Developer <mail link="robbat2"/>, who is a <uri |
| 26 |
link="/foundation/en/">trustee</uri> board member, <uri |
| 27 |
link="/proj/en/infrastructure/"> infrastructure team lead,</uri> spoke with |
| 28 |
<mail link="dabbott"/>. |

Robin is the backbone of the Gentoo infrastructure which includes the forums, |
| 33 |
bugzilla, and most important the mother of it all, the Gentoo Portage tree. |

He describes his first open source project, phpMyadmin, how he became a Gentoo |
| 38 |
developer, and the layout of the infrastructure. |

"Nearly 50 percent of the infrastructure hardware is taken up by web |
| 43 |
applications, because we have a lot of separation between web applications that |
| 44 |
have a high security exposure. Admittedly some of the web services are a very |
| 45 |
big deal for Gentoo, like our Bugzilla service, running on 4 machines sponsored |
| 46 |
by the Dutch social network, Hyves. Very recently we've gotten new hardware for |
| 47 |
Forums, sponsored by Gossamer Threads. The next largest slice after that is the |
| 48 |
machines that provides rsync.gentoo.org service. Only then do we get down to |
| 49 |
individual machines for purposes. There's some cases where having more hardware |
| 50 |
as fail-over in case we lose a machine would be nice, but I think the place |
| 51 |
that'd we would benefit the most presently would be a newer mail server |
| 52 |
infrastructure, so that we can deploy heavier spam filtering." |
