Iceland is cool (in just about every sense of the word!), but I'm not sure
it does a lot of good for our users in the most difficult-to-serve areas:
Asia, Africa, South America. (Notice the parallels with the global south

This thread is getting off topic. As stated before: The RFC is for a
datacenter in the United States.
Can we please fork this thread for discussing:

After working through the specifics internally, we now have a public
RFP posted[1] and ready for proposals. We invite any organization
meeting the requirements outlined to submit a proposal for review.

Well, perhaps I'm unfairly comparing the RFP's density to that of the
last two colo contracts I saw, but I'm not sure I have a copy of those;
I will take a look, and abide until them.
Jay, the idea here is to drum up bids

Thanks - definitely something to tackle once we complete the Tampa migration

Are you asking if they have varnish caches (they do not) or if they
are using some web caching on their environment
Hoi,
I am not so much interested in what they use. What I would like to suggest
is that we have partners in both Africa and Asia. They are likely to have

service in bringing Wikipedia at no cost to their customers. When we pay
