Zaragoza University offers mirroring OSGeo downlods

[Tom Kralidis]

Hi Jorge: thanks for the info.  I think an analysis and recommendation
from SAC can help determine next steps.

Can SAC review and provide feedback as a first step?  Of course, once
time permits, given the current migration efforts.

Thanks

..Tom

Miguel already mentioned this on the SAC chat room some time ago so better probably to continue the discussion on an email thread.
