Dear community
We need new hosting for the opensuse-community.org website as Bruno "tigerfoot" Friedmann can't host it anymore for personal reasons.
If you're not familiar with the site, it's just a basic place for hosting information and one-click installers for multimedia codecs, the YaST Community Repositories "feed" and similar things. For legal reasons it's better to have these things at arm's length outside the official openSUSE infrastructure. However outside the United States I'm pretty sure there should be no legal concerns about hosting this content (note: IANAL). It's been hosted by different individuals in a couple of different European countries for a decade or more now with zero issues.
The technical requirements are next to none. Maybe a few megabytes of storage required for static html/css and a few xml files. I assume there's a substantial number of hits/visits, but I don't have statistics. However the files are very small, so the amount of data traffic shouldn't be overwhelming.
I'm willing to continue to maintain the content, if I can get access to the new hosting via ftp or whatever.
So if you're interested in taking over the hosting, don't hesitate to step up, and Bruno will assist with transferring the domain and any other formalities.
Why not statically host it through github or gitlab pages? It's free, including TLS through lets-encrypt, and all you have to do to publish a change is 'git push'. https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/pages/ -- James Mason Technical Architect, Public Cloud openSUSE Member SUSE 2219 Rimland Dr Ste 301 Bellingham, WA 98226 USA (P)+1 360.752.6707 james.mason@suse.com
