Western US mirroring?

Western US mirroring?

[Andy Tai]

Hi, just an idea:

The GNU Guix project currently has a substitution server mirror in the
East coast of the US.

No mirror in the Western US.

The OSU Open Source Lib (https://osuosl.org/) offers hosting resources
to FOSS projects...
https://osuosl.org/services/

Maybe the GNU Guix project can request hosting service from them, to
have a substitution mirror, for example, so more resources can be
available for downloading of artifacts for Guix users...

Maybe this can be expanded later to have more services for Guix and
other GNU projects in the West coast of the US, in cooperation with
the FSF IT?

Wonder if the idea is OK.

Hi, if the GNU Guix project agrees I can try to get the ball rolling
by applying, but I need OK from Guix maintainers so this can be an
request on the behalf of the Guix project.  Or the Guix maintainers
can go ahead and do it.  Let me know.

I can't speak for the collective but enthousiastic +1 from me.

OSU should already have me on file as representing Guix (for the POWER9 VM) so let me know if I can expedite anything.

Hi, if so you would be the best person for it. if guix maintainers authorize.
