I have to chime in again because I have knowledge in the space of dealing with hosting of open source communities. Yes, we could get a server for $40 - 50 /month easily. Who's going to maintain it? Who's going to back it up? Who's going to make sure its up-to-date from a security perspective? Who's going to deal with it if there is a catastrophic failure of the hardware? Who's going to be on call 24/7 to manage the machine should something come up? Also, there is sensitive data on this machine in the mailing lists; is this something we want to trust to just anybody? Let's make sure we're comparing apples to apples here. > Yes - or perhaps the amount is completly overblown. One year hosting != 10K, > sorry... I should have clarified. This was a one-time donation/payment to the OSL for the the hosting of the OpenID community on the OSL network for both the past 2 years and for the foreseeable future. _______________________________________________ board mailing list [email protected] http://openid.net/mailman/listinfo/board _______________________________________________ board mailing list [email protected] http://openid.net/mailman/listinfo/board
