Any response? My situation is rather fluid right now (in terms of how much time I have available) but I think this is a topic worth discussion and planning. The sooner we start, and all that jazz...

Thanks for the info Craig.
I'm not aware of any other bills.
Regarding moving the server for billing/business reasons, frankly it's somewhat of a PITA ;). I don't have a lot of time right now to be setting up a new server.
That said one of my thoughts since the problems in October was that we should consider distributing our services across multiple servers, probably VPSes. By doing that when a problem occurs it should only affect some services and not all of them.
But this is something I could only work on in spurts and so I can't see anything happening very very soon.
Isn't this billing arrangement just temporary until the situation with SFLC is finally sorted out?

Hi--
I'd like to clarify the Squeak project's financial situation. Irecently reimbursed Squeak e.V. for past hosting bills, via Rita Freudenberg, their treasurer. Rita advises that doing business with Hetzner, the current provider, is too difficult to conduct from overseas (or even in a language other than German). She recommends that we switch providers.
I'd like to know what the box team thinks of this, and also get asummary of all ongoing bills we pay. Finally, I still have money left over from the ESUG's allocation to us, from when we were pursuing independent incorporation. I'd like to transfer that to whomever will be paying our bills in the future, assuming it won't be me.
thanks,-C
