+ Adaptec 1740A EISA SCSI controller and two disk drives. A 330Mb
+ root disk and a 660Mb disk to hold the archive. Both were 5.25"
+ full-height drives. All the pieces came off pallets of materials
+ heading out for scrap. Before it left Bdale the archive disk got
+ swapped out for a 1.3Gb drive, also 5.25" full height scsi and a

+\subsection{Present}
+\begin{frame}{The Team}{\alert{Me fail English? That's unpossible.}}
+ FTP Masters
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Joerg Jaspert - Ganneff
+ \item Mark Hymers - mhy
+ \end{itemize}
+
+ FTP Assistants
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Frank Lichtenheld - djpig
+ \item Mike O'Connor - stew
+ \end{itemize}
+
+ FTP Trainee
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Barry deFreese - bdefreese
+ \item You?!
+ \end{itemize}
+
+ Since April 2008 we almost always had people in the FTP Trainee role.
+\end{frame}
+
+\section{The roles}
+\subsection{FTP Master}
+\begin{frame}{FTP Master}{\alert{Don't you kids take anything. I'm watching you. I've got eye implants in the back of my head.}}
+The FTP Master role, unix group \alert{debadmin}, is ...
+ \begin{block}{(Lets cite Matthew Garrett)}
+ ... responsible for maintaining the infrastructure
+ required to support the archive. This takes the form of the scripts used
+ for processing uploaded packages, but also the flow of packages between
+ distributions.
+ \end{block}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Keep the archive running
+ \item Keep the archive legal
+ \item Support the teams that depend on it (Release, Security, soon backports/volatile)
+ \item Keep the archive uptodate with the requirements of the project
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\subsection{FTP Assistant}
+\begin{frame}{FTP Assistant}{\alert{Ganneff - see topic. our motto. yeah.}}
+The FTP Assistant role, group \alert{ftpteam}, created 2005, allows
+additions of people to the FTP Team without having to hand out full FTP
+Master rights.
+
+It allows
+\begin{itemize}
+\item to process NEW,
+\item to handle overrides,
+\item to remove packages.
+\end{itemize}
+
+Thus the most common actions can be done but the possible damage that
+can happen by accident is limited.
+\end{frame}
+
+\subsection{FTP Trainee}
+\begin{frame}{FTP Trainee}{\alert{Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try. \tiny \\ Hello i18n cabal. :)}}
+The FTP Trainee role, group \alert{ftptrainee}, was created in 2008 to
+allow easy training and testing of future team members.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Initially called ``slave\_NEW''
+
+\pause
+
+\item 6 people trained so far
+\item 2 promoted to Assistants
+\end{itemize}
+
+Trainees can look at NEW and do the usual package checks, but they can
+not actually accept or reject a package. Instead they leave a note,
+which an Assistant or Master reads and acts on.
+\end{frame}
+
+\section{The job}
+\subsection{Archives}
+\begin{frame}{Archives}{\alert{You can't keep blaming yourself. Just blame yourself once, and move on.}}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item The main archive, ftp.debian.org
+ \item The security archive, security.debian.org
+ \item (Soon) The volatile archive, volatile.debian.org (integrated
+ into main archive)
+ \item (Soon) The backports.org archive, www.backports.org (-> backports.debian.org)
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\subsection{Removals and Overrides}
+\begin{frame}{Removals and Overrides}{\alert{mhy - I was upset to discover (via grepping my logs) that I actually said that quote in one of the subtitles verbatim}}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Removals
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item (Semi)-Automagic via cruft-report
+ \item Manual, with help from a nice html page
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item Overrides
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Priority / Section
+ \item Override disparity
+ \item Currently by mail, should be changed to using BTS
+ \end{itemize}
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\subsection{NEW}
+\begin{frame}{NEW}{\alert{mhy - Ganneff airlines: departing from a window near you}}
+
+NEW checking is about three things. In order of priority:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item trying to keep the archive legal,
+\item trying to keep the package namespace sane,
+\item trying to reduce the number of bugs in Debian.
+\end{itemize}
+
+A small list of most common checks
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Check the source for license problems
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item incompatibility
+ \item non-free license terms
+ \end{itemize}
+\item (sane) package renames / splits
+\item Policy violation
+\item source for everything included?
+\item ...
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\subsection{Code}
+\begin{frame}{Code}{\alert{Oh, so they have Internet on computers now!}}
+git clone https://ftp-master.debian.org/git/dak.git
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Python
+\item and some Shell
+\item and some Perl
+\item at least 9 years old
+\item at minimum 40 different authors
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\section{How to help / join}

+\subsection{QA Team}
+\begin{frame}{Join the Army, err, QA Team}{\alert{mhy - oh god. Ganneff has been on TV? I'm surprised the sets didn't all explode}}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Do QA work
+ \item File removal bugs for unmaintained, outdated or otherwise no longer needed packages
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\subsection{Bug triage}
+\begin{frame}{Bug triage}{\alert{I am so smart! I am so smart! S-M-R-T! I mean S-M-A-R-T...}}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Retitle bugs to fit our removal format
+ \item Close bugs that don't apply (anymore)
+ \item Make sure removals can happen (rev-deps anyone?)
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
