Re: [adoptium-pmc] New processes for purchases/approvals
|
Apologies Andreas. I think realistically I’ll need to take a sabbatical from Adopt until lockdown conditions ease here in the UK. I’ll have a scan and take myself off anything that’s critical path for now.
Cheers,
Martijn

If you don't get a response from somebody closer to the infra planning
than me then I'll wade in and try to help, but it may take a bit longer
for me to get involved.
The shipping of the firewall sounds an easier one, I'll ping you to see
what can be done for that.

Tim

If the second goes down, our colo rack will be offline for at least a week. We also have nobody who can purchase replacement parts on a short notice. So while it's paramount to arrange shipping for the firewall, we need to fix the underlying problem: We need at least three people who are empowered (and willing) to take care of such things, are on different schedules (don't take vacation simultaneously etc.), have access to the necessary credentials (online store accounts, etc.), and can get reimbursed.
