These days, it is probably cheaper and safer to split the data onto a couple of 64GB USB Flash drives, or compressed onto a single one. I keep forgetting how economical, and easier to mail, that those have become.
Meanwhile, I have put Rob in touch with a participant in collecting material for the Computer History Museum. It seems that there may be a meaningful check with the materials that Herbert Duerr have collected as well. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Dennis E.

Oh, duh ... @rob, I can send you a 500GB USB drive or even a 1.5TB SATA drive. Not sure what format you could put on it, assuming you run Linux. NTFS is preferable but FAT32 might work on the USB drive. Sometimes there are filename incompatibilities (such as ":" in filenames in an SVN). - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Dennis E.

This strikes me as sufficient to distribute it or house it somewhere. Whether the Computer History Museum would preserve such a thing seems possible, simply in compliance with the licenses that apply to the source. It would be up to their officials whether to do that or not. I have had a couple of contacts there. I will ask about this case. Meanwhile, there are a couple of things we could try to preserve the file(s) off-premise for you. I can provide you with an FTP account and a folder location if you want to try putting it on a web location I have, although I Think installing it as an SVN reload might be best. I'd Have to learn how to bring up SVN there, though. Another way would be to put it on OneDrive. I'm told I have 1TB available. It probably can't go up as a single file, though, and it could be tedious to break up. Other thoughts? </orcmid> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
