[SAC] University of Zaragoza offering hardware

Hi,

The University of Zaragoza (UniZar) is offering hardware to mirror things in OSGeo. They were thinking on the download server, but it could be anything we need (like the videos from events?). Who should I tell them to contact with to discuss OSGeo’s needs? I am not sure if they would even be willing to offer hosting for other things that are less “mirrorly”, didn’t want to discuss that without really knowing if that would suit us and what are our needs.

They are already maintaining one of the official OpenStreetMap tile servers: https://hardware.openstreetmap.org/servers/culebre.openstreetmap.org/ and they are very happy to contribute to open source projects.

Cheers,
María.

I'd go with OSGeo SAC chair: Alex M <tech_dev@wildintellect.com>

I'd love to see some Drone agents in place (similar to a mirror in
that it can go away any time w/out ruining anything) but I guess a
video mirroring could be good too (can't remember now where we hosted
our videos, was some also donated space in germany?)

Thank you Sandro, I will put them in contact soon.

The type of mirror was suggested by me, so feel free to suggest other things. We are still on the early stages of collaboration and we can try any agreement that fits us the best.
