Hardware Donations

The Free Software Foundation Europe would like to thank all donors of equipment for their support -- hardware is an essential necessity for our work. We would in particular like to thank:

• 2007-03-21: Sun Microsystems
  For the donation of one Sun Fire T1000 server (8 4-core CPUs, 16GB RAM, 2x 73GB harddisks). FSFE is running Fellowship and e-mail services on it.
• 2006-05-20: Department of Informatics, University of Gothenburg, Sweden
  For the donation of one Dual Pentium III 1GHz machine with 2GB RAM and one IBM EXT300 disk cabinet with 14x 18 GB disk.
• 2005-12-27: SAMSUNG Electronics Germany
  For the donation of six SAMSUNG X20 XVM 1730 V notebooks that are being put to good use by FSFE's crew in Hamburg, Gothenburg, Milano, Brussels, Frankfurt and Vienna; as well as the donation of one SAMSUNG Digimax V700 Digital Camera.
• 2005-01-17: Hewlett-Packard Germany
  For the donation of two Compaq N2400 servers (Dual CPU, Pentium III 1GHz with 1GB RAM each). The machines have replaced our quite outdated web- and mailserver machines and are running core services of the Free Software Foundation Europe.
• 2003-01-24: Department of Informatics, University of Gothenburg, Sweden
  For the donation of one Andataco disk cabinet with 3x 18 and 5x 9 GB disk, one Single Pentium III 600MHz machine, one Single Pentium III 450 MHz machine and one Dual Pentium II 450 MHz machine.

What we need

While you can always support our activities financially and by getting active yourself, we also have need for specific hardware for our activities.

In particular, we are currently looking for

• backup hardware; more specifically tape autochanger hardware, preferrably DLT. We also need tapes.
• more servers (standard rack mountable 1/2U).
• fiber channel storage capacities for shared disks among the servers.
• remote control devices (power on/off, remote consoles etc)
• 19'' 14 HU rack, plus 19'' UPS and a 19'' switch/router.
  (we want to move to a setup where we have one thing that is entirely under our control so there won't be any other SysAds involved in the administration/maintenance of the hardware)

If you have other hardware that you consider donating and would like to know whether we have use for it, please contact office@fsfeurope.org.
