Hi Tim!
OpenGeoServer.org currently stores 523 GB raw spatial data plus 166 GB cached data from other spatial data sources and I'm currently looking into how to best process Landsat data.
Landsat data processing needs a completely different technical infrastructure than OpenGeoServer.org which focus on processing static GeoTiff + data caching from other spatial web services so I would like to resolve the future of OpenGeoServer before I start doing the next spatial web-service.

Hello, as info for other people we use opengeoserver-tiles already in Wikipedia's OSM-Gadget as optional Satellite-layer.
I see opengeoserver-tiles of aerial images in the same category like our hillshading tiles from Toolserver, which are also looking for a new home. Both kinds of tiles need only static storage because they are not updated in the way of OSM-tiles. A grouping like metatiles could be useful.
About what a volume of images we are talking in the moment, how much can it be in the future? (I know we could get some terabytes of Landsat from NASA.)
As described above I see this tiles in an other category than OSM-tiles, but the status of new OSM-Servers can be found at: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33980

Hi Sumana!
I'm the guy working at opengeoserver.org mentioned in [0]. The funding from Wikimedia Germany for the current hardware will run out at the end of the year. So I would like to say hi and ask about the current WMF OSM Tileserver status?
I wouldn't consider opengeoserver to be production ready an a Wikipedia kind of scale, but I would love to keep the server alive within e.g. the WikiLabs infrastructue.
