亲爱的朋友们：
Sorry for a message unrelated to Fedora, and sorry for using English! :)
The Linux Foundation had a small hardware lab in Beijing used for Code Aurora hosting (codeaurora.org). We have replaced this lab with a cloud solution, but we do not want to bring these servers back to the U.S.. They are 3 years old and out of Dell warranty, but except for a few bad hard drives, there is nothing wrong with them. We would like to give them away to someone in Beijing if the data centre where they are hosted right now does not want to keep them (we have not received a definite answer yet).
If we cannot leave them with the Data Centre, does anyone on this list want them? You would have to come pick them up from the hotel in Beijing between June 28 and June 30, when Ryan, the member of our team travelling to Beijing, comes to shut down the hardware lab:
Holiday Inn Express NO. 1 Building, NO. 10 Courtyard Ronghua South Road, Daxing, 100176 Daxing
These are the servers:
Two Dell PowerEdge R620 systems:
- Dual 6-core E5-2640 Intel Xeon processors - 32 GB RAM - 4 x 133GB 10K RPM SAS hard drives
Two Dell PowerEdge R720 systems:
- Dual 8-core E5-2670 Intel Xeon processors - 64 GB RAM - 8 x 900GB 10K RPM SAS hard drives (some of them with errors)
Please email us directly at konstantin@linuxfoundation.org and rday@linuxfoundation.org if you are interested and can come pick them up on those dates.
谢谢你们的帮助！

Hi Konstantin and Ryan,
Thanks for the big give away!
Although I have left Beijing and am now based in US, I still consider myself part of the communities there, mostly Fedora community, BLUG, and TUNA.
I think TUNA from Tsinghua University will be most interested in those servers. Recently they seem to meet server capacity issues, and acquiring those (if possible) could be a great help. I'm sure they do have someone who can pick the machines up. I'm CCing Justin Wong, current leader of TUNA. He should be able to give more decisive inputs on this side.
IIRC Fedora Chinese community and BLUG are now also using cloud-based solutions for their projects. Everyone from the list, please correct me if I am wrong.
PS: I'd be very happy to help coordinating the transfer and coming up with good usage of these machines in the future.
Thanks and Gig' em!
Regards, Alick

Hi Konstantin and Ryan,
I'm Justin Wong from TUNA, Tsinghua University.
We would be very happy if we can acquire some of these servers. I've also contacted an administrator of Tsinghua data center, who is pleased to host for these servers.
So if possible, we'd like to pick them up on the days u're in Beijing.
Cheers, Justin Wong

I also think TUNA will be interested in these servers. In Fedora Chinese Community, we mainly using shared resources in order to avoid finding data centers (and the cost$). While TUNA host servers directly in their campus, and they do hold *a lot* of mirrors for various Linux distributions[1]. They, and the linux community in China, will certainly benefit a lot from additional hardware.
