[Theforum] FundRaising and Hosting/Move Solutions Proposal

Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

-------------------- Start of message text --------------------

Dan,

1) This would be true no matter *where* the boxes were moved to. I think
you'll find Ron agreed with me.
2) It would also apply no matter *how* the boxes were moved.
3) Throwing stones at ensuring proper backups (and no, I don't think it
would have been forgotten, but someone has to introduce the subject)
because of who suggested doesn't really demonstrate rationality.
4) Right now, I don't have a religeous view on whether or not we should
host c/o Ron, in *either* direction. I *do* have a religeous view on
thinking it through properly and hosting in the place which is the best for
evolt. If Ron's is the best place, then no-one will be more supportive than
me. Think about the meaning of the word "prejudice" - thinking things
through rather than making snap choices avoids it.
5) Please remove selective reading and re-read "if an accident were to no
more than
> bruise our gallant driver (and please god no more than that),"

Cheers
Martin

never mind losing matt, protect the data!

..the data is fully backed up. a road accident could happen with UPS,
FedEx, or whatever. or a plane transporting evolt.org data could get
nailed. i cannot believe how badly you're projecting reasons not to host
with ron.

I have every intention of helping evolt.org turn into something that
doesn't *need* me...
