FYI...

The Operations Working Group moved the core database, website and API
servers to the Netherlands (EU) in late 2018.
While we still have some user data stored in the United Kingdom
(Forum, Piwik, Foundation wiki, mailing lists), it would not be an
insurmountable task to move these services to the EU.
Having an additional EU data center would help us mitigate risk and
make our lives easier.

We have also started to use AWS for some data storage needs, the data
is primarily stored in AWS Ireland.
