Additionally, there are new guidelines in place for next year's admins:

As part of announcing next year’s student admins we want to make some things clear.

1- Any student who shows an interest, capability and willingness to work on a project can and should be granted an opportunity to do that work. This means the interested student will be provided with adequate rights or a sandbox to do this work. In many cases this will lead to further responsibilities assuming the student follows through on the project and demonstrates an appropriate level of skills, maturity, responsibility and commitment. This means there is no sysadmin/non-sysadmin distinction. The work is a matter of commitment and a strong sense of responsibility. So, anyone can do the work if they demonstrate the ability and commitment; in that way everyone is a sysadmin performing a service for the school community.
2- This coming year’s model reflects a return to a sysadmin model in place for most of the years the sysadmin program has been in place: a core set of students (largely but not exclusively seniors) manage root and admin passwords as well as services, while any number of other students may take on various projects as needed or as interest dictates.
3- One student takes on the responsibility of Head Admin. This individual is responsible for setting the agenda for meetings (along with Mr. Morasca and/or Mr. Washer), running the meetings, tracking punch lists of projects that need to get done or are in the process of being done.
4- Students can (and probably should) take on increased responsibilities during the course of the school year as long as they show the appropriate level of:

Maturity
Responsibility
Skill set and knowledge
Team work skills
Self-learning skills and ability to be self-motivated
Leadership skills
Reliability
Commitment

5- Sun systems will not be further integrated with other systems in the lab and the school. The sun platform that runs productivity is not experimental. Sun servers designated as experimental should be used for that purpose. Resources and utilities may be migrated over to production servers ONLY with the approval of Mr. Morasca and Mr. Washer (note that does not say ‘or’).
6- Finally, all sysadmins will remain in the current TA assignments. I expect that means that rising seniors who were in the sysadmin TA this year will be re-assigned to their original TA. The reason for this is that TA is being restructured next year and will only meet a limited number of times. The original purpose of having a separate TA was to provide extra time for sysadmins to work, however with the restructuring there will only be four available TA sessions.
