I'm pleased to tell you that the servers have been deliverd and installed into the racks. They are awaiting some more setup which should be finished in a week or two.
My question to you is: what shall we call them? Our naming sheme revolves mostly about plants, often poisenous ones. The names used for the current Toolserver boxes can be seen at https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Servers, names used by the foundation can be seen at http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/Server_roles.
There's the OSM toolserver, the DB server and the tile cache to be named. We need suggestions BY FRIDAY. Note that the ultimate decision about the name will be made by the server admins, based on nothing but their vim :)
Great to hear that they're going online, now we can finally start testing this stuff for real.
Apparently I've been fooled into being one of these server admins for the server, so this means some new tasks, but exciting ones:)
