[OSGeo Oceania] OSGeo infrastructure - call for support

[Adam Steer]

Hi everyone

A lot of OSGeo's services rely on the Open Source Lab at Oregon State
University - and it is currently facing an uncertain future.

See this post from Regina Obe (long timeOSGeo system admin):

This post in the OSGeo system admin committee list:

...and this article from OSL:

What can we do in Oceania? I see two things: apply funding to the problem;
and/or apply infrastructure (we do have aome very large computers that call
themselves national infrastructure lurking about in Australia).

If you're in a position to influence in either (or some other way, noting
that OSGeo and all the other projects are well aware of commercial cloud
providers and the risks involved) - please get in contact directly with OSL
by 14 May (see details in the OSL article).

Cheers,

Adam
