So it's March, and despite a bit of a delay on my end, it's time for another Infrastructure Admin election. Self-nominations are now open and shall remain so for a period of one week. Please do not post in this thread unless you are self-nominating.

Re: Self-nominations for Infrastructure Admin now open

I nominate myself for another term.

For those who do not know me, I have been Infra Admin several times already. I have also been HDM of the NWN1 Baldur's Gate server for some time.

I'm a computer science assistant professor in Toulouse, France.
I'm teaching network programming and networked games and doing research on mmorpgs and serious games.

So far in my last term I worked on the following:
- Vaultster for ALFA. This is a new vault system that will replace the current one and will be easier to manage because we wont need two operating systems (Linux for the vault and Windows for the game server).
- Corrected a few bugs on the website.
- Transitionned from a web host to a dedicated server that we need for Vaultster.

In the next term I hope to do the following:
- deploy Vaultster.
- continue working on the website to correct bugs and code new systems required by the other admins.
- try to solve the problem some people from the US and Israel have when they download game updates. I have a few ideas for that, that I'll try ASAP.

Thank you for reading.

If you have any questions please ask and I'll try to answer them.

I would like to (belatedly) thank Hialmar for agreeing to another term as our Infrastructure Admin. He was easily confirmed in a vote of confidence and is set to serve for another six months.
