Hi there,

I chat with some of you on IRC about create a mirror of Xubuntu Project
on Brazil (we have a lot of users here, but not has a local mirror yet).

I also provide space and bandwidth to some other free softwares like
CentOS and LibreOffice too. The main question here is how I could do that
to help Xubuntu project?

When I start to host CentOS, I read their wiki and follow this steps:

1 - Do the first rsync (and the frequency to do that - two times per day)
2 - Inform on a specific e-mail the domain name, the bandwidth and the
server capabilities (http, rsync, ftp, etc)
3 - Start to be used as a mirror.

The motivation is help this project as we help others. We use Linux here
on our faculty laboratories, and this is our way to retribute.

The steps that I followed that time:

Hey!

Thanks for sending out this mail so we don't forget...

As said on the IRC channel, we now have a public draft for instructions
for potential Xubuntu releases mirrors at
    https://xubuntu.org/dev/mirrors

Any comments from people who know this area well are appreciated.

Cheers,
Pasi
