Hi Konstantin and Ryan,
Thanks for the big give away!
Although I have left Beijing and am now based in US, I still consider
myself part of the communities there, mostly Fedora community, BLUG,
and TUNA.
I think TUNA from Tsinghua University will be most interested in those
servers. Recently they seem to meet server capacity issues, and
acquiring those (if possible) could be a great help. I'm sure they do
have someone who can pick the machines up. I'm CCing Justin Wong,
current leader of TUNA. He should be able to give more decisive inputs
on this side.
IIRC Fedora Chinese community and BLUG are now also using cloud-based
solutions for their projects. Everyone from the list, please correct
me if I am wrong.
PS: I'd be very happy to help coordinating the transfer and coming up
with good usage of these machines in the future.
Thanks and Gig' em!
Regards,
Alick
