DavorOcelic, HCOOP Inc. system administrator and Board of Directors member.
1. System administrator position
AdamChlipala is primarily taking care of the HCOOP Wiki, Members portal and DomainTool (along with all the services configured through it). He also created most of the new accounts.
The areas that I cover include the installation, firewall, database, quota, limit, kernel, logging and security system. There's probably more I could do in each of those areas, but I'm generally satisfied with the level we've achieved. I also take part in the usual Request Ticket resolution.
2. Board of Directors position (2006)
My year 2005 platform was pretty brief. Namely, one year ago
- we were still using our old server (abulafia.hcoop.net)
- we were half the current size
more of us were visiting #hcoop channel at the FreeNode IRC network (irc.gnu.org server, for example)
- more manual user-to-admin communication was required
- all new users had to exchange a mail or two with me
Today, things are looking different. We have
- the new server (hopefully with increased automation and security infrastructure)
- a nice member base (kind greeting to everyone who joined through our new partly-automated setup!)
an extraordinary members portal ([http://members.hcoop.net/] - all fame richly deserved by AdamChlipala), and this new wiki ([http://wiki.hcoop.net/])
Consequently, I think you are not as generally familiar with me as the older members were a year ago. Therefore, I feel I should include a brief summary of who I am, and what are my plans for HCOOP in 2006.
My name is Davor Ocelic, I am a Computer Science graduate (specializing in hardware logic and systems), and live in Croatia (timezone GMT+1, with even a few pictures available at [http://colt.projectgamma.com/tmp/op/]).
I am actively involved in Free Software. My ongoing work includes proof-reading and arranged official co-autorship for [http://debiansystem.info/books The Debian System] book (see also [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1593270690/ Amazon.com entry]), position in the [http://www.icdevgroup.org/ Interchange Development Group], and of course HCOOP activities. For a more complete list of my technology-related activities, see my personal website at [http://colt.projectgamma.com/].
Since years ago when I turned 20 or 21, I've lost the feeling of what my "free time" actually is. Anyway, it's probably standard to include a phrase "In my free time, I..." somewhere in introduction, so I'll follow the suit. In my free time, I play tennis, listen to smooth music ([http://www.di.fm/] and [http://www.last.fm/] being my cream sources), educate myself in areas of human mind, body and physique, and do body building (trying to balance between the "classic" and Pete Sisco's approach). This is what I try to give attention to, anything else that comes unplanned is just as welcome.
3. Board of Directors position (2005)
I would like to thank everyone who voted for me on our first BoD HCOOP elections (see ["Election2005"]).
Close to what I initially predicted, our first year was marked mostly by advances in the system setup. On a parallel front, NathanKennedy was working on issues related to our legal status (see [http://hcoop.net/board/]).
Few members-related issues did pop up, but nothing that would require the Board to meet outside of the scheduled meetings.
