Thanks for the note Nick,

actually we had up to now 2 possibilities for the host:

  a) at GNI (Andreas, Aarno) in .ch
  b) at Chimit (Rene) in .nl

Vincent has come up right now with option 3:

  c) at Telemaque in .fr

Ehi considers a hosting possibility too.

@Nick: You agreed to ship the box via UPS or other parcel service, right?

The need for the box would be actually pure IP hosting with a reasonable ammount 
of bandwith. We don't take too much away from it actually.

We need to negotiate with all parties how to proceed here. I'd also suggest for 
a upgrade of the box to a more recent distro, mainly for administrative purposes.

I'll get into touch with Andreas to ensure the offering is still valid.

Personally I currently prefer the GNI option in .ch, due to 2 main developers 
(even while currently not heavily active), and the fact that we would be on 
"neutral" swiss terrain, but this is not a must for me.
