<headline>Mirror, mirror on the wall, will someone sponsor Fink at
all?</headline>
<body>
<p>
Every large open source project has to face the problem of
distribution and Fink is no different. We want you to get all the
files you need to build your favourite application as quickly as
possible. A mirror close to your location is a first step to achieving
that.
</p>
<p>
We are actively working on building a reliable distribution
infrastructure consisting of mirrors sponsored by universities and
corporations.
Recently our list of mirrors had to be shortened considerably and we
need your <b>help</b> to improve its level of quality again.
</p>
<p>
Are you a student? Are you a professor? Do you run a Data Center? Are
you a developer with free time to spare? Even if you cannot say yes to
any of those questions you still might be able to help.
All the relevant information on how to run and sponsor a mirror can be
found on the <link
url="http://wiki.finkproject.org/index.php/Fink:FinkMirrors">FinkWiki</link>.
For specific questions you can <link
url="mailto:fink-core-***@lists.sourceforge.net">contact us</link>
directly.
</p>
<p>
We are looking for mirrors all over the world, but specifically in
these countries:
<ul><li>United States</li><li>Japan</li><li>Germany</li><li>France</li><li>United
Kingdom</li><li>Canada</li><li>Italy</li><li>Spain</li><li>Switzerland</li><li>Australia</li></ul>
</p>
<p>
We would like to take this opportunity to thank those who are already
providing Fink with mirrors. Without your continued support Fink would
not be able to provide the level of service it currently does. Thank
you!
