We (Oregon State University Open Source Lab) have been working with IBM for the last few years to help with this problem. We host a set of P8 (and soon P9) machines for them so FOSS projects can work on porting issues. You're welcome to sign up if you're interested [1].

We can certainly help as many projects as we can that are impacted by this. Situations like this is why we are still important today despite all the in-kind public cloud services projects can get. We provide a neutral hosting environment supported by various sponsorships (we can always use more!)

Our email systems are somewhat loaded from the email announcement so it might be a little slow. Things are slowly improving in speed however.

Congrats on launching your new company! Best of luck!

Its probably a situation where their contract with the facility/server space runs out on that date.

As stated above, we're using it at the OSUOSL to power all our virtualization for open source projects. It's been working out very well and we haven't had any major outage caused by Ganeti yet. If you want to know more about it I have been blogging and giving sessions about Ganeti. Check those out here:

Also don't forget about a web gui that the OSUOSL is working on written in Django called Ganeti Web Manager. We have a lot more features/bugs to fix but overall is a very usable interface.

If you make it to OSCON a co-worker and I will be giving a tutorial on Ganeti as well as a presentation on Ganeti Web Manager.
