Hi Tor,
The sysadmin and services team will start sending monthly reports, starting right here.
# What's been done
- Moving our last three systems over to Debian Stretch; making good progress on most of them
- Getting Linus up to speed; there's a fabulous amount of information to be absorbed
- Hiring process moving along; we're still hiring a full time senior systems administrator
- Finding a date and a place for a in-person meeting; we're meeting the days before FOSDEM [0]
- Added dnsnode.net to the set of DNS servers for our zones; using widely anycasted servers for DNS should lower the distance that queries have to travel the internet
- Taking part in discussions about a search function on some of our websites
- Planning for how to make best use of a bunch of donated hardware
- The ordinary resolving of requests, as can be followed better over at [1]
