[SAC] OSGeo FOSS4G Vimeo Account costs and upgrade to PRO Unlimited or other negotiations

[Christian Willmes]

Astrid,

sorry for the late reply, I just was able to catch up with the SAC list 
mails now.
There was/is a severe spam attack on OSGeo infrastrucuture going on, and 
a lot of traffic was caused on this list, so thats maybe why nobody 
responded (at least not via the list).

But to your question. I am afraid, I can't give you a definite an answer.

What you ask would cost some money, i.e. installing some additional hard 
disks into an OSGeo server or renting some webspace for this solution 
(maybe a cloud storage service like Dropbox opr Amazon, or whatever?).

But to estimate the cost, we would first need an estimate of how much 
space (in GB or even TB) is needed for all the videos.

Then we would have to see, if that cost is lower, than the Vimeo offer. 
(I did not hear anything about the youtube idea, so I guess this is 
unpopular here).

For just storing the videos and providing access to TIB later, a 10 TB 
NAS for ~ 600 € should be sufficient, and could be bought from the 
FOSS4G LOC for that purpose I think?

Cheers,
Christian
