Portable mirror?

[Scott Williams]

  We have a request from SCaLE:

"we're looking to provide a distro. mirror on site during the show, do 
you think Fedora as a group would be able to provide a machine, NAS 
device or media (DVDs, USB, etc.)?"

A Fedora 14 DVD/USB would suffice, but for the sake of a mirror this is 
not an ideal medium.  Would we be able to bring a dedicated box to serve 
Fedora mirrors on LAN at the event?

Actually, looks like they will have a server.  I (or someone) could 
rsync ahead of time and upload the mirror contents when we get there.

Hello Scott,

I work with a web hosting company, I can talk to them about running a global
mirror for the new Fedora 14 images, if you believe it is beneficial.

  Chris,

They were wanting to have something on site for the LAN.  Last year the 
network was very overtaxed so they wanted local mirrors rather than 
everyone hitting outside mirrors.  Ideally either we can bring a box to 
act as a server during the event or we could upload a somewhat recent 
mirror sync to their server prior to the event.

By "box," what exactly are we talking about. Just a desktop? If so, I think
I can supply one on behalf of Fedora for use at SCALE.

I recommend mirroring both images and packages, maybe even doing a
transparent proxy for those that don't hear about the mirror and reconfigure
their machines like they should. If you need a hand let me know but I am not
sure of my travel plans yet. When you get this setup please write it up on a
wiki page somewhere as I am setting something up similarly for a hacker
space named noisebridge.net in San Francisco.
