Technical needs & wishes: infrastructure

  • >= 99,5% network availability SLA (= 2 days of downtime/year)

  • Any idea of our current bandwidth usage?
  • Do we need our own dedicated (virtual) machine?
  • ssh access
    • map developer
    • who else?
  • Debian/Ubuntu OS preferred
  • have a clear spare alternative around:
    • temporary migration of services to another machine
    • development work
  • limiting "exotic" software eases migration
  • for free offers:
    • preference for Debian/Ubuntu people
    • written contract:
      • >= 1 year

      • warning at least a month before kicking us out
      • reputation:
        • trusted by people in the know
        • historical network uptime?

Investment

  • Money. Do we want to spend (donated) money on this?
  • Sponsoring. Can we accept sponsors for this without compromising our independence?
  • Volunteer time.

Volunteers and their skills

Random ideas

  • round robin for increased availability
