[PLUG] Looking for a new home for mirrors.pdx.kernel.org hardware

Hello, everyone:

Our PDX mirrors.kernel.org node needs a new home in the next couple of
months, as the datacenter where it is currently hosted is being sunset.
It's a physical system (a 2U Dell head with a 4U external disk enclosure)
that doesn't really require that much other than lots of bandwidth -- and
by lots, we really mean 1-2Gbps (more if you can spare, but nothing crazy).
Our only requirement is for physical security, so it needs to be in a
datacenter with fully auditable physical access -- plus the ability to
restrict network access to the idrac so it's not flapping in the wind.

As kernel.org is a non-profit charitable organization, there are potential
tax write-off opportunities for any donated hosting and bandwidth.

If you think you may know of someone who can provide us with a new home,
please contact me off-list and cc mhalstead at linuxfoundation.org.

Best regards,
Konstantin
