Ken, I think you are missing the point of my inquiry. Our hosting is totally
free since it is through the university. We are not however in position to
host something does not necessarily fall under our mission.
So, the question is whether we consider E17 project part of our mission and
if so should we offer them a free hosting service.

Hi all,
In my recent discussion on the future of linux on the desktop, one of
suggestions was to look into the continually developing enlightenment
desktop solution which does have amazing efficiency as well as steady
development pace.
My recent investigation on the status of the project has revealed that
the
project is in dire need of funding for the
purpose of getting a new
server.
This got squeaky cogs in my head turning and I
began wondering what if
Linuxaudio.org offered them server space for their needs, especially
since
this is one thing we can offer at practically no
cost to us. I've not
yet
bothered to mention this to the enlightenment
team even in a form of a
remote possibility, namely because I am not sure if this is something
Linuxaudio.org wants to use its limited resources on...
So my question/poll to you is, would this be something that bears
relevance
to our mission (IMHO it does, albeit
indirectly).
Any ideas/comments?
I use and highly recommend NearlyFreeSpeech.NET for hosting.
Dirt cheap, great service, and technically they are serious geeks. How
many other web hosters give you emacs and CLISP (among others) in your SSH
environment? Plus, they've fully embraced the Open Source Ideology, which
I support enthusiastically.
I can't imagine using anyone else for web hosting, especially if money is
tight.
