I normally stay out of the tech bike-shedding discussions, however I do<br>
want to point out<br>
<br>
- we are aeons away from requiring and running cutting/bleeding edge<br>
hardware (and having to pay for such)<br>
<br>
- in the grand scheme of things we are not spending a lot of money on<br>
hardware (on the one hand our sys admins and the OWG are very frugal and<br>
on the other see the first point)<br>
<br>
- the amount of money we spend is a lot of money for the foundation, at<br>
least relative to our other spending, however it is extremely unlikely<br>
that we could away with spending less regardless of implementation<br>
(distributed, 3rd party cloud etc etc etc).<br>
<br>
- our current setup is fairly straightforward, fancier schemes are very<br>
likely to be more error prone with the associated costs (manpower)<br>
<br>
All this said, I would recommend that anybody who actually wants to help<br>
should participate in the OWG and help with the other tech tasks that we<br>
have in abundance.<br>
