Hello, I noticed on the website that the site, email, etc, are running on older hardware and that a single person is maintaining the site. I would like to volunteer to help in whatever capacity I can to maintain the site, etc. I used to be the webmaster for gnu.org, and I've been doing Sysadmin work on Linux for many years. Also, since you're running on older hardware, I was wondering if you would consider applying for OSS credits with AWS to run on newer instances there: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/aws-promotional-credits-open-source-projects/ I can help with forms, etc, if you'd like. Thanks for the offer to help. Unfortunately, there are several reasons why we will not consider running the GMP site on AWS. One is that the GNU project strongly believe in Free Software and that your infrastructure should adhere to that principle. Also, it is not clear to me that relying on "the cloud" under US jurisdiction is any more secure than running it in Europe. The laws of the US and the US government's practice is a major menace to anything which runs there. We have privacy invading laws here too, but the situation is much less bad here. Third, I think any company which for example does not allow its minimum-paid workers proper breaks for going to the bathroom is too horrible to do business with. -- Torbjörn Please encrypt, key id 0xC8601622 _______________________________________________ gmp-devel mailing list gmp-devel@gmplib.org https://gmplib.org/mailman/listinfo/gmp-devel
