Hi all
as you all probably know FFmpeg/Mplayer/... is searching for a new free server & hosting ...
We received the following offers for a new server and hosting. If you think any of them are a bad choice then please speak now! i ommited one non free offer and one unspecific offer from a company who alternatively would want to finnancially sponsor us. as well as at least one which would be technically insufficient
If i forgot some offer or theres a mistake in the list below please reply and add/correct the offer ASAP!
I also intend to add a mention & link to the footer of the FFmpeg webpage for whoever is choosen, several of the sponsors below did not ask for that though. If you object to that, again, please speak now.
I intend to accept 2 of the offers below for redundancy, again if you think something else should be done, speak now!
I almost forgot replying. And i guess if i dont reply noone will feel authorative and reply anytime soon ...
there are only 2 options noone had a argument against. OVH and vlc had arguments in public, hetzner (virus issue & 50euro/mo, also public) kierans box is too weak/old to host all our services but works fine for trac atm
against nexcess / futurehosting.com i receved a private argument from a rtmpdump developer, as they are US based and hosting rtmpdump in the US is expected by them to be problematic.
That leaves DreamHack and the Telepoint/MediaHub offer. I thus accept these 2 offers
to keep everyone updated the hw for the Telepoint/MediaHub server has been ordered a week ago, there was some problem with the avalability of the CPU, so we will likely have only one CPU at first until a second is in stock No news about the DreamHack server [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB I know you won't believe me, but the highest form of Human Excellence is to question oneself and others. -- Socrates
