21-year-old undergrads to manage servers for some high-profile, open-source projects (Linux Master Kernel, Linux Foundation, Apache Software Foundation, and Drupal to name a few). In this Q&A, Albertson talks about the challenges of using young sys admins and the lab's plans to move from Cfengine to Puppet for systems management."

They are server administrators, which means they probably look like the average slashdotter. Do you really want to see that?

I heard from one of the higher-ups that Gnome projects' names are more like an inside joke. "How can we make some of the best software out there and give them the most aweful names?"
