[repost due to wong mailing list address - sorry for that]
Dear Debian team,
due to lack of time I am planning to donate my hardware to a dedicated open source project
that is contributing to improve the open source software availability
or hardware support (eg. GPUs) for IBM Power 9:
- Mainboard: RaptorCS Blackbird (TM)
- IBM Power 9 CPU (8 cores)
- Heat sink
For detailled specs see:
https://www.raptorcs.com/content/BK1B02/intro.html
I have opened a broad public "request for proposals" in the RaptorCS community forum
(and therefore not in the Debian wiki hardware wanted page):
https://forums.raptorcs.com/index.php/topic,386.msg3136.html
Please feel free to raise your hand if interested (as new post in the forum or "privately" via direct email to me)
and provide at least this information:
- Intended use of the hardware (and esp. why real hardware helps you more than an existing Power9 virtual or hosted machine)
- Destination country (sorry, only within the EU, see below)
- Public repos proving some of your current and past contributions to Power architecture
(if you are not a publicly "known" debian contributor)
Please note that I am using a "non-spam" email account for this donation (also to stay as much anonymous as possible,
but Paul Wise already received my real email address upfront).
Best regards
The donator
PS: Important restriction: I can ship it only within the EU (European Union),
since I do not want to go through all the trouble of customs declaration again...
PS 2: Of course I will prove being the legal owner of the hardware via a copy of RaptorCS invoice
to the recipient of the hardware donation.
