May I ask some more details about this please; what kind/amount of storage can DSA get for this, and are these costs for the hardware and warranty, or does it also include costs of setup, hosting, power or other ancillary bits? The reason I ask, is that a feature of Debian software and development work, is being able to derive more benefit from lower-cost, general-purpose hardware. (And also because this stood out as being quite a big purchase if it is just storage). This is somewhere that contributors could help instead of financially, but by designing, developing, or simply documenting solutions that would fulfill DSA needs. I know this happens a bit already, DSA heavily makes use of Debian software and there is even a list of relevant usertagged bugs[0]. But what things are we not using Debian for yet, and where could we save DSA some money? [0]: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?users=debian-ad...@lists.debian.org Thanks!
