Nils was planning to load up a large set of samples on linuxaudio.org. We
may be able to turn the space into a community hosted sample/project
archive. However it will require many terabytes of disk space if we are
going to do it seriously and that will require us to either generate an
income stream from the users or crowd fund the hardware and hosting costs.

The consensus is that we should have a seperate server for a project like
this as the disk space requirements are bound to get expensive quickly.

But there is a business model for providing a service like that. Running
it on Linux is a no brainer. Kim Dotcom has made billions out of it so
there should be some room for Linux Audio peeps too.
