Hi Frank,

We are concerned there will be too many cooks in the kitchen trying to 
get that issue resolved.  Are you interested in helping out on the 
sysadmin team longer term and on different tasks, however?

KAM

The sysadmins group is only a few people so no worries.

Do you have a linkedin profile you can send?  Mine is 
https://www.linkedin.com/in/kmcgrail

 From what I've seen, you look like a good fit.

What are your thoughts on the LISA ethics guidelines at (I don't think I 
asked this before with you, apologies if I have):?

Oh yes. I believe its a very good idea to check everyone very well who 
will get root access to any system.
Are there anyone around Frankfurt/Germany who is still working for you? 
Maybe I can speak with this person.

Frank, I think it is a good idea.  I am asking the PMC as we follow things pretty formally because you will have access to private data.

Hi Kevin,

if there will be a way how I can help I will do this.
This will give me the chance to give something back for using open 
source in my bank for many years without paying a cent.
I'm not a 100% crack on anything but I have good knowledge in a lot of 
products.
Postfix, Spamassassin, Nagios, Mysql/MariaDB, Joomla, Networking (Cisco 
Routers)....
The last thing I have done with Windows was my MCP on NT4. The last 
Windows I used was Windows7. So here I can't help too much.

Greetings

Frank
