If there is need for a european 'private sync' server, then we have |
| 2 |
plenty of bandwith for that connected right to the AMSIX in amsterdam, |
| 3 |
which we will be glad to donate (ehm still need to run that by the |
| 4 |
board, but using more bandwith will give the research network more |
| 5 |
reasons to upgrade us sooner, so usually the board is just fine with |
| 6 |
stuff like this :) ) |

However we cannot donate a dedicated server atm. The reason for this is |
| 9 |
quite simple, in that our budgets and mission plan basically say that |
| 10 |
any 'spending' should be done for the benefit of the local university |
| 11 |
community. A public sync/ftp server falls into this category since it |
| 12 |
allows our students to experiment with different types of OS'es and |
| 13 |
stuff like that, which we like to encourage. a private server however |
| 14 |
does not fall into this category. |
