Duncan,

Thank you for reminding me of this machine. It is my opinion that this
machine is no longer used for its purpose as a beta wiki.  Since we've
migrated to linode, I do not believe we need it anymore. Just in case
I am posting this response to the internet committee list and a few
key others who may remember the history of this system better.

As far as who the hardware belongs to, this is a wplug asset.

Could we use this box for an installfest mirror for use at installfests?
There has been some talk of a distro mirror of installfests - more
recently a Fedora-specific mirror.

If not, I recommend we sell this box at the February installfest.
This will help us raise money for rent at the WSCC and other expenses.
I can not make an executive decision on the fate of this system. This
is just a recommendation to the board. Note that I am no longer on the
board.

Thanks,
Beth Lynn Eicher
