At best, we can only make some sort of effort to meet it. Enforcing |
| 12 |
something like 'not relying on one vendor' requires basically either money |
| 13 |
from us or good will from others. It's not like we can co-locate our |
| 14 |
machines whereever we want or use any software that we wish or use as much |
| 15 |
bandwidth as we wish. |

The OSL and GNi and Indiana State University have been kind enough to host |
| 18 |
many of our machines. I don't think anyone claims it's easy (except maybe |
| 19 |
patrick) to find new hosting providers or new machines. We have new |
| 20 |
machines coming; I have no idea where they are being hosted. I assume |
| 21 |
Infra isn't dumb enough to put all our machines in one place, I trust them |
| 22 |
to make intelligent choices about our Infrastructure, thats why they |
| 23 |
exist. |
