Populating another blade for maemo.org
Editor: Ryan Abel
One of the topics that came up in the last council meeting was regarding funds to populate another blade in the maemo.org server. Currently 2 of the 4 dual-socket blades are populated with a single CPU. The plan is to add a CPU and RAM to a third blade. The existing servers are running at capacity keeping most of maemo.org's services operational, the third CPU would give some room to play around with and keep services running more optimally during periods of peak demand. The current cost is estimated at about €1000. The Hildon Foundation has around $4000 in its coffers.
As the Hildon Foundation's PayPal donations are not currently functioning, Joerg Reisenweber (a council member and one of the primary drivers keeping maemo.org operational) has volunteering his personal PayPal account to accept donations for maemo.org infrastructure (or just staff tips!).
