Hi Folks,

As you probably saw, we have deployed a new server to replace our 5 year old work horse. This new server will hopefully hold us for the next 5 years. It's got good specs; 6 core Xeon, 32G of RAM (easily expandable to 128), raid 10 (also easily expandable).

In a particularly nice development, this server was purchased by the Software Freedom Conservancy using funds provided by a donor. This donor doesn't want a particularly big fuss made out of it, and so prefers that I not announce a name publicly.

I'd like to thread this needle somewhat carefully, as *I* think it's a remarkably generous gift. So I propose that, at our next convenient opportunity, we all lift a glass in appreciation of anonymous donors everywhere!

Cheers,

Jeremy
