Comment:

 the hardware is, basically:

  * 13 servers (mostly Dell R610 or R620 2xXeon with 386GB RAM and 2x500GB
 disk)
  * 8 storage arrays (Dell MD1220 or MD3200 21TB)
  * 8 network switches (Cisco 3740 or 4900M)
  * 5 routeurs (Cisco 2811, ASR9001, ASR1002 or ASR1004)

 this hardware was worth about 40 to 50k$ during the last evaluation, about
 6 months ago.

 the plan was to the ship the hardware to riseup and get them to set it up
 in exchange for hosting it in the long term. the setup cost is between 10
 to 15k$ and the shipping costs are between 3 to 5k$. this means a net
 20-30k$ benefit.

 we don't seem to have the funds to do the move right now, unfortunately,
 and we need to check if we could just host that stuff in place at cymru or
 if it absolutely needs to move out.

 so next step is to followup with cymru/sina. i also need to catchup with
 emails that arma sent me, but my email is down right now due to a major
 power outage in this area (!).
