[sf-lug] New SF Community Colo up and running

[jim stockford]

following up on this--
    currently SF-LUG has a machine (one of jim's towers)
at the coloserve/servepath facility on Spear Street, at no
charge thanks to Paul Lancaster of ColoServe.

    myself, i'd like to be supportive of the SFCCP colo
project at 6th and Brannon.
    in the early days of the group there was discussion of
a small group of us buying a colo spot for various
personal projects.
    i'd be up for sharing the cost of a 2-U space, even
willing to buy a box to go in it (it'd be my box, but
you could do as you please).
    anyone interested in a SF-LUG playpen?
