Re: Marketing & promotion - Cheat sheets, LiveCDs, community calendar



rBuilder also hosts torrents automatically via amazon s3.  So all
images built are hosted on s3 which are automatically available as a
torrent.

Ah, it wasn't able to (or at least it wasn't advertised) the last time
I checked. If that is now the case, rBuilder/foresight seems like a
pretty impressively good base for us. Does it facilitate the splitting
out of translations like Ubuntu does?

Dave, I've been asked by the host to take torrent.gnome.org down from
lack of use; if we're going to actually usefully use it again I can
request we bring it back up again.
