I'll have the machines in my car on the 16th (yes, Sunday). I'll drive
them down to Marseilles on the 17th. They'll be online on the 17th
(simple linux install (surely debian or ubuntu server) + ssh), some
admins will finish installing them later.

That's it. We'll continue sponsorship the bandwidth and such, be we
won't administer them anymore.

Exactly.

By a group, IMHO, its at a maximum, 4 or 5 persons.

Not me, I'll probably co-admin both of the 2 PostgreSQLFr.org servers.

> 2/ What do we install on them ? What do we need ?

IMHO:

- e-mail,
- cms / wiki ... whatever to have some content..
- ftp mirror of ftp.postgresql.org could be cool
- some kind of redundancy between both of these servers
- eu languages translations of docs & apps ?..

> 3/ How do we name them ? ;-)

Romus & Remulus ?
Tarzan & Jane ?
Black & White ?
Sun & Moon ?
Toe & Finger ?

??.. :))
