Main use of the server

Until now there are different proposals about the main use of the new server:

• Web server for serving static websites (to relieve Stallman)
  • Using the server and the offers in europe as chance to start having websites not in the own country or region (moving US/AU/... sites to europe and europe/AU/... sites to US etc.). This would be for legal reasons -- ZaragozaSavanne - 11 Mar 2003
• Production server for Mir or different applications (to have these sites outside of the EU)
• Community server
  • Replacement of Sarai
• Audio/Video streaming and archive server for all IMCs -- ZaragozaSavanne - 11 Mar 2003

Temporary solution

Because it wasn't possible to find a consensus at the IRC meeting on 9th march, it has been decided to use the server temporarely as an audio/video streaming and archive server in Calyx holland to coverage the war and actions against it. >> see BerkmanInfo -- ZaragozaSavanne - 11 Mar 2003
