The result? Nothing was moved off emu except source control. Its all very well saying we should move everything off our own servers, but we tried that and it simply didn't happen. I think we have to accept that outsourcing everything may not be a practical goal in the short to medium term (if only because nobody is sufficiently motivated to do the work that would entail). I think a good compromise is to use a dedicated server, but to try to use it in the simplest most "vanilla" way possible. This means stick to stuff downloadable through apt-get, and don't do anything fancy without a very good reason. Emu had some fairly elaborate re-configuration which was ultimately the cause of its failure. Osprey (the new server) should remain as close to a stock Ubuntu install as possible.
