A WebMaster’s view of Eclipse.org

Rants, praise and observations related to the technical and psychological challenges of running servers for a pretty busy site.

Poll results: let’s talk servers and sysadmin stuff at EclipseCon

Yesterday I conducted a highly accurate poll asking whether anyone would want to talk sysadmin stuff at EclipseCon.  It’s a developer-oriented conference, so I thought the question was valid.

What I learned was that either most of the respondents are liars, or my polling software is flawed. I mean, 32 respondents said their name is Gunnar.  Really.

Also, the overwhelming majority voted “I only hang out with webmasters for the free beer.”  I know that can’t be true.

So Karl and I will host a really informal Servers/SysAdmin/Stuff talk at some point at EclipseCon.  I think the most appropriate location for serious discussion such as this is the lounge bar, right?

Here’s the complete breakdown.  I didn’t bother to remove bots and duplicates.  Hey, if I had that kind of time, I’d be installing git, right?

Yeah, that one was rigged in my favour…  Props to the person who did register that vote!
