Hi Ovilia, BTW, odd Westerner question. You write your name as Zhang Wenli and your email as Ovilia. Could you please tell me more about that? Which is your First Name, Last Name and possibly a Nickname? For me, for example, Kevin is my first name, Andrew is my middle name, McGrail is my last name (or family name) and KAM is my initials / nickname in one. I'm trying to learn what name you like to be called and I'm worried sometimes I have no idea if I am calling you by your last name, first name, nickname or something else :-)

One 3rd party versus another as far as I'm concerned so the same question I would ask if it was Google Analytics. Question: is the account for that a role-based account shared for the podling PMC to access so that it is accessible to all and stays with the project? > As Kevin suggested, Huawei provided servers for Apache that we may use. > That's a great idea. > But just to be clear, are the servers provided in the form of Huawei Cloud > [1] that can be assumed to be accessed all the time, or something like an > SSH account which Huawei could deauthorize afterward?

If we went that route of using Huawei, we would be formally asking them under the ASF targeted sponsorship policy (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JhZEcty2fSx7ZxiBs41j3qOUrqsA7TvKmQ13ZZ61lJY/edit) and a formal agreement would be created so it couldn't just be pulled out from under. This is one of the reasons we ask for 3 year agreements for hosting donations to promote stability. If Baidu is willing to donate some services, that's feasible to pursue especially echarts as a PMC is requesting and will use it. I just didn't know they, Baidu, provided those services too. If Baidu is willing to donate things, you could get root access to the box over to infra, use resources from Baidu and as I described, we could use a different URL for that mirror server to give faster access to the people in China. It will have to be an alternate URL though like we discussed and it should be a mirror of the same info on the main URL, but faster :-) Regards, KAM -- Kevin A.
