→Our infrastructure and tools
To be able to provide all the services mentioned here, we need some stuff. First of all, we need an infrastructure of hardware and on top of that all kinds of application.

Our hardware is located in Paris, France. It consists of a HA cluster of real and virtual servers and redundant internet connections. Obviously backup management is thoroughly implemented, and they do go off-site. Our setup is an impressive one, and a one that would make a large company pretty jealous :-)
Our hardware is located in Paris, France. It consists of a HA cluster of real and virtual servers (a mix of CentOS and SME Servers) and redundant internet connections. Obviously backup management is thoroughly implemented, and they do go off-site. Next to providing services that are visiable to you, there is some other interesting stuff going on behind the scenes. Most mentionable is our own build system with which we manage and build our updates and bugfixes and build updated RPM's and ISO's. A thing of beauty all by itself.
Next to our hardware infrastructure, obviously we have our applications. As for the applications we are using soley Open Source solutions:
* Mediawiki as our wiki
* Simple Machine Forums as our forums platform
* Mailman as our Mailing Lists manager
* Pootle as our translation management platform
* SourceForge CVS as our source code and patch management platform
* Rsync to update our voluntarily download and updates mirrors.
So for all the services provided by contribs.org, the default Time Zone is Paris, France.
