System operator for Maemo infrastructure needed

The migration of maemo.org from Nokia's stewardship to a community run and financed infrastructure is still underway. The new servers are up and running and most of the services are nearly ready in their new home. Short-term, one of the last major short-term blockers left is in the handover of DNS control from Nokia to the Hildon Foundation (on which there has been no visible movement unfortunately). Long-term, however, maemo.org is in need of a capable volunteer sysadmin for maemo.org: Systems administration is frustrating, involved work that requires a wide range of detailed technical skills and rarely follows a predictable schedule. Any competent individual who steps up to this task will be owed a great deal by this community.
