[OSM-talk] Hardware Upgrade Fund

2009-02-08 Thread Etienne
Thank you to everyone who has donated to the hardware upgrade fund.  We've
reached our target in under three days which is amazing.

We are going to keep the appeal open for at least a few more days.  We know
there are more donations in the pipeline and there are still lots of people
who won't have had a chance to contribute yet.

While no decision has been made about what any additional contribution might
be used for, there is the long suffering wiki server, the namefinder server
and of course the mapnik tile server, all of which would be helped by more
horsepower.

 Wow.

With one step 50% over the target.
Apparently the API server has gotten scared that it is going to be replaced. I 
can't get any data from it at all.
Has it gone in hiding in some closet somewhere? ;)

I think it must be queueing at the unemployment office. ;-)

Presumably it can be employed elsewhere in the project?  We wouldn’t
want to be responsible for increasing unemployment rates. :)

I think there's a plan to redeploy it for some other service, so as well as
a faster DB server we should see improvements in other services.
