But let's not forget, the offer is generous. Thanks to Gary and the  
folks at Canonical for extending it.

As an alternative, I would like to provide some information on the  
plans the Foundation has for repository hosting. Currently, the  
repositories are hosted on a server managed (mostly) by Zope  
Corporation admins, who have done a great job even when disaster  
struck (disk crashes etc), so I'm not sure we would gain a better  
quality of service by moving elsewhere. Secondly, and I hope Rob won't  
hit me when he gets back from his travels, Zope Corporation has been  
building a new fully redundant hosting infrastructure for their code  
repositories, and Rob has told the board they would like to move the  
foundation repositories into this new infrastructure. In essence, we'd  
retain the same SVN setup, but hosted even better. To me, that sounds  
like the better option at this point.
