Charity for our little team?
Wed, Jan 16, 2008 05:23 PM
I don't often beg for stuff, but this is not for me
per se. The Phorum team is raising money to get all of our team (all 3 of us) to Santa Clara for
MySQL Conference. We will be part of the
DotOrg Pavilion again this year. We thank MySQL for inviting us. We just about have all we need for that part of our fund raising.
We also have need of a new server. We don't need much. But, our old Celeron is feeling the pressure of all the new things we are doing with our documentation system. This is where I am hoping some of you out there can help. Surely somewhere, someone has a dual Xeon with an older raid card in it that they don't need anymore. We do have a need for cpu power and for RAID. We lost a hard drive a few years ago and while we had backups, it was a hassle. We were down for days. We have hosting (from my employer,
dealnews), but I guess if the deal was right, I might consider it. I do run my personal email and another hobby site on the server. But, 90+% of the usage is for Phorum.
So, if anyone can help us out, either with hardware or a
donation, we thank you. You can email me at
brian@phorum.org.

I have some misc hardware I was going to build into a server, decided not to, and haven't yet sold on eBay. You might be interested in the hard drives. I have a bunch of 7200 RPM SATAs, sealed. Let me know. (I suspect you'd rather not build your own though)
