Je reçois ça sur la liste d'annonces ibiblio. Ibiblio est un des plus
gros serveurs du monde, il est consacré à la culture, le libre en
étant une part significative (il héberge le LDP).

Je poste ça pour remarquer que l'ensemble des serveurs d'ibiblio ne
fait que 13 teras de données, remarquablement peu, quand un disque
d'un téra ne coute plus qu'une centaine d'euros... bon, il faut aussi
la bande passante :-)

ibiblio est un service de l'UNC (Université de Caroline du Nord).

I'm jumping in between Christmas and New Year's to thank you for your
contributions to ibiblio and for your support in the past year.

We've had a period a great growth over the past few years especially as
seen here:

2002 	 		2006 	 		2008
800 Collections 	1600+ Collections 	2500+ Collections
3 million ftp+www/day 	15+ million	 	16+ million ftp+www/day
1 terabyte of data 	8 terabytes of data 	13 terabytes of data
1 large server		22 www/vhost servers 	25 www/vhost servers
2 database servers 	5 database servers 	7 database servers
4 radio stations 	6 radio stations 	6 radio stations

In fact, the 2008 figures were taken at mid-year and we've grown since
then!

ibiblio is lways eclectic as our newest contributors, The African
Elephant Experts Group http://www.african-elephant.net/ and Pachyderm -
the Journal of the African Elephant, African Rhino and Asia Rhino
Specialist Groups
http://www.pachydermjournal.org/index.php/pachy/issue/current/showToc
show.

We, you and ibiblio, offer granular bits of everything to everybody in
the world; that is our strength and your gifts, a combined independently
managed set of miscellanies for a loosely connected world.

At the same time, we face new challenges. Some are obvious; the economy
and budgets everywhere have taken a nosedive since September of this
year. Some are less so; we will have a new Dean (the search is just
opened at the School of Information and Library Science) and a new
Chancellor at UNC (Holden Thorp who does understand what ibiblio is
about, but will be feeling budget pressures immediately).

Much of our ability to support you comes from your support of ibiblio.
That need not be in for form of money, which is of course always
welcomed and encouraged; it could be in the form of thanking UNC and NC
officials for ibiblio services and for the university's support of
ibiblio.

Thanks for your part of making ibiblio wonderful for over 16 years and
happy 2009.

Paul
