Any info about that anywhere? it's pointed to from our getting started doc: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/GettingStarted https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure_Apprentice ...snip... > openSUSE's donation program has the people usually ship the hardware > to them to be set up by the openSUSE Heroes (their equivalent of the > Fedora admin team).

I'm not sure the legal logistics of this. Is that a "donation"? Fedora doesn't exist as a legal entity to accept it as far as I know. Also, we have been offered donated hardware in the past, but it's usually more trouble than it's worth. (ie, "I was about to toss this PentiumIII box out, but I thought I would donate it to you instead"). All these are things we could work out however. ...snip... > If there's not much holding it back, we should transition to it > anyway.

I agree the hard part is hopefuly over, but there is still ongoing support (upgrades, updates, adding new machines, etc). kevin
