<h3>Web, tools, systems design & administration</h3>

to collaborate. These need experts to build, maintain, develop, provide,
manage servers, connections, security, applications, user flow, etc.
It takes <a href="/wiki/doku.php?id=sysadmin">system administrators</a>

<li id="mirror">
<h3>Mirroring</h3>
<p>Making all Mageia software available requires <a href="http://mirrors.mageia.org/">several mirrors
