Just read what Mathias writes, because that also corresponds to my state of 
information:

"However, this should be used as fallback only..."

(Right, Mathias writes this statement about the other link, but it also applies 
to yours. If this is not true then someone would have to contradict it).

Please let me be clear: I personally am not dissatisfied with Sourceforge, but 
I know that there are a lot of normal end users, because there are always 
queries and that's just because the Sourceforge site is absolutely confusing.

I like that but I did not know anything about it.

Now that I have knowledge of this, I would like to say something more 
comprehensive. For this I have to research some information off-list (takes a 
few days) and it will depend on the result of this research if I will start a 
discussion about it here on dev.

and I think that's bad, because once again the PMC is secretive about a topic

This is not what I am criticizing, neither on the current topic here nor on 
other topics.

I criticize that the PMC does not really manage the project.
All of us, and the PMC is at the forefront, must feel responsible for our 
entire project and must understand that project development cannot be left to 
the random interests of individuals. I repeat myself when I write:

Meritocracy must be our living tool for the common work, we must not let 
meritocracy degenerate into religion.

Yes, that is clear and undisputed.

However, it is neither possible nor necessary to discuss every topic anew at 
every time, but there are (imho) topics on which there is relative consensus 
(through previous discussions or automatically).
I personally felt that the offer of serverion.com would be a great opportunity 
for us and therefore should be treated with some support. That's all.

I would like to do that. But if I'm alone with it again and again and don't get 
any support from anyone, it's not a promising approach.

This link leads to an Apache server and it has always been communicated that we

In other words this link is a link for situations where there are temporary 
problems with Sourceforge and not a link that should be distributed as a

Or do I see it wrong? If yes, I would, from now on, publicly distribute this 
link as a download link and would not refer to our download page anymore, which 
redirects to Sourceforge.

You have asked for an alternate DL Link. This is the alternate DL link. 
If I were you I would promote both links. Let the user choose, and tell 
the pros and cons if possible.


IMHO if you are unhappy with SF.net, or any other group we should 
discuss alternates. I want to remind all PMC members that the PMC has 
discussed alternate structures as backup or as full replacement to 
SF.net in 2018. It got stuck and as much on the things we volunteers do, 
it did not advance. But stuck does not mean we can not continue, if 
there is interest.


We can also invite SF.net to discuss with our community ways on 
improving the situation. Or explain the situation why it is as it is. We 
can bring people together. Just as an alternate Idea. I am satisfied 
with the service that SF.net provides to us.


The PMC has also discussed the Idea to accredit 3rd party pages. But we 
never brought this to dev. If there are people interested to pick this 
idea up I am sure we can discuss Ideas.


There are lots of Ideas within the community what we could do. It mostly 
dies when there is no volunteer to take action. The PMC can not do 
miracles. We should ask ourselves what we can do together and not what 
this person or another person should do, for me. Ask yourself what you 
can do for the Project ;) Even small things can cause a big difference.



In other places the passing of the PMC is regularly viewed negatively.


Sure let them talk. They do not matter. If they are looking for 
constructive improvement they can bring up their Issues on dev. Anything 
else does not matter!

Therefore, Sourceforge.net is still our offical download partner.

As Dave has commented already there is no certainty that the ASF mirror 
network can handle our traffic itself. And as long as we have no other 
statement from ASF Infra there is nothing we can do.


Again, when your interest is indeed that big to change something please 
get in contact with the Infra team for mirrors at "mirr...@apache.org". 
Help to make your wish come true.

I personally have no knowledge and no insight into the technical side. 

I only know that the download via Sourceforge is problematic for many users and 
that we do not offer an alternative.
Even if this is only a single mirror, it would be a first step to create an 
alternative.

I know that there are problems there, but I myself capitulate to the lack of 
understanding of what is technically necessary and the (quasi) political will 
to solve certain things in a certain way.

In my opinion it would be a good idea for the extensions to search for the best 
possible technical solution without preconditions and to implement it.
This would be an interesting task, for which I am sure there would be 
volunteers.

Is it worth to have a discussion about it?

I am not aware of anything else, I only recognize that a generous offer has 
been made to us here, which can be of great benefit to us and which we should

Hopefully nobody has to understand that this is so? 
In other places the passing of the PMC is regularly viewed negatively.

Here are instructions on becoming an ASF Mirror:

9 years ago when the project joined it was decided that OpenOffice was too 
heavy for the mirror system. Until recently we had to let Infra know before we 
made a release in order to make sure the network was not saturated with rsync 
requests.

If you are interested here is the status of Apache mirrors. 
https://www.apache.org/mirrors/dist.html

The question to ask Infra is if it is time for OpenOffice to be added to the 
Mirror System. Is the size still an issue?

What would be the impact if mirrors could choose to add OpenOffice at their 
discretion. That is a question for Apache Infra.

I am more concerned about the Extensions and Templates sites that are Drupal 
sites hosted by Source Forge.

It is effort from volunteers to support everything.

Where are there more details on serverion.com’s AOO mirror?

Hi Desmond,
[...]


do you think that we can somehow actively help Desmond to

get his server registered with Apache?

managing the Apache mirror network is in the hands of Apache. I think
it's up to the Infra team.

We as project cannot help here. That's the reason why I
directed Desmond
to the linked webpage.


It was important to me to at least offer my personal help with something that I 
think is important.
It may be that I find the technical things more difficult than they are, just 
some personal support never seems wrong to me.

By the way, I would like to make one more remark:
why am I apparently the only one who thinks that such technical contributions 
in kind should be appreciated similarly to donations? Would it not be the task 
of our PMC to discuss this question with the ASF?
What I mean is that it would be motivating for serverion.com, and possible 
future providers, if their support would be publicly acknowledged.

We know exactly that we are almost completely dependent on Sourceforge, because 
beyond Sourceforge we have only one mirror (link I don't know at the moment) 
whose address is only given in case of emergency and with the hint not to 
spread the address too far so that the traffic doesn't get too high.
At OOo we had dozens of Mirrors in the past and why we do not care if one is 
offered to us I do not understand.


when you think it is important for us, then I suggest that you step up 
and get in contact with the ASF. This topic is not tied to the PMC. 
Everyone can help if she/he thinks it would make a difference.

Hi Gavin,

It was important to me to at least offer my personal help with something that I 
think is important.
It may be that I find the technical things more difficult than they are, just 
some personal support never seems wrong to me.

By the way, I would like to make one more remark:

Desmond's offer is great and important to us [*] and that's why we should get 
active and not just give information.

Personally, I'm not familiar with these technical questions, but if there is 
anything I can do to make it work with the mirror at serverion.com, please let 
me know and I will take care of it.


[*]
Why? 
Well, I think we all know the problems that users, unfortunately, occasionally 
have with downloading from Sourceforge.  


greetings,
Joerg

Hi Desmond,

thank you very much for your interest in Apache OpenOffice.

Please note that the Apache OpenOffice project do not have an own mirror 
system anymore as it was as OpenOffice belonged to Sun and Oracle.


But Apache has an own mirror system you can participate in.

Especially for OpenOffice downloads we use the mirror network of 
Sourceforge.net.


So, if you are interessted please get in contact with Apache [1] and / 
or Sourceforge.net [2].


[1] https://infra.apache.org/how-to-mirror.html
[2] https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Join%20as%20a%20Mirror/

I hope this information is helpful for you.

Marcus
