I agree a Brunei-type version of UK's Mirror service would be awesome. I thought of the University but I'm not sure they have the resources available to dedicate to this kind of endeavour. It might be worth investigating ... let me ask around :-) 2. I think you're right that a strong sponsor would be able to make good publicity from this kind of thing. I have the impression Sun might be less inclined right now though with the economic downturn affecting the industry. Then again, it could be a way for Sun to move some slightly older kit and still generate some marketing oomph. Hi Tooky.

Is there a university in Brunei that could help with hosting? Having a mirror service of a huge array of software could be very useful for them, as well as businesses and individuals. It might also be worth speaking to someone like Dell or Sun about the project to see if they would be interested in sponsoring (read: donating) the hardware. Sun I know have a good history of supporting open source projects with hardware. Supporting an ASEAN mirror like this could well be the kind of project they could see potential in.
