19 This is a bit off-topic for this thread, but the last I had heard we
20 already had the hardware and it just needed somebody to set it up.
21 That was a few months ago so that could be stale.

23 I am concerned that infra is fairly overworked, and the nature of it
24 makes it harder to bring new people in to help. It isn't like anybody
25 can just pick up a server and start admining it the way they can work
26 on a package. Stuff like this is probably why github seems to be
27 slowly taking over the world.
