Is there any need for another test lab in Europe? I can't guarantee
anything ATM but if it can help and if Robert is OK with that, I can
ask my boss if we (Open Wide) can host none/few/several/all of them
for the community in one of our datacenters in Lyon (it's not far from
where the servers are currently located).

The bandwidth to the Internet will be limited (of course enough to
work without any problem) so don't expect to host high traffic web
stuff but it will be OK to run benchmarks locally.

Let me know if you think it can be useful.
