Hi, in the past Debian had some generous donors, who donated a huge amounts of high quality hardware on regual basis to the Debian project. For some reasons (not to be discussed here) those sources dont exist any more. As this hardware comes to the end of it's lifecycle, DSA will need to buy new hardware. To keep up our standards on hardware for core infrastrucure, DSA will need to spend several 10k USD on new hardware in the next year. @all: do you think it is worth spending large amount of money donated to Debian to keep our core hardware infrastructure on its current level? @all: do you think Debian should do a fundraising campain where we collect a larger amount of money dedicated to Debian's hardware infrastructure? @lucas, @algernon: in your platform you are not stating how you will handle money requests, and what do you think about using Debian's money at all. Can you please elaborate? Cheers, Martin PS: @moray: can you tell DSA the lottery numbers of next week please? </joking> -- Martin Zobel-Helas <zobel@debian.org> Debian System Administrator Debian & GNU/Linux Developer Debian Listmaster http://about.me/zobel Debian Webmaster GPG Fingerprint: 6B18 5642 8E41 EC89 3D5D BDBB 53B1 AC6D B11B 627B
