Re: [nznog] Anyone interested in donating space / connectivity / kit for a proper NZ Debian mirror?

Thinking about it though - perhaps there should be more admins of said mirror ? Sent from my iPhone

Hi everyone,

Citylink's official Debian mirror (ftp.nz.debian.org) is apparently again broken (not even listening on port 80 from where I'm sitting).

Would anyone be seriously interested in donating rack space, national transit, or hardware to the cause of another official Debian mirror for NZ?

Having reliable and cheap access to free software projects like Debian is critically important, and having a second official mirror seems like a no-brainer to me.

I am very happy to donate my time to admin and monitor any equipment provided for this, and to liase with the Debian project as required.

Perhaps Citylink could give us some insight in to the traffic levels their existing mirrors see?
