It looks like your MUA wraps long lines, here's the query URL, hoping
it won't get wrapped:

https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/query?status=new&status=reopened&milestone=Sysadmin+Contract+2019-I

I think every sysadmin round should include update of all docs, so
that by the end of each slot any other sysadmin can take over, it's
important to keep bus factor low..

LXD is new, right ?
Where's all this LXD for OSGeo business documented ?

I really appreciate all the effort you put into this Regina,
and very much hope it won't be disspated by lack of documentation
and guidance for other SAC members. I know I've been busy and unable
to attend meetings and will likely be the same for the future, so

I'd like to ask you to use email more (like this) and ensure all
procedures for sysadmin work are properly documented, from some common
starting point (last I worked on this the entry point for SAC work
was https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/SAC_Service_Status, and I think I'd
still go there to find up-to-date information. Can you make sure, in
the next contract, to update that page with whatever it takes ?
Having that page point to somewhere else is fine, as long as people
are not lost from there :)

Thanks again !
