Anfang der weitergeleiteten Nachricht:
Von: Fredy Kuenzler kuenzler@init7.net Datum: 22. August 2018 um 15:40:10 MESZ An: swinog@swinog.ch Betreff: mirror.switch.ch to be closed down
SWITCH announced that they plan to close down mirror.switch.ch. See announcement http://mirror.switch.ch/
I personally think this is very sad. In the name of the community I would like to thank SWITCH for their support over all these years.
However I would like to start the discussion how we can keep mirror.switch.ch alive as a community effort.
Can the decision makers at SWITCH please explain the preconditions? Funding for new hardware? Throw in some bandwidth? Colocation? Server management?
Please discuss.
