I'd like to see the specs of the servers before committing. If they're well
performing machines, I would suggest we set them up as VM hosts the same
way as the others, and not dedicate them to one task.
Now,if we do that, I'm absolutely not against sticking them in the pgfr
guys place in Grenoble. Actually, I think it's a great idea - not putting
all eggs in the same place. But I would suggest we set it up in a way that
the postgresqlfr.org website has one dedicated VM, and we have other VMs
available for other things as needed.
Oh, also - Stephane, what's the datacenter like? Connectivity,
availability, etc?
That's assuming the machiens are actually reasonably new - if they're
actual "compaq" machines that means they're old, and probably not
worthwhile setting up VMs on. So in that case, I'm fine with single-task
box dedicated to postgresqlfr.org.
