Having now read the comment [1] I agree that while it may not be true about French universities in general, it was certainly phrased as "my experience" and was limited to the relatively narrow technical comment of who administrators might feel comfortable allowing access to. I have already been told multiple times here (not in France) that I wouldn't be allowed to host things (even a patchbot) so while one might disagree on the wisdom of such policies, it isn't limited to any particular nationality, and hopefully we can move any further comments about [1] to sage-flame.
However, these comments do touch on something substantive: - suggesting that nobody was working on the migration while you know that > we are working to set things up correctly (e.g. remote backup system), > and considering that workers are at your disposal, this is extremly > patronizing [2] > - maintaining the confusion between university hosting and the very bad > practices that led us to this situation [3] [4] > Namely that GCE might also have some drawbacks (notably, not being provided free of charge? perhaps others) and that there were people hoping to make a university system work. If there is a technical disagreement (or more than technical) on cloud versus uni, I'm not getting into that, but I don't see why we couldn't host in one place and backup in the other (indeed, multiple).
