Dear all,

Sorry if I did not catch this message before.
I volunteer to take part in this project with the community.

Migrating the platform would allow to clarify the community goals and
participants. As written previously:

* Community

We need to extend the list of core hackers, to define the community and
avoid that one person blocks or takes control of the hosting
environment.

* Cheap hosting

Host a minimal web server with OpenSC page. I suggest a cheap
http://www.kimsufi.com/fr/

* GIThub

Migrate to GIThub the code repositories. Code issues and pull requests
are enough to manage bugs and evolutions, provided that there is a
clearly defined community in charge of GIThub main projects.

* Build-farm

Have separate builds farms coordinated by Jenkins. This is already the
case of our build farm (Viktor and I). And we proved to run the farm
24x365. We run the farm on real computers. We can also provide backup.

We recently bought a 12-core supermicro computer, to add to the build
farm. We have received the motherboard, casing and processors and we
still need the memory (around 96 Gb). This is meant to be a virtual
server replacing my various computers in the build farm.

It is also nice to have build farms running behind firewalls with very
limited access to Internet using vlans.

I suggest that we start with the political issues first, to design an
informal community. Then we can host OpenSC safely on GIThub and start
the migration.

Kind regards,
Jean-Michel POURE
