What we need

While you can always support our activities financially and by getting active yourself, we also have need for specific hardware for our activities.

In particular, we are currently looking for

• Co-location rackspace for 5-7 servers including Internet connectivity: We want to centralize our installations so that we are becoming more flexible when we need to change or add to our current installations.
• Server Hardware (rack-mountable): Anything helps.
• Backup hardware: more specifically RAID systems, tape autochanger hardware (preferrably DLT). We also need tapes.
• Remote control devices: power on/off, remote consoles etc.

If you have other hardware that you consider donating and would like to know whether we have use for it, please contact system-hackers@fsfeurope.org.
