Hey, For my GUADEC talk, I’m wondering if you could answer some statistical questions about the GNOME servers. I need it a few days before the start of GUADEC, at the latest. If that’s not possible, then I’ll try and estimate the numbers as best I can.
I tried to find this information online, but couldn’t — if I’ve missed something, please point me towards it! The best I could find was https://wiki.gnome.org/Sysadmin/Servers, which I could estimate some answers from, but I don’t think they would be very accurate. Particularly, I would like to know: • The bandwidth our services used each year, for the last 3 years. I assume this would be dominated by website requests (www.gnome.org and GitLab) and tarball downloads. • The number of dedicated machines we have running (for hosting services or for running CI) and their average load factors over the last (for example) week. • Whether those servers run on renewable energy or, if not, which country and region they are each physically hosted in (so I can calculate carbon intensity of energy supply for them). • For the AWS cloud services we use, which regions they are provisioned in (since that impacts their carbon intensity, see [1]); and the equivalent (if known) for any other cloud services we use. Basically, my aim is to estimate the annual carbon emissions of the project’s server and CI infrastructure.
