Howdy All,
I'll be brief. Roughly a year ago the Foundation moved to a new office in
San Francisco and inherited a "server room" full of equipment. Some of it
has been put to use over the last year, some of it hasn't. I do contract
work for the Foundation and one of my side projects is cleaning up the
space. We'd love to make it more useful, and we can't do that with a bunch
of gear sitting about. As such, I've made a sizeable list of gear that the
Foundation would love to donate to a good home. Right now the list contains
an assortment server related goodies, including 2 post rack shelves (count
60+), CAT5 patch panels, wire dividers, 42U Racks and some other goodies.
You can find the entire list on Meta [1] (which I hope is an acceptable
place to keep it).
As noted, all the equipment is located here in San Francisco, and
unfortunately there isn't time (or space) to pack it up for shipping - so it
is available by pickup only (hence why I'm only mailing sf & ca lists). I'm
happy as long as the equipment finds a home, but If you happen to know a
non-profit that might be interested (even better!), please forward this
message along to them - or let me know. I'll be happy to try and work it
out with them.
Thanks
-Jon

We need to schedule a meeting.
We have some stuff to discuss with the WikiConference West Coast. It's
now late August, and January is just around the corner.
I'm sure there are some other things we can talk about too, perhaps
discuss the WikiConference NYC, and how it wen this time? :)
Maybe we should meet up in the East Bay. How does Berkeley sound?
