To be fair I am more than willing ot sponsor a server at OVH and give
ssh access to those that need it.

months, nearly a year since OSUOSL asked us to replace the fan. This is
frankly embarrassing. We cant even get a model number so that one of us
could personally drop ship it to them. That really looks bad on us...
Again
that is basically humiliating. With all of these issues I think it
would
be a great improvement to moved to sponsored cloud hosting. We would
actually have access and not have to worry about the hardware
maintenance.

My experience leads me to be pretty adamant on not relying on cloud
services we
have to pay for eve if someone sponsors and pays for it. We lose
control
and
reality is that these helping hands come and go. OSUOSL is a
university and
they have been supporting OSS projects for a veeeeeery long time. We
need
to
get our server into better shape though. Probably simpler shape.
