Hello,

concerning hosting, I could easily host one smaller machine (like the
Overdrive 1000) in my living room, Tobias has stepped up, and I suppose
other members of the Guix community could do so as well. So we would end
up with a somewhat distributed effort, which would be nice for resilience
and spreading system administration load. Currently the web page for
the Overdrive 1000 mentions 26 available units for 600U US$ plus shipping
and tax. The Overdrive 3000 is out of stock.

For more centralised options, we could host machines at Aquilenet; in
addition to the rack in the datacentre where they host bayfront, they
just opened a "free form hosting option". Prices are here:
   https://atelier.aquilenet.fr/projects/services/wiki/Hergementlibre/7/diff
Prices are more or less proportional to electricity consumption; they state
that for 30W on average we would need to pay 20€/month. Over a few years
of lifetime this would add up quite considerably, compared to the distributed
solution.
