Jason Dunsmore set us up with a rackspace = account a few years ago (2010 IIRC) and has done a great service to our = community by running the server for us and giving us many additional = capabilities beyond what we used to have. Orgmode.org is hosting its = own git repositories which we all use to get our updates and to push = patches. It also runs the orgmode.org website and the worg pages, which = are automatically created from the basic Org files whenever we push a = change. I don't know if any of you has ever experience downtime of = orgmode.org in the last few year - I do not. Over all these years Jason has put up with the hosting costs. Now = Rackspace is stepping in, letting us do all of this for free, and = without any ads we would have to display (except this one, maybe :) ) = The server works great, just a virtual Linux machine where we (Jason, = Bastien and myself) can log in and do all the configuration we want. A = few minutes ago I tried creating a new VM, then resizing it, a lot of = fun. As far as I know, we have a carte blanche from Rackspace, so if we = can think of an additional interesting service we want to provide, we = could. Let me know if you come up with an idea. Kodos to Jason for all his (continuing!) great work, and Kodos for = Rackspace for the sponsorship! - Carsten --Apple-Mail=_0D17298E-1BC5-4EF6-B456-D97AC10911D2 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Message signed with OpenPGP using GPGMail -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJSQvfwAAoJEO+gg/nAZuwMiccIAIuW/HMDkdS/T2dIddLyEC3x M6OVmnZJlA7mU4WXTcQpvbFDLAviBVl3yZxMaLLcQ/3MdU/Z4C9qMRUUw/Y5YXS/ wx/q9Ixv/pXHqBBO/1EkoBmSAXfRCXYiDfy0fhfe9bxawjOUZPwTNnf3zhmZcDXs tCyLM+Fj9P5b4TfBbzAkBu+j1pKCRKDjn4f3ZQYamitZQJD5b74I5B/3qDn4rQ9t PxD7NyyzKuNUfDXmLYivGAdGYSLXnN1FhQ6hyeY1mcAz7zsLlGLUhJCG/nSVfCsK KcbCXoG6N+YNabA7jHDO41jFDHyBqOFPAY/ZszGbQ2H1ZfgQOjyZRhHcd6+GxaA= =aqeU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Apple-Mail=_0D17298E-1BC5-4EF6-B456-D97AC10911D2--
