We need to move Squeak services for the new servers ASAP.

For a long time we’ve had free servers available via the SFC that we should be using instead of the Hetzner boxes that cost us (or more accurately, SFC) money. Every now and then we make a little progress in migrating but we really need to make a push on doing this *soon*. Effectively we’re spending other people’s money when we don't’ need to. And we don’t even have a ‘donate’ button on our website right now...

Levente is the official box-team leader so it’s up to him exactly how it gets done but I’d be really surprised if he couldn’t do with assistance from one or more people with some sysadmin chops. Please, volunteer if you have serious box-fu.

Chris Muller and I were talking about volunteering to handle the migration
of source.squeak.org, so I think that you can count on the two of us to
take up that part of the project. Chris has a lot of experience with
SqueakSource, and I handled the migration of squeaksource.com onto our
servers last year, so I think that between the two of us we can get
source.squeak.org moved. We will make sure that anything we do has Levente's
support and approval.
